Pretty shure that there are differences how the noise is measured in Germany and in the US. In general a US stock exhaust is louder than a EU stock exhaust.

I can't imagine it would be. For 986 in UK like most of Europe you just have the rear cats and the same single box design exhaust. I have recently swapped back to the standard 400 cell cats from 100 cell ones and whilst yes it is quieter I would expect another pair of cats in the system would dampen the sound a lot more.
