Exhaust sound was just one more reason I preferred the 987.
My 06 S sounds much, MUCH better than any of the 986's I drove, but post 03/04 986S did sound better than earlier models.
Call me crazy, go ahead, it's okay ( ) but it's not that the exhaust is louder, it just has more rasp and character and sounds a bit more like older air cooled 911's.
My favorite was always my '70 914/6. It had the same muffler as a 911, but I guess the different piping made it more raspy, almost like tearing a big piece of canvas.

I really wish we had some sort of dump system so I could blast the next **************************** on a two wheel tractor (Harley-Davidson) I have to sit next to at a stop light. I guess they think 'cause I'm sitting in a sports-car with the top down, I'm gonna like the sound of a puking two cylinder tractor with open pipes.
If we start running them all off the road, will they stop that "loud pipes save lives" BS?

How many miles could I get away with driving my Box with open exhaust?

I've told many, by actual words and sticking my fingers in my ear with a dirty look.
I'm not the least bit intimidated by "bikers." Most are really stock brokers and accountants, anyway.

I just don't get why someone would want their Porsche to sound like a Scoobie-doo, or any ricer for that matter.

And yeah..... another +1 on the Harley rant. And add stupid teenagers with their look-at-me subwoofers to that.


Know the difference between a Harley and a Hoover?

The dirtbag goes inside the Hoover.

That's a keeper! Almost as good as the Porcupine/Porsche classic!
I still want to do a nice embroidered golf shirt that uses Porsche font but says Porcupine, just to wear to Brumos and Porsche events!!
