The 996 started to sound "better" in 2002, with the additonal of some nice vario stuff. What I mean by that is that they tweaked both the intake and exhaust (if memory serves) to come on at about 2700 RPMs.

When you drive the 996 2002 and thereafter, the sounds is pretty nice indeed, once you get to these RPMs. Othewise, it is quite docile., like the Box exhaust.

Again, from memory, the Box does NOT have that sound. I don't think this is just a change in exhaust thing, but there are clearly better experts on the Board to help you out?

Jim, Doc, are you listening?
