992 Exhaust mod

[Enabler]

Just picked up a 992 2s with pse. But find it somewhat lacking in sound. Any suggestions on what to do to make it louder. Change the exhaust or unplug the valves?

Thanks

Same, I find the 992 w PSE is lacking in sound.
Workshop did suggest Fabspeed Motorsport Sport Headers for better sound .

I had a 991.2 S, which is similar, that had a rather tame sound. All I did was add sport cats (Soul) and a tune and all was fine once in Sport+ mode. Cost of the mod was about $5K and was considered and Stage 2 tune.

I eventually will do the same to my new 992 GTS… just need to wait for more funds:)

I have a 991.2 S and the Soul Sport Cats make a night and day difference when Sport Exhaust is turned on and even more when Sport driving mode is selected. It's great because in Normal driving mode with Sport Exhaust turned off, it's only moderately different which helps if you like to enter and leave your community quietly

I have a tune but honestly don't think that has any effect whatsoever on the sound of the exhaust.

Any videos of the sound, very interested in a similar setup.

I’ve been researching soul sports cats for my 991.2 with PSE - shop is recommending this as best exhaust mod for sound, Any experiences with just doing sports cats? I already have a stage 1 tune - this is really about sound. If I want more performance I may to the stage 3 tune - with upgraded inter coolers and the larger turbos.

I have a 992 C2s and a buddy has the same car. He has sports cats on his car and gets about 15-20% more volume. The biggest difference I have notice between our cars is that he get better turbo sounds. He also replaced his intake filters. At $3,500 for the cats I'm on the fence if it worth it for me. I'm not unhappy with the stock sound but I would like to get more volume in sport and sport+.

Same here - sound for the money seems low

There aren’t many ‘bolt on’ modifications that will give you improved/louder/throatier sound over stock system besides sport cats or headers both of which for good quality run around $3k-ish a piece. You can get some a little cheaper that will sound more or less the same but if we’re taking about the 992, why would you want to go cheap on after market mods on a $150k+ German sports car? The only exception that will give you more sound for less money is to go catless but then you’re flirting with epa standards making your vehicle essentially illegal to drive (except on track) in many places.

I agree. Additionally removing the cats often time leads to exhaust fumes that can be smelled inside of the car.
