When most aficionados think of configuring a Porsche 911 Carrera (S), the Sport Exhaust option is almost a given. Nevertheless, there are more reasons to skip this feature than just the $3,000 financial side it brings.
And we're here to bring you a comparison that shows just about every aspect of the standard and the sports exhaust harware. This battle involves a pair of 991.2 Carrera 4S models, with the PSE (Porsche Sports Exhaust) machine featuring a PDK tranny and the standard exhaust vehicle using a manual gearbox. So yes , the shifting sound comparo is not exactly accurate, but this is only a small part of the experience, so we won't complain.

The 991.2 mid-cycle revamp has brought much more for the Porsche 911 than just the switch to turbocharging and we're not talking about the updates delivered for 500+ hp models such as the GT3 or the Turbo/Turbo S.

Instead, we're referring to the fact that the said Carrera (S) PSE option now changes the look of the car, as it replaces the layout of the tailpipes.

Then there's the decibel-related part of the adventure. Truth be told, the in-cabin experience isn't all that different. Of course, this doesn't apply to the Cabriolet incarnations of the Neunelfer.

Of course, there's always the aftermarket path. Since the Porsche 911 can be considered the favorite child of the tuning realm, developers offer plenty of options for the rear-engined machine, whose soundtrack ranges from "spicy" to "apocalyptical".

Nevertheless, the tuning bit is another story for another time, which is why we'll return to the factory matters we're here to discuss and invite you to sit back and enjoy the clip, which is almost elevent minutes long.

And, as we mentioned in the title, this video will also show those who aren't all that familiar with how the PSE works that the Germans have hidden a little machine gun audio feature inside the system. The pops and crackles are on the house.
