I thought it would be very, very loud, as many 2-out mufflers are; but it's NOT.
It's a nice, low mellow sound. It sounds great at high RPM in the tunnels, too.
I can't tell you enough the quality of the work, very professional looking, polished and well-thought-out.
I like the black with the bumpers, trim, etc.; cohesive.
Just a fabulous job, from design through execution.
BTW, I've understood the 'heat shield' to be mostly to protect the cat from grass, etc. if one drives/parks on flammable vegetation.
Also, someone makes an aftermarket heat shield that bolts to the lower valve cover on the L side; a standoff. I can't find the name of the mfg at the moment. Porsche never used one.

We used to make them (HeetSheets). Now out of production.
