I hate to tell you that Porsche's sport exhausts are also neutered. You see, the US noise laws specifiy when and how the noise will be tested. So Porsche, like others, cheats a little and allows noise at certain speeds and not others. Better than no noise, right? The last one I had gave a nice little bark on startup and sounded pretty decent, except from 25 mph to 40 mph, where it reverted to noise Nazi mode. Wouldn't want to make noise in town, you know.

Porsche usually uses horsepower and consequently acceleration, to create the pecking order. They usually don't make the lesser models sound worse, or look worse, to keep us in line buying the "good Porsches."
