An article in the June 2005 issue of Excellence magazine states the following:

"There's another audio category in which American buyers benefit and open cars owners get even more. Because of this country's relaxed exhaust-noise standards, United States buyers get the loudest exhausts of any 997. "The exhaust sound is even more aggressive with the Cabrio because of the open cabin" says Bernd Kahnau (Project manager for 997) with a broad grin. "We wanted our customers to really be able to hear the engine."

I know that I thought my 997S cab was quite loud. I was wondering why anyone would want the PSE. My car can already wake the neighbors. With the top down the exhaust note is pretty loud when going through the gears. At cruising speeds it is pretty tame. At take off it makes a grunt sound as you tap the gas. It causes heads to turn.

Phil, I believe this. When I hear the video clips from Europe STD exhaust, it sounds nowhere close to my Cab-S. How is your car? Any long trips?
