Ok RC....is right that you do your tries...but the good thing would be if the sound kit would function for the ON/OFF and when it is "ON" it is always open!
Why buy a such system for leave it always deactivated? So it's simple to buy a less heavy and more performant "aftermarket" product...NO?!?
It's been discussed many times.
For legal reasons Porsche cannot bend the noise limitations laws, hence the cut out between 50 and 80 kmh or something like that.
Noise emissions for EU are actually calculated at 80 kmh in 5th or 6th gear I think.
For the After market exhaust, it's not a problem at all because they are not concerned with EU regulations.
And of course, they void the warranty.
Actually you can get fined in France when your exhaust is too loud!
Police have special machines that calculate the db amount, very frequent with sports bikes, but I only know one car driver to who it happened, it was a F360 with Tubi exhaust.
This is why the switch trick annoyed Porsche, it was easily bypassed at the dealership (looks like it's not too hard with the 997 either keep fingers crossed).
But that's also why my dealership (owned by Porsche AG) made me sign a responsability discharde claiming that I was 100% responsible for the use of my sport exhaust, especially whitin an agglomeration.
There you go.
