Took about two days after the PPK was installed and it appeared to get louder. The downshifts (in sport) mode sound awesome ("burble"). Catches peoples attention. In comfort mode, the exhaust is a more quiet.

The sound of the car is perfect now.

If I ever want louder, I will pay the $3-4k and get the meisterschaft with dual modes (loud and quite via a switch).

I think PPK and increased mileage fix the exhaust issue. There is always MPE for about USD1k.

Akra would be the gold standard though, descent USD3k before labor on that one
