To get exact sound would be difficult to do in a turbo car since the turbo obstruction alters the sound. An example a 996 turbo will never quite sound like a GT3 which has practically the same engine w/o turbos. Try as you might a trombone will never sound like a trumpet. You can get a different flavor of awesome with different tuned exhaust, which then is subjective.

Continuing this tradition of the morning -- I would propose to do your own sound symposium. Put a microphone outside the car near the back and have a receiver inside the car. 
Actually, I had a chance to drive a 991S and I agree that the sound is very nice when you step on it. However, it was almost too abrupt for me. The sound come on when you're on the throttle, but almost goes too quiet when you're cruising again. Yes -- I realize that this is the best of both worlds -- but it was almost a bit artificial for me. Hard to describe.....

[quote=Aerodude;3581562] exactly. it isn't coincidental that a push of a button allows for the deeper exhaust note than the standard mode provides. if you don't push sport mode or sport mode + ( i think there's two configs beyond just "drive"? ) it stays uncharacteristically quiet for a 911. once in sport, it does sound wicked though, and what's really cool fun is the throttle blip in the 991S. it's very cool, and yet you nailed it. somehow "artificial" sounding.

It truly does!! This must be one of the best sounding 911s they made.

If it has 100 cel cats, it will more than likely pass w/o issues. These cars burn extremely clean and most techs don't know p-cars.
