The various reviews I've read on the '10 state that the new engine only produces a slight improvement from an exhaust sound standpoint. It'll still be anemic, so an after-market exhaust is a must.

The new 997.2 Turbo does sound better (deeper/throatier/louder) than the 997.1 Turbo. However, still doesn't compared to an aftermarket sports exhaust.

Our partner's in Germany – Cargraphic, have their 997.2 Turbo in-house and are completing the system currently. It's sure be lighter than the stock system, offer that great signature sound with some more power and torque. I will post when it becomes available which should be within a few weeks. Thanks.
