With the windows up the Cayman S is much louder than the 997S. If the 997 is too loud for you then I'd stay away from the Cayman.

Funny thing is the older I get the worse my hearing is and the more the road noise bothers me. Seems contradictory but I am also trying to quiet my airplane down which never used to bother me. These are just some of the things you young guys get to look forward to later in life.

Cajundaddy,
What is the name of the shop and where is it, I may be interested in doing something to the 911 with my sound system and sound damping.
Thanks

Here you go. They are in Orange CA: All About SpeakerWorks/USD Audio
They do nice work and understand Porsche. If you like what they do with your car you may want them to do your plane also. Good guys.

Say that isn't the case. Hopefully, its not as dreadful as everyone has said.

I agree...drove both back to back, within a matter of minutes...Cayman S was smoother sounding...997 was a little bit more roudier (sp?)...me likes 997!
