Porsche Sport Exhaust

I only decided to buy a 718 - (982) after hearing one fitted with a sports exhaust & rather like the pops & backfires. Much like Gallatin, I predominately drive my car in sport setting. I personally still miss the flat six howls generated by my old 981 & previous 986, but the 718 sound isn't anything like as bad as some journalists would have people believe. Maybe just a little bland & monotone compared to the sheer musicality of the engines that preceded their introduction. To my ears the fitment of the Porsche sports exhaust considerably improves matters & as I've mentioned elsewhere, a couple of my friends have actually expressed a preference for the sound of my current car over that of my previous Porsches. That's the thing, it's all purely subjective opinion & neither of my friends are observing the sound from the same place I am. Neither have owned either a Porsche flat six or one with the new engine, they don't care, they have no emotional ties, they simply like what they hear from my current car. As for those who pass judgement on the 718 without ever having driven one & only having listened on a computer, does anyone actually take these clowns seriously? Many simply jumped on the band wagon & are clearly incapable of forming their own opinions in any case. Make no mistake the 718 (982) is clearly superior to the 981, except perhaps in the engine sound department & even then those that haven't previously owned a Porsche don't necessarily agree. What does surprise me is that anyone considers an aftermarket sports exhaust system rather than Porsches own, but perhaps there are different conditions in the U.S of which I'm unaware. Let me elaborate, in the U.K it's possible to extend the warranty of any Porsche for a period of up to 15 years. It's pretty much a full front to back warranty regarding the actual mechanicals though obviously it doesn't cover consumables & a few other items. The prices are very reasonable & also include vehicle breakdown / recovery services. It's actually such good value that I consider it a complete no brainer & always extend. However you cannot extend the warranty of any Porsche vehicle to which non-genuine Porsche parts are fitted & that means pretty much anything & even extends to something as rudimentary as a non genuine battery. Is it different in other countries?
