Great! I'd say you aren't missing anything in the sport exhaust. It just makes things sound louder.

My off-the-lot 2018 base Cayman has many of the same features as yours. To judge from mine Porsche Connect does give you Apple carPlay through the USB plug in the central armrest. It does not give you Porsche Navigation but as I understand it that isn't such a big loss either. It doesn't give you real-time traffic updates. It does give you maps, a destination database, and routing. I've been using Apple CarPlay and it does just fine. Siri accepts voice commands through the push-hold-for-3-sec operation on voice button on the headlight stalk. I don't have a SIM card and don't know what that would do if I had one. I can't do voice input to my bluetooth-connected Android phone, but the bluetooth phone connection goes away anyway when I tell the PCM to use the iPhone in the center console as an iPhone so I can do CarPlay. There are many mysteries I have not solved involving the interdependencies of the SIM card option, the USB plug, bluetooth phone connectivity, voice input, Navigation, and gravity waves from distant galaxies.

Gravity waves is the easy problem, relative to the other listed issues!😋

That was my conclusion too.

I have a sports exhaust. You want it?

If it's a 2018, I think it should have Sport Exhaust. I know PSE was standard on my 2019. I know it was an option on the 2017s, guess I'm not certain when they cut that in as standard.

PSE was not standard in 2018.

Looks like it just has the sport tips...

 

[Bill H]

I'm missing something here or having a "senior" moment. You are going to pay $75k for a 2018? Enlighten me.

 

[alfaguy]

I think that was list price. My '17 Base sticker was about $73k.

My 2018 CPO 718 has sport exhaust and is listed on the sticker as an option
I like the sound

Porsche Connect is nice-I have it on my '18 GTS but its better to have Porsche Connect Plus. The PLUS gives you the option of acquiring and saving information while you are at the track. Were I not in line for a GT4, I would spring the extra cash to have the connect option aded to my car. Aftermarket devices do work well to get this info but not nearly as seemlessly and integrated as the Connect Plus does. Porsche should include this as standard on all GTS versions, as its the one touted as a daily driver and track warrior, IMHO.
