Base standard exhaust by the look of it, if it's real, I like it.

Not sure yet.
At points it sounds like a sink drain clearing.

Makes me want to go to the garage and start up my 981 just to listen to a proper engine.

So you think that sounds bad yeh ?

To me it sounds like a mix of air cooled and a scooby, i really hope it sounds as good as this!

That sounds how I imagined a Boxtaru would sound, its not horrendous and certainly much better than the VAG 2.0 turbo engine I had in an S3 Audi so things could have been worse !

God that looks FANTASTIC on the mov..but the sound...devisive...how much fuel is wasted on the burp-fart theatrics?...I like that stuff, but it does sound a bit OTT..trying too hard.. undecided.

+1 I'm not anti F4 but that sounds absolutely dreadful to me - and nothing like the sound on the configurator website (which I like for the 718, but not the 718 S)

Sounds pretty much like I imagined, a bit more refined 365/912 sound.

I am must have different ears to you!

In the end, its all subjective, if you like it, then you like it!

Sounds to me like its misfirering on one cylinder at low revs.

Doesn't sound like the 718 http://cc.porsche.com/icc_euro/ccCall.do?rt=145466...

Looking at the tailpipe it presumably is the base 718 and from the pops and bangs on the overrun I'd guess has the sports exhaust. Actually sounds much more like the 718S on the configurator - which also has similar pops and bangs, so probably has sports exhaust.

you can keep the over run 981 crap as well, that would do your head in.
