Good morning chaps

Being only 5 weeks into the ownership of my first Porsche, I'm still getting to grips with things. One comment that I've now had 3 times from different people is 'Your exhaust is blowing' which is annoying but also creating mild paranoia. Basically the exhaust sounds exactly how I would expect it to sound (gorgeous!) apart from in just 1 circumstance:- when the engine is hot and I'm giving gentle revs to park up it does indeed sound a bit 'loose/deep/blarty/"wet f4rt"' for want of better words. Is this normal for a C2? Absolutely fine otherwise. It's always done it, and neither of the 3 dealers it's been associated with commented on it, including the MOT tester.

Sounds like you may have PSE?

Visually check the left and right mufflers.
The seams do split open.

Had a local Porsche independent have a look and listen. Exhaust looks brand new and he brought a couple of mechanics out to listen to it! Normal then! :-)
