987.2 exhaust / intake note disappointment

[prtyqwerty]

Hi,
I have bought a 987.2 and have to say I am increasingly disappointed with the intake / exhaust note. Even on a cold start there is very little theater, this is even worse in the cabin. Below 3.5-4k is sounds like a Dyson. It sounds ok past 4, but only ok. I didn't pick up on this during the test drive unfortunately.

Previously I had a 2.7 987.1 and the noise was great. You could hear the engine right behind you working away at all RPM. I have a 996.2 and its similar to the 987.1 - real character and noise throughout the rev range. Is this the same for other DFI engines in the 991 / 981?

Is there any fixing the DFI lump? Happy to throw some money at an exhaust and intake system. Anyway it will sound the the M96/M97 or am I better cutting my costs and moving on to something else.

Some reading for you on it.
A lot of people swear by the Carnewal option.

I bought this from Carnewal for my 987.2 Cayman S, its just the right amount of noise, I see they say the newest version is louder...hmmm.

One had a 987.1 and 987.2 and they both sound poor with std non sport exhaust and good with updated exhaust so fear not.

Dunc.

I had a Carnewal exhaust on my 987.2 2.9 which I loved. It didn't drone at lower rpms but sounded fantastic when pressing on. Definitely recommended.
