You need to get Jessica an exhaust like the one at the NTAXS event.

Nah, Porsches have always sounded like crap to me. Like loose bits rattling around the crankcase. Don't know what it is but I have never heard a Porsche engine that inspired lust. More like cringing. Nice looking. Indisputable performance. Sound like crap.
I take it you haven't been around many Porsches...

I think the Porsche flat six is one of the best sounding engine/exhaust combos in the world, even in stock trim, but certainly with added gusto after modification.

Or perhaps this:

So much more raw and mechanical than the synthetic hyperlab tuned exhausts of Lamborghini and Ferrari.

That video really isn't helping your case. Both those cars sound like complete ass.

The other two sound a little better, but this vid I think better captures the great sound of a flat six:

That exhaust isn't stock I don't believe, but stock is usually just quiet.

I will say that at idle, or low rpms, they do sound very odd. At WOT in gear they sound amazing, depending on exhaust mods. They are way too quiet stock.

You need to go visit the Zonda 760RS thread and watch that video. That is the best sound I've ever heard on a street car.

Love that video. I've seen it (or one just like it once before).
