One last question. Does the blips while downshifting became more prenounced with new exhaust? From your video it seem it does. With the stock exhaust blips are almost unnoticeble, only way to hear very well the blip on downshifts with stock exhaust is to brake and keep the right foot on the accelaration paddle, I love to do it.
A video on start up would be nice

I just press one finger, maybe not even that, it´s just to keep the engine reving while downshifting it´s addictive and the blip sound it´s just amazing, but yes, if you don´t do it at all, might be better for transmission and clucth.

No drone when valve open or close. Only difference is when windows up it's quiet even WOT, but if windows down the it's hell coming loose.
I cruise @ 90km on highway and. It's not noisy at all. My tyres makes more noise then exhaust. 305 p-zero.
Gains are really felt unless in sport mode. I drive 99% w/o sport mode even in spirited driving.
Cold start is like a 599 cold start similar v12 bark. once it's warmed up it's slightly louder.

i see that you changed headers, cat, bypass and all that. What if, we only change the muffler and bypass only? will it produce similar or the same sound?
for me personally, changing all of that and only gain 21 hp is not that impressive. But i'm sure it's cheaper rather than we change the exhaust, cat, headers alone or separately not from IPE. But sure sounds really nice!

I love kicking the throttle in between down shifts on the PDK. I might look/sound like an retard doing it around town while coasting to stops, but god the sound is amazing. Even better if you have PSE and sport plus! It's a very smooth action, no jerkiness, just a great sound.I can't imagine it doing any harm to the transmission - anyone know?
Edit: For PDK* (other dual clutch transmissions may be different)

. The blip sound is great great great, the 458 does the same blip without the need of pressing the throttle, but with PDK you need to press a bit in order to have it.If I make it alot, after a while I star to smell clucth, so I believe it´s not the best thing for the clucth, for transmission there´s no arm. Anyway you have to master it while doing it, if you press to much throttle it will smell, but if you just press a little it wont.
I ended up ordering the PSE which is already in my garage, will install it next week. I really can´t waite to hear the PSE on my Cab, reving up and down with it must be amanzing. I´ve heard from those who install it, from 5000rpm up it has a wonderful racing tone/sound, the waite is killing me

Great looking exhaust, can´t waite to hear your first impressions. I ended up buying the PSE and will install it next Tuesday. I decided to keep with factory parts and what I´ve heard from those who made the upgrade it´s well worth it, but have to agree your exhaust is by far, the best one I ever heard on a 997.2, it´s just amazing. When are you going to install it? Keep us posted and congrats.

I like! My only hesitation with this type of mod is you already have a fair amount of engine and road noise in a cab (I have an '07 S). Is the new system noticeably louder with the windows up?

looking forward to hearing about/seeing the install! do you have PSE? if so, i'm curious if the PSE button retains functionality with this.
cheers
