Please do not take this as an argument. I can only tell you my experiences with my car; I do not own a 911. I have a Cayman S with
PASM and
sport chrono. I added Miltek headers, and catbacks; This makes the sound more raw and the way I like a sprts cat to sound. As far as the other aftermarkets exhaust sound it is probably the tamer of them out. That is what I was looking for. The
PASM is excellent. The roads here are horrible, and I track the car every so often. I use
PASM normal all the time except when I track the car. I have 19" rims and 18", I have opted to use the 18 most the time because I added H&R sway bars front and back, The sway bar stiffen the suspention a little bit say 10-15%. With this setup the 18" are easier to live with.
You have a great car, and I also considered it, because I have two little ones that could ride in the back. I chose the Cayman S because it is not my daily driver, and I liked the looks much better. It is also my first Porsche. It is also a lot easier to drive for a driver that is learning than the 911. The difference in $ did not hurt. I am happy with my choice.
I am sure you are happy with your car. Congratulations on your new car! I think we both are lucky to be driving great cars.

PASM - Porsche Active Suspension Management
|
 |
This active damping system offers continuous adjustment of individual damping forces based on current road conditions and driving style.
The driver can choose from two setup modes, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’, using a separate ‘damper’ button on the center console. ‘Normal’ mode is designed for general road driving and circuits with uneven tarmac. ‘Sport’ mode is intended for smoother track surfaces, where the harder settings help eliminate pitch and roll.
In either mode, PASM continuously evaluates the current conditions while automatically selecting the corresponding damper rates from the respective set of mapped values.
A range of sensors are used to monitor the movement of the body under acceleration, braking and cornering maneuvers, as well as on poor road surfaces. The PASM control unit then evaluates this data and modifies the damping force on each individual wheel in accordance with the selected mode. The result is a significant reduction in body movement as well as a better grip on the road.
For example: if ‘Sport’ mode is selected, the suspension is automatically set to a harder damper rating. If the quality of the track surface falls below a certain threshold, the system immediately changes to a softer rating within the ‘Sport’ setup range. When the quality of the tarmac improves once more, PASM automatically returns to the original, harder rating.
