Exhaust noise... please help!
No comparison at all. V6 smooth and woofly before smoothly snarling; flat 6 all snarl and loose bolts (in the nicest possible way) before a magnificent howl. Both nice in their own way but...................

Love the gen 2 Macan when I had one as a loaner. They are great cars but gen 1 GTS sounds truly magnificent in comparison and gives me a thrill every time I turn the ignition.

I still remember the day my GTS was started to drive it out of the showroom when I collected it from new. Every head in the showroom turned to see what had been fired up. A special noise indeed

How does the sound differ between GTS and petrol S with PSE?

If you looking for Pre Turbo Carrera or Boxster exhaust notes from any Macan your going to be sorely disappointed whatever configuration. The best exhaust note you’ll get would be with the gen1 GTS. Still miles away from any Porsche sports car model, especially past but also present.

Yeah not expecting it to sound like a sports car but hoping it’s at least similar to my 6 cylinder petrol 340 it’s replacing?

My Gen 1 GTS sound far exceeds the sound the wife's M135i made, almost the same engine as yours although they say the 135 engine sounds better than the later 140.
Almost up there with my F-Type, even has a bit of a crackle on overrun
