Do over axle pipes make the 718 4.0 sound like the 981 GT4?

Including the Spyder, GT4, and GT4RS

In this video I get together with Crazy Eddie from Ed Guards to compare the 718 GT4 exhaust sound to the 981 and then I install over axle pipes to delete the GPF and see how they compare after.

Great video! I'll have to hear it in person, but it does sound closer to the 981 in the video. I've heard other 718s with cat deletes and nearly open pipes, and they just sound louder but not necessarily better. Yours seems to improve the tone as well. Must say I was a bit disappointed you didn't comment on @Crazy Eddie's dyslexic license plate, but maybe next time. ;)

I also noticed your Track Nanny had broken out into a cold sweat.... Will be good to know if it still passes sound at LG?

What? What'd I say....? 8-) Teasing, of course, but if you need a morale boost I'll admit the 981GT4 has the best sounding exhaust of any modern Porsche I've ever heard...
