991 Standard exhaust or Sport exhaust

I have an order in for a 991S with Sport exhaust. However, I have seen on various threads that standard exhaust has a button that enhances the noise? Which is better?

thisISit is an unknown quantity at this point
If there's a button inside that enhances the sound of the regular exhaust, I don't see why it wouldn't work to make a sport exhaust sound that much better.

There's no button on the standard exhaust that enhances noise. Only the sport exhaust. Also as per the Teamspeed review, with the sports exhaust, you get a resonance chamber with a membrane in between the cockpit and the engine, and when you select the sports exhaust button, the membrane vibrates in the resonance chamber and transmits some more of the engine and mechanical noise to the cockpit. Of course the entire exhaust system is changed as well, but that is just an added bonus.

Go with aftermarket. While the Sport Exhaust is a nice option, for the price, it makes more sense to me to get something you can tune exactly to your aural pleasure.
