Do you have an "S"? My understanding is all the wiring is already on the car. What kind of price are you getting from the stealership?

Thanks

About 3k out the door including tax and labor. Then I will sell my S exhaust and tips and make a few hundred. It was 2950 plus tax had it been ordered with the car so I am pleased. I used the 15%, off coupon u can find on your dealers site. I will ask about the labor hours and preinstalled wiring when I drop it off and update the thread with what they say

Thanks in advance. As I said in an earlier post, I really want the AWE exhaust. I just want the option to quiet it down when I want.

Honestly you will find that the AWE exhaust sounds incredible in quiet mode and will use that most often. Its nice and subtle and when you get on it the valves open and the heavens open up. Loud mode is really loud... Suited for when you are really wringing it out or on the track. Agree that the AWE is better if you can control it.

I will be very surprised if the PSE wiring is already in you car. Porsche did not pre-wire the 997 for PSE it the car was not ordered with PSE. Unless they changed this practice for the 991, I don't think the wiring is in your car.

I had the factory PSE fitted to my 991 C2S. All the needed wiring was there- the console switch just had to be added. Works perfectly and meets my happy noise/quiet needs.

I harbor illusions about stock setups being easier to sell when the time comes. But it is equally likely that the AWE could be a sales point with a knowledgable buyer, and by the time I sell this car the $$ difs will be in the noise (so to speak)).

Just clearing up some confusion. The PSE tips are different from non-PSE and arent interchangeable. They are similar in appearance but not fitment.

Thanks for this. Everyone I've spoken with that has knowledge about the 991 thought this was the case, but up till now, no one has been able to confirm!

I learned a little more today when I had my car next to a PSE car. There is some vacuum line work to be done if you are fitting the OEM PSE. That doesn't need to happen with the AWE since the valves are in the same place as they are on the non PSE exhaust . So for AWE it truly is plug and play. Get the button, install the exhaust, recode the car. Done!

I was quoted 4 grand for the pse retro fit on a c4s, does that sound about typical?

Take advantage of the Porsche 15% off coupon available on most dealer sites. It will save you > $500. The one out there now expires today (!). I don't know how often they are up there.

example from my dealer site:

Out of curiosity for those removing the standard S center exhaust - where do the vacuum leads connect to on the engine (ie the other end than the connection to the exhaust) and could I connect the vacuum leads to a base 3.4L engine?

I tried asking a few dealerships and they had no idea.

Also, if you are asking during your install - would you mind asking if the PSE switch wiring is also there standard for a base 3.4L engine.

Thx.
