my 991 C4S came without the PSE and looking to get an exhaust that is a little louder! What are peoples thoughts who have installed the Shark Werks exhaust ? or should i just have the PSE installed?

SW is a great product, but you should realize that unlike a PSE based system it has only one mode/loudness ... so you should make sure that this suits your driving style and aural preference...

ya i do realize it! what I'm wanting to know from people who have heard both the PSE and SW! i can watch all the videos but its just hard to judge !

hopefully someone has heard both and can comment.

I have one on my base c2 and like it. It's louder than stock, but not super loud. No drone. Price is a bit lower than competing systems. It's a pretty simple setup, and seems to be good quality. I installed it myself, and it wasn't difficult.

I'm in the DC area. Best bet is to try and find one nearby to listen to.

Sound is great. Had SharkWerks and AWE. I would say stock, AWE then SharkWerks in terms of loudness. It's not too loud tho.

Chio4, I have the same car, a 2013 C4s w/o PSE. My previous car was a 2010 C2s w/o PSE. I installed the CM bypass on that car and loved it. I went with the side muffler delete (SharkWerks Race exhaust) on my 991 for two reasons: 1) the 991s and 4s cars have a factory vacuum operated valve system in the center muffler and I wanted to retain that. 2) The race exhaust is a bit louder (deeper for sure) and reduces more weight than the cm system and lowers the heat near the rear wheels. I have a cab and there is a slight droan at slow speed around 3k rpm but at higher speeds (actual and engine) it is gone. Gurgles and pops are accentuated. I am happy with my choice and would do it again. PSE is nice but pricey with no weight loss and questionable performance gains. I do like the tips so I purchased the chrome S tips on eBay. I will add that my friend has a '13 C4s coupe with PSE and side by side engine revs are very similar, w the SW side muff delete being slightly deeper. I wish I had recorded it with my phone. Good luck with your decision, Hope this helps.

WOW never thought about this option but the drone would drive my hearing crazy!!

I've got this on mine and love it. Not too loud but it carries a rumble. Similar to the PSE.
