In specializing in Porsche sound and performance for near 25 years, Fabspeed is well-known and respected across the Porsche community. In the event you sell the car there would be little effect on the resale value, if not a little bit more enticing to the buyer who wants a valvetronic option on the car anyway haha.
Showing a used PSE exhaust and a new Fabspeed one? I've seen used pics of yours, and would say the PSE "ages" better. As far as exhaust tips, I've never seen any that are the quality of the OEM ones.
Not knocking your exhaust, but any aftermarket changes to a Porsche are almost always a negative at resale. I'd say 99% of the time. You could say, keep your original parts and convert back to OEM if you desire at resale.

I believe that would all depend on what kind of buyer you are looking for. There is a much larger percentage than 1% of petrolheads out there that would see an upgraded exhaust as a positive and something they won't have to spend additional money on down the line.

Local Porsche Service Dept told me today that dealer PSE installs on 991.2 models not PSE factory equipped would not be available for another 6 months and the system (parts only) would be over $3300. Does anyone have any additional (or contrary info) on this? Thanks!

Pricing? I just had PSE console control/switch and vacuum lines retrofitted to my car to control the Akra Ti system and parts were about $600 (used the parts list from 6speed and circulating on Rennlist) and then labor was another 6.5-8.0hr at the normal Porsche labor rate (I was able to negotiate a PCA discount applied to both labor and parts which helped). Good luck.

What did you guys pay for install?
Suncoast is shipping my PSE. Should arrive late next week.
My rig is a c4s.
Dealer and indy (says they can reprogram centre console switch) shop have quoted $850
Other dealer in town is at $750.
If it's pretty much plug and play isn't that kinda high?

On the S, the tips on cars with PSE and without PSE are the same, or am I wrong?

Go for it...mine cost about $950+tax to do (labor and install). Only difference was i had them swap in an Akrapovic exhaust instead of buying and going with the PSE. Same mechanically but much better sound, look, and weight savings as well as investment value!
