991.2 PSE: do you folks really like this?

Im not a huge fan of the PSE, nor the overruns... the whole system produces manufactured noises. Now before I get flamed, that's just my opinion.
The monolithic header design produces a muffled exhaust note that the PSE just exaggerates further. Swapping to an equal length header like on the Kline system really changes the exhaust note and pulses. I am going to try the headers with some sport cats and see how the PSE sounds after.

Klines offering has equal length runners as well.

Some are poor, some are good - nothing wrong with the Porsche set up, its not restrictive.
Kline wont post their dyno results - why?
FWIW, I asked in their thread and they didn't respond with before and after dyno plots.

Meh. PSE or not does not matter much to me. And the idea of a truly "significant" exhaust note does not really appeal any more. In younger days I had headers and minimal exhaust on street cars and open pipes on race cars. Now I just like fast. I guess when I stop liking fast you can put me in the home.
This about covers it for me. I don't want my car to fart, or have huge wings......... Don' t crave the boy racer look or sound any longer, in fact I crack up at people that drive in traffic and rev their cars to the moon just to let everybody else "enjoy" the sound. If I'm at the track, completely different story, in traffic and public, I like to act my age....then again maybe I'm just a grumpy old man.....
edit: failed to point it out, but I'm sure you can tell, my car is not equipped with PSE.

overall , I enjoy the 991 era ECU-programmed crackles and burbles on higher rpm held-gear overruns , but the between-gears UPSHIFTING farting in crawling-speed stop and go traffic in the first video is rather " coffee cans on a Honda Civic " , imo
also , is the squealing turbo spool-up really that audible at every gentle throttle tip-in ( as heard between 1:15-1:45 ) in real life w windows down ?
