Adding Sport Exhaust

There's no HP gain, but the sounds itself is well worth the money. I love it so much I had my Lexus done as well. Yes, I know it's a Lexus, but it's still more fun. Does anyone know how to make the PSE default on instead of off when you turn on the ignition?

When adding PSE to a 997.2, they have to install all of the wiring and run the wires from the engine compartment to the lower dash panel. They also have to install the vacuum hoses, each of which must be cut to a specific length from the single length of hose supplied with the PSE.
I toyed with the idea of installing the PSE myself, but after reading all of the install instructions, I decided I would let the "pros" do it. The actual muffler install is pretty straight forward, but the wiring and hose install looked tedious. I opted to pay $900 for the labor, which was worth it to me to get it done correctly.

When I started looking for a Porsche I was looking at used. When I came across one with aftermarket add on's it made me hesitate. I think the factory parts are a better plan because they understand how it effects the fuel system. I also think it is better for resale. I wonder if part of programing it to work involves a change in the fuel management program?

To the doubters of any gains in hp from an aftermarket exhaust, I partially agree. On a naturally aspirated engine, huge gains just aren't going to happen, but I can believe the 10hp gains or so that are claimed by most of aftermarket manufacturers. One look at the stock double muffler system tells me there's room for a small bit of extra flow. On the other hand, I wouldn't expect anything more than that, and would shy away from a product that claimed more.
I don't think the factory PSM makes any hp claims, it's purely for aural aesthetics, and it does have some driver selectable options for its use. If you think it's worth the cost for the better sound, then go for it.
PS to Detroit Shooter, I too am generally unimpressed with non-OEM mods so I wouldn't do anything to my car that wasn't reversible.

+1 on keeping my car "all Porsche", done by the dealer. Here's the tally on my PSE bill for my 991S :
6 hours labor: $750.00
PSE: $2803.98
Switch kit: $198.61
Total: $3553.98
However, I also had an early oil and filter done (2700 miles), and I was given a discount of $335.50 on parts and labor on the entire work order. They even gave my car a minor detailing and cleaned the inside of my wheels which were pretty dirty at the time=no charge
And I do like the PSE very much
