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.

Pulled the trigger. $4K for the AWS system installed with the PSE conversion. Quoted at 8 hours, but they believe they can do it in 5. Also getting the TechArt springs installed at the same time!

Actually, I am "very surprised" by this. Why wouldn't I be, since I had already stated that I didn't think it would be there. Obviously, I was wrong.
That original statement was based on the fact and when the dealer installed PSE on my 997.2, they had to run the wire for the PSE. Porsche does not have a history of spending money by putting something on a car when it was not ordered on a car, which is what made me think it would not be there. So my assumption was incorrect and I acknowledged to Chuck that information was good to know for future reference.

2. More. Days. dealing with this "awful" stock S exhaust note ;-) Congrats on the AWE system. You will be pleased I think. I'm glad you are getting the button. Be ready for some serious authority when the button is in "loud". Was just a bit much for me, but I can definitely understand the appeal. In "quiet" it's an awesome sound, and absolutely livable everyday.

BTW, I've been meaning to ask.... do your close friends call you "one-twenty-two" or "five-fifty-four?"

I figured you were "messing" with me, but just in case that was a serious question I decided to at least give you my reasons why I didn't think the wiring would be there.

I just dropped if my 2014 991 C2S to have the upgrade done. While it sounds great in the car - for those outside - it's a pretty raucous note. Insanely loud from outside the car under power.
