What cracks me up is the variation in hours quoted among dealers. I heard everything from 5 to 12 hours when I called around. And the dealer that did the work completed it in 4 hours. If a dealer is quoting 10 hours for the work, they're ripping you off.

I too live in southern California and am considering adding PSE to my '15 C4S. Which dealership gave you that seemingly high quote? I would like to avoid that one.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am aware, which is why I want it. I previously owned a 2013 CS4 that had factory PSE and I kept it on almost all the time. From all the threads, and after a discussion today with my Porsche service advisor, it appears that the dealer installed PSE will function identically to the factory installed one.

Of course it will 100%
In my opinion, the perfect NA soundtrack.

Hey, 991C4, just a pedantic note, if you care. I believe that PSE stands for Porsche Sports Exhaust, just like every one of the silly acronyms start with P and that stands for Porsche. Porsche Communications Module, Porsche Stability Module, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control, PASM, PSIP, blah, blah, blah.

That obviously led to the "where in the hell is my PSE button" conversation, which led to them ordering it and setting up a second visit.
After the second visit, yes....works perfectly like the factory installed one.
Other than the pain in the a$$ need for the extra visit, I think it worked to my advantage, as he didn't charge me labor to install the center console button assembly. I think my total outlay was just under $2,900.
Totally transformed the car though....a must have option in my opinion.

for future reference, and as to the question pertaining to (higher) installation costs on a Base model that also includes installing the exhaust button in the center console, the reason for the higher cost can be due to both the hourly labor cost (los angeles dealerships = $110/hr-$120/hr), longer install time on a Base, coupled with the removal of the front seat(s) for the purpose of installing the wiring/sport button in the center console. or said another way, $1,000-$1,500 for PSE installation is not out of the question in these parts.

And all those "P's" I got on my options list cost a pretty $!
