Default Black Chrome PSE - When?

Does anyone know of when the Porsche Sport Exhaust will be available in black chrome for the 991.2 Carerra S? My order is locking in October but the option doesn't show up on the website yet...although it is available for 718, Macan, etc.

Whole exhaust. Hoping to not have any chrome/stainless color visible as I looked into one aftermarket black tips (forget the manufacturer...one of the more well known ones) but a little stainless was still visible.

Silly question. Why would you want an entire black chrome exhaust.? What's the benefit other than knowing it's black under the car.
There are more efficient materials for weight and sound, Iconel, I'm a bit baffled. Unless you just have money to burn.

Good idea but was hoping it'd be ready right at delivery, thus the OEM option.

Not sure if the OEM one is entirely black underneath or just the tailpipes (edit, looks like just the visible tails), but the point of the question was since the 718, Macan, etc. already have the option for PSE in both silver and black finishes at the same price, wondering if anyone knew when it would become available for the 911.2S. I've already ticked off the box for PSE but if its available in black as in the photo at the same price, I'd go that route.

Well, not "just" powder coated, but ceramic powder coated.

If your order is almost ready to lock, don't skip the PSE waiting for after delivery and doing Tequipment. That's going to be very-very expensive now with the 991.2 and it's turbo plumbing and rear facia requirements.

Just get your exhaust tips (if they are removable) coated like I did from CCP Coatings in Detriot, they can go the whole exhaust system, just depends how much you want to remove & ship:

But I believe the option you are referring to is the tips only not the full exhaust. No need to have a full blacked out exhaust.

+1 what we need to do is to get our hands on the .2 PET and do a part # comparison of the .1 std wing with the .2 p/n, if they are the same (or the
mounting h/w is the same) then I can be pretty certain that this new SD part
will fit on a .1

Check out the Fabspeed carbon fiber tips for the .2 PSE. They're a little larger in diameter than OEM and go well with the black (plastic) lower bumper trim. I spoke with them and they offered to one-off a set of black, metal tips for around $800. I bought the CF tips for $450 (10% off deal for Rennlist at the time) and am very happy with the quality and look. Here's a couple pics:

Yep! Times counting down hopefully will be available soon as from the photo looks like its already been done from the factory.
