Sport Chrono is far and away the one option I would never skip... The sport exhaust to me just adds to this whole experience of a sports car... It isnt a crazy loud system, but it gives a deeper and more burble base sound that is better to listen to than any Bose system (personal opinion as someone who prefers the sound of the engine to music)

yeah and from what people have said on this forum and on videos is that the 911 and Cayman are rather load to begin with anyway so how clearly would I hear the music? That being said I wanted to get a sports car to hear the noise if the engine and exhaust so I think I can skip the stereo. Thanks again for the input!!

I have two 992. First one had SC and SS but base sound. Second one SC and Bose because once you have SS you realize it’s really not much louder than regular exhaust. It’s truly a waste of money for me. SC is a must. I also got inno drive because I like the safety features eg emergency braking.

I have the Bose but the road noise, car etc doesn’t really let you appreciate it. I would get the basic system and be done with it.

PSE apparently closes the valves between 1500-4000rpm even if PSE is turned on, hence the common impression that it’s different but not better than the standard exhaust. This was most likely done to pass governmental noise regulations. The M-Engineering tune removes the PSE restrictions to give it true ON/OFF functionality.

I just remembered, if you are picking up your car in Germany and will drive to Amsterdam you can easily pass by my city and go to Clanck to change your sound system if you want it. By that time mine will be done and comparing the base with the upgrade and the price. Usually the car can be ready in 1 day. Especially when we plan it all. But I am sure you can find a company in USA as well. Just thinking of this.

Why compromise on such a special purchase. If $1600 throws your finances off, then perhaps you should take a harder look at this purchase.

I agree but I also understand where he is coming from. If it was me I would ditch the PSE and go with the Quad Tips, then get PSE programmed.

Ha...yeah, I get it. This is very true when the car is already a fair amount of money what is another $1600?

From what I have read on here, yes. My plan is go this route then get the M-Engineering tune to to open the valves fully.

Anyone know if someone makes a simple plug and play sub for the base system? Not looking for much, just to fill in the low end a bit. Sounds like adding a Bose sub is out of the question.
