I lift weights and I'm pretty sure that I'm stronger than Phaser. I bet I could take him in arm wresting pretty handily

 

Show me on a dyno the alleged performance bump.

Not there. Improved sound / pronounced turbo whirl but that’s it.

 

My max bench is ~ 275#s, 3reps and I am beet red. Anyone pulling or pushing ~500#s, good for you but how the hell do you fit in a 911???

 

I can't seem to paste the link....but on ************.com, article written 3-29-21 where they compare 200 cell cat dyno gains over stock cats on the Turbo/S. Max gains of 55whp and 59wtq. Granted, it's in the 3.8L motor, but there will be some gains on the 3.0L motor.

 

kurac - link didn’t work. Looks like rennlist zapped the web address

 

^ For what ever reason, RL is not letting me post the website I'm trying to copy from. Porsche Boost. One word.

 

LOL. I'm 5'11" and 215lbs with 36" waist, so fairly lean. That being said, I sat in both the standard Sport and then the Sport Plus seats, and the standard seats were much more comfortable around the shoulders. I didn't feel constrained. The 911 with standard Sport seats feels much more comfortable than my old GT350R with the Recaros.

 

Kurac - saw the dyno on a Turbo, TTS. I’ve not seen a similar comparison on a Carrera S ... the lowly 3.0L

 

I been reading about PSE but I can’t really figure one thing out. So here I am asking… I have a base 991.2 with four exhaust pipes. I am thinking the exhaust sound is lame compared to my previously NA 991.1. I am reading about the PSE but I cannot tell if I have to replace my exhaust or just have the dealer install the PSE. And will the sound be a bit better than what I currently have?

would be grateful to get someone to answer and let me know. Going to Porsche of Arlington to ask is pointless. Sadly they seem not to know much… or maybe I just dealt with two of their mechanics who didn’t know much.
thanks

 

I too struggled with this decision but with the Turbo engines, PSE makes a big difference in the way the vehicle sounds. The standard exhaust sounds good but PSE takes it further and adds more character.

 

Have your dealer activate PSE on your non-PSE 992. I had this done and it is ~80% the sound of a PSE and takes them 2 minutes to do. I posted a few threads on this, and there is instructions on how the dealer can do this. And you keep the quad pipes which I think looks better.

 

Thanks.

 

Even if one does not like/want it, those concerned with resale should have it.

 

Not correct, have had several 991's and 992s - does not hurt the resale as much as some of the other options. Not that it will not help a little, but I do not think it equals what it costs when thinking resale vs other key options people look for (seats, color, PDK or MT, sports chrono, etc.)

 

well my dealer just quoted me $7697.17, part # 991-044-200-30. So I guess they clearly are not talking about the same recommendation I pass otherwise.
