Has anyone seen a good price on PSE recently? I think I'm ready to order and install myself and the places recommended by past threads, like Brandywine Porsche and Sunset, seem to have raised their prices (to $1550 plus shipping and $1800 plus shipping respectively).

Just put mine on last weekend, and I am not sure I am going to keep it. It is alot louder than I thought it would be, like riding my Harley, you get on it and everyone within 2 blocks hears you. Haven't done the electrics yet, I am going to try just wiring the valves shut for a few minutes to see how it sounds. If I decide not to keep it I will make you a good deal. I bought it used, but it is in great shape and it is the later model PSE with the lartger by-pass pipes and the extension for the newer rear end tail pipe locations.

Can I be #2 On this list of buyers?
Thanks,

wire the switch. It sounds pretty much stock when you deactivate PSE. I only turn it off late at night in my neighborhood or if I'm on my cellphone.

If you don't like the sound with the valves shut or just don't want to wire it, I'd be interested for sure.

Defo buy it if at a good price

#1 upgrade for the money by far

I've been driving my car a lot more recently and PSE makes every trip a blast

I actually just got my emissions checked today and as the guy fired it up i got shivers down my spine it sounded so awesome

nothing sounds quite as good as you nail it under an underpass or in a tunnel

I don't have the switch, and under 3000 rpm it doesn't sound that different, in the morning I tiptoe on the throttle so as not to scare the neighbours, 10 am onwards..... well, lets says they get the full Porsche sound reverberating down the street!

I am getting my B & M SSK next week from Vivid (racing not **** studio), and i can't wait

I want to buy a pair of PSE's, but 2K is a little high...anybody knows where we get a good discount?

I paid $1400 for the kit from Sunset. Plus about $25 for the switch, which, believe it or not, is not included in the wiring portion of the kit.

This price, or one close to it, is also occasionally advertised by Brandywine in PA.

The_Phantom

Those were the type of prices I heard last year when it was discussed on this forum but they seemed to have raised the prices this year. Was $1400 that including shipping?

Where do you guys recommend looking for a used set? I've had a saved eBay search mailing me results for a few weeks now, but I'm mostly getting zTek, Boxster exhausts, etc. No PSEs for 911s

No. Shipping from Oregon to Georgia was $50. I did not include it in my post, as it will vary widely depending upon your location.

I had to look up my invoice to answer that question, so I'll give you the exact details:

PSE System:
List: 2090.77
Net: 1400.00

Switch:
List: 26.89
Net: 23.25

I believe Sunset simply uses a set margin over cost (15%?), so, unless Porsche has raised the price, then Sunset probably hasn't.

The simplest thing to do is call / email and ask. They are terrific to work with. All my dealings have been with Jeff.

LVDell

You are correct, Sunset is 15% of cost (or what they refer to as net).

So....$1400 +15% would come to $1610 plus shipping. Not good, but by no means a bad price. I bought mine for $1500 shipped but that was 2 or three years ago.

The_Phantom

Yeah, that's what I thought and that's why I was surprised when they said $1800 plus shipping. Maybe I didn't talk to Jeff when I called.....?

LVDell

That wouldn't have made a difference. Maybe the pricing system has changed (not Sunset but PCNA). You know those prices changes like the market!

LVDell

Kim....then your invoice differs from how they "normally" do it. I have made probably 20+ orders over the years with them and the invoice ALWAYS has the line item number/description, then the retail and net (being dealer cost as they define it) and the LAST line item on your itemized list of items is called "handling charge" which is 15% of the total net. Then shipping on top of that which is at the very bottom of the form. I'd be interested to see that reciept. Did you negotiate something different then?
