I will be doing this mod on my car this spring, I was just a bit concerned about long term reliability. Do you think those welds will rust and break, have any of you guys heard/had any problems with that?

It's just a weld on a stainless pipe, not titanium. A competent welder would do fine. I had mine TIG welded since it's SS. It's no different than welding a regular pipe for a Honda... they're all made of metal, Porsche or not.

Do the "real" PSE give a hp increase even if not substantial? If it does, I suppose the increase is not due to the air flow created by this 2" pipe mod but rather something different internally within the mufflers. Wouldn't that suggest the PSE is not really the same as a modded exhaust as some claim? Please excuse my lack of knowledge in this area and thanks for educating me.

For any exhaust system, there is very few hp that can be had since most factory setups are efficient already. If the Porsche Sport Exhaust didn't have the P word, would it still have hp increase?

It is a big difference with them "off" vs. "on", but I do love to hear that flat 6 sing!!
