Hi guys,
Im in the UK, got a set of PSE fitted to my Carrera.
They are pretty loud (relay de-activated), but a bit quiet on the lower rev range.
How can I increase sound, chaning the cats to sport cats? maybe new headers?
Any suggestions? will these make a difference?
Thanks and Merry Xmas.

Be careful on changing the cats. Did that last year, put the Dansk in and took them out 2 days later. They were too loud for street use. I guess if you are going to dedicate your car to track use the cats are definitely a good choice. I also replaced the exhaust with BillyBoat? Indeed, the exhaust note is very pleasing, although, if you are a spectator they sound far more awesome. I have a set of cats worth about $1500 sitting in my garage.

Hi Rhonda,
Thank you for your response.
Great advice. Okay I have an intake system on its way, will try this first (next month).
May go with the headers, what do you recommend from your range?

I assume that for the PSE, you did not connect the wire that quiets the exhaust at lower speeds (the switch would still seem to work, but would be over-ridden by the logic circuit).

put a switch between the speed sensor (pink/gry wire) and the relay... you can have both auto on/off or manual on/off at the flick of a switch.

I have already had this feature disabled.
When PSE is on it is heard throughout the rev range at any speed.
When off it is silent/stock.
I will fit the new intake, see how it goes, may go for a set of replacement manifolds as well.
Just want to make it sound more lively at lower RPM.

I just put a set of those on my car. The fit is great and I love the way it sounds! It's loud though!!!

Glad to here you have an intake on the way. Let me know how that works out. If you still need more I have 2 sets of headers available.
The first are Dansk headers, part # 96.280S which retail for $ 790.00. They are T304 Stainless, are equal length and have a merge collector. 8-10 lb. ft or torque gain. In stock.
The second are FVD headers, part # 210 111 996 36 which retail for $1,556.00. They are T316 Stainless, are equal length with a merge collector but have larger port openings on the flange that meet the engine block. This accounts for greater torque. 12-16 lb. ft torque gain. In stock.
Both will give you a slightly deeper exhaust note.
Thanks!
Rhonda
