I am about to buy a very nice 997S with lots of options, including PSE (according to the seller and the ad). My concern is that by looking at the pictures in the ad (attached), the tailpipes look both similar in diameter, versus what I have seen in the Porsche Website and in some other posts, where cars with PSE have each dual tailpipe with 2 different diameters (I believe the one to the outside is bigger, the one inside is a little bit smaller). Am I missing anything here?

Thanks for your help!

 

PSE would have smaller pipes on the inside. That doesn't look like PSE to me.

 

You cannot tell if the car has PSE by the tailpipes as all tailpipes for a particular year are interchangable. You'll have to crawl under the car to take a look at the mufflers.

 

You can tell real quick by turning the crank on the car and hitting the sport button. You'll hear it right away.

But from looking at that, it looks like it does NOT have PSE. 1999Porsche911, the stock 997S tips are not interchangeable with the PSE tips. The stock tips are y-units...the PSE tips are actually two tips for two pipes per side.

 

the seller might have mean't PSM when he was copying the list....

 

Ask to see the maintenance booklet. All the option codes for the vehicle will be shown on page 1.

 

Thanks Speed!...and by any chance does anyone know the option code for PSE?

 

Option XLF Sports Exhaust

 

End of the Story: the first owner install PSE after delivery...but he removed it before selling the car...so I guess the car is prewired for PSE but it doesn't have the actual exhaust

 

correct. I took it off the car prior to selling it. The dealer who sold the car (jack daniels) made the reseller fully aware of this. Jason from Jack Daniels is calling them about it now. The PSE and the Aluminuim console are sitting in the back of my truck.

Just for giggles how much is the dealer selling the car for.

 

it does have a short shifter in it that no ones knows about....

 

an a very custom 3m kit, I did the front nose, the mirrors, wheel arches, and some other bits and pieces.
