PSE after purchase...........
Can you order the PSE from your dealer if I already have my 997 but the PSE was not one of my options.Any idea of cost and how long it takes.Opinions appreciated if it would be a good move.

Yes. You can get it on ebay or direct (from Brandywine Porsche, Suncoast Porsche, both dealers) for $1,650-1,700. Installation without the on-off switch should be no more than $200 (or DIY); if you install the on-off switch, the labor cost is quite a bit more (and varies whether or not you have sport chrono). Very well worth it!!!!

I installed it after a couple of thousand miles. I have sport chrono and left the on/off switch out. It is in PSE mode all the time. It really does get substantially louder after a few more thousand miles. I constantly get compliments on the sound of the car.
It is well worth it.

when you get the 2006 "S" you do not get a switch to shut it on or off anymore. I got it on my 06 S and it is on all the time. Much louder though when the sport mode is on. Love it when you put sport on and push to red line. Beautiful sound.

On an '06 997 S with a factory PSE there is a separate switch to control the PSE if you do not have Sport Chrono Plus. If you have SCP the Sport mode switch also controls the PSE. In addition the DME will automatically override the switch and put the PSE in and out of quiet mode based on vehicle speed.

Even if you need the on and off flexibility I would still remove the cutout that occurs at certain RPM ranges even when in on mode. I believe this cut out was due to European noise ordinances?
