I am spending the Xtra $$ to have the Switch installed so that I can turn off the PSE if needed. My friends think that this sounds like a Gimmick, that you can not shut down the sound of an exhaust. I guess I just don't understand how it works. When the PSE is deactivated, is it as quiet as a stock exhaust? I know this is really basic stuff to some of you, sorry for the ignorance.

PSE deactivated is louder than stock. PSE activated is significantly louder than stock. The button activates a valve 'flap' that increases the sound.

with pse off i did not notice it being louder than before i had pse

We test drove a 997 C2S with stock exhaust, and then and went and listened to one with PSE. It seemed louder even when off, but it could have been since it was indoors (service area).

I have PSE on my Sport Chrono-equipped C4S. In "sport" mode, the exhaust is markedly louder inside the car, and dramatically louder outside.

When you turn off the switch, the vacuum operated bypass baffles close and route 100% of the exhaust gas through the mufflers.

Yes, it works. Tell your friends not to doubt German engineers. <g>

Buy it, Santa Monica. You'll love it!

I promise, you'll be grinning like the Cheshire Cat. It's the perfect level of "zoom" for me - not too loud, but very "authoritative" - get on it with the PSE active, and I promise you'll turn heads. Turn it off, and you'll squeek by un-noticed.

Best of both worlds? IMHO.

My buddy Brian with the Tubi on his F355 would disagree, but I'm older and more conservative than he is...

Taotally with you, sometimes I like to hear it and sometimes I like to go "subterranian" so it's the best of both worlds. NO EXHAUST SYSTEM WILL MAKE ANY KIND OF POWER WITHOUT OTHER EXTENSIVE, EXPENSIVE MODS.

This is not to dis guys who like louder systems but I enjoy the switch and dont need it any louder anyy time.
