PSE Operation...
I just had PSE added to our '06 997. We don't have the sport chrono so they had to add the switch.
My question is that it appears that the PSE comes "on" (louder) when the switch light is lit which for some reason seems to be opposite of all the other switch charactoristics...Was looking for someone to tell me how their switch operates.
Finally, it appears that other than the "always on" hack, there doesn't appear to be a hack to override the speed shutoff (the 996 mod won't work on the 997)? I would like it on but my wife likes the ability to shut it off so the "always on" hack won't work...
Thanks for helping!

Any other 997'rs out there that can share how theirs works?
Thanks!

Light on = loud
Light off = quiet (stealth)
Foot to the floor = chills up my spine either way!!

I have a copy of the Tech. info. installation manual.
The light on the switch depends on the model year .
For '05 , and cars without chrono ( exh.pipe symbol on switch ) the switch light is ON when activating the ignition ( quiet ) mode and goes OUT when PSE is activated.
For '06 , it's the reverse. The light goes ON when PSE is activated.
For '05 and '06 cars with chrono ( sport ) switch , the diode lights up when "sport" mode ( and PSE)
is activated .

My PSE-equipped 06 C2S (no chrono) operates in loud mode with light off and normal with light on. As an aside, I finally disconnected the PSE cable in the engine compartment and fell in love with the car all over again. I won't be reconnecting the cable anytime soon as the exhaust note throughout the entire rev range sounds so f'in awesome.

Thanks...
Thanks to all who replied...Seems that with PSE online (not sport), default is light off/quiet mode and light on equals load mode.
Too bad that the 996 relay hack won't work on the 997 as I'd love to be able to override the speed constraint. I know I could run a seperate wire/switch that would essentially disable the PSE (full time enable of LOUD) but frankly, I'm a little hesitant to start tearing things apart to run the wire and switch and such. Ah well...

I have an '05 997 S and my light ( dual exh. pipe switch ) is normally on and goes out when I switch on PSE.
I installed a switch in the wire controlling the solenoid valve and installed it in the center console ashtray .
In one position the system operates per factory design, in the other PSE is always ON. It works great .
