Remember how the old 911 air cooled engines sounded? You could run it up and it would backfire and belch flame when you shifted.
Well, anyway I just posted a video of my 997.... I have a hat with a video camera on it, so if you'd like to compare the INside sound of my resonators at 150mph.... go here!
It's a short download and it's worth it to go for the ride... keep your mouse pointed on "pause" while you're watching it so you can see the speedo when I glance down at it. I verbally said "90mph through the "S's" ... but if you pause on the speedo glance in the middle of the S turn, you'll see it is actually 94mph. I wonder what that sounded like from outside? Here's the link.

P.S. Please, no lectures about doing this on a public road. I get enough of that from my wife! I even short shifted into 6th.... that's safe!
Plus, I have every light in the front of the car on and I flash my lights at oncoming traffic.

I just got my FVD GT 997 S full exhaust system instaled and it sounds amazing ....!!
I have personaly hear Tubi, Fabspeed, GHL , B&B, Enko.
This system is not for the weak hearted its i a notch below a gt race car sound
it is one piece from the headers to the tips.
It idles like a monster with a deep growl.... in my opinion thats how every porsche should idle
and at high rpm this thing screams.. I no longer use my stereo on the car.
If some tells me how to post video or sound i ll be glad to show the group.
thanks

But, out of everything you saw and heard, you just had to pick on me for that mistake. Ok, "This PASM button stiffens the suspension and improves throttle response". That ok?

Hello,
I've researched and read many threads on how people just absolutely loved their PSE option.
I'm curious if there are anyone out there that didn't think the PSE lived up to the hype after the install. Or didn't think it was worth the money
Also, does the PSE sound better than the current 997tt exhaust?

I heard it. It sounds ok. Button does not mean anything to me since I would do the all the time on mod. It is heavier (A BİG NOOOOO in my book) , no power gains (WHATS THE POINT), costs a fortune.
If I pay that money, it better deliver and other than sound it does not. I do not own one but heard it on 3 different Carreras.

I heard PSE at Reeves in Tampa and then went and bought Fabspeed. Don't get me wrong...PSE sounds nice but I liked the Fabspeed at full song better.
