Default Exhaust tips on dealer installed PSE

If a dealer installs PSE, does it come with different tips from stock S exhaust? If so, do you get the X54 stainless tips or something else? I am wondering if I buy a car with the X54 stainless tips option and later get PSE would I be throwing the money away for the option in the first place?

Sorry guys, I just answered my own question by calling Suncoast Porsche parts. Apparently the exhaust just uses whatever OEM tips are on the car.

For those of you who wasted your time by clicking on my question, I'll let you know that Suncoast Porsche has all of the parts on their website at 10% off for the next two days, according to the guy who answered the phone.

The Porsche Sport Exhaust (PSE) comes w/ special chromed plated tips. They are not the 'standard' OEM exhaust tip. They are true dual tips; not the faux tips on a standard 'S' exhuast.

Check again w/ Suncoast; they must be selling some sort of 'non-standard' PSE.

Marty,
PSE comes with the tips i think... it has 4 real exhaust pipes rather then the fake quad tips on the S
You need to be able to hook up to all the 4 pipes

I thought I remembered reading that - which I guess is what prompted my question in the first place. I would have expected I would get the right answer from Suncoast, but apparently not. Sooo, if I buy a car that has the X54 option stainless tips, they will have to come off when PSE is installed and will have no use other than on Ebay? I appreciate the feedback - if someone else could confirm this and/or provide pics of the PSE quad tips I would be most appreciative.

The PSE comes with its own tips - they are chromed.
Excuse the poor quality photo, but you can see there are two separate pipes in each tip...unlike the stock S tips.
And the pipes are of different diameters - one large, one smaller.

Thanks Leader - that makes it quite clear. What the hell was the guy at Suncoast thinking?

Agree with Leader, as I've been shopping for a new 997S (with and without PSE). The PSE tips are as pictured in Leader's post. The X54 option tips will NOT fit the PSE.

+1 Yes, the X54 option is useless with the PSE system. The X54 will not bolt to the PSE.

PSE can each is $693.90 dual outlet

The chrome tail pipes each I believe is $170.53 dual outlet

The wiring I believe is $120.00

I did not install the wiring, so the PSE system is open all the time. Sweet!
