Many of us chose to install an ashtray switch instead of using the Sport Chrono button, as we didn't want to necessarily be in sport mode just to be in loud mode. Plus, I expect adding the ashtray switch is easier then dealing with wiring to the DME or adding the PSE switch on the center stack for cars with no Sport Chrono.

I concur..had an AWE exhaust in my old 05 Carrera and it was nice but so far the PSE in my 09 is very nicer and I do like the ability to tone it down if needed. Car didn't come with PSE and had it installed at the dealer at purchase. It cost quite a bit to rewire the car..but otherwise I am satisfied.
Same here; I got a very nice discount on my 09 PSE as well from the dealer otherwise I would have went probably went with aftermarket as well.

I think the 997.2 PSE tips look really nice.
But of course "the grass is always greener."

Alex,

If you want, when I get back to town, we can get together and I can show you my PSE with ashtray switch install. You can see and hear for yourself, and I can walk you through what you need to know if you are planning on doing it yourself.

alexb76

Absolutely. PM me when you're back, gotto get to know more of the local folks!

Not a put down, but the sounds on this video are one of the big reasons why I went with AM cats and cans.

alexb76

And what's WRONG with the sound in the video?

djlod

To each his own.
I went PSE because it's OEM.

tejoe

Absolutely nothing! That's why I said " not a put down.."

Gundo

$800 (including tips) is a fair price. Make sure there are no broken welds or cracks, which are common in the early production run of PSE.

Problem is, for all the fancy switching that is relatively useless, you pay a large weight penalty. PSE cans weight at least 30lbs each, stock are 21 lbs, and AWE, GMG and Fabspeed are significantly lighter (say 15lbs)

I too would suggest a simple gundo hack to your existing mufflers.
