Re: 997S First contact -pics
Thanks a lot guys you are very kind 
I'll be heading today for the same mountain road I was with the bike a couple of weeks ago and will work on the report, and brake the tires and brakes in.
Interestingly in my manual it doesn't mention any 4000RPM limit during break in, its just says to avoid high rpm's especially when engine is cold
cartouge, havent tried the mp3 compatibility yet, but I will today.
Danny G, I'm going to wait till a while until other people get them and see their impressions, I don't want any posible wind noises at high speed, etc.

Re: 997S First contact -pics
what i dont like in the PSE is that the inner exhausts are not alligned with the outer but instead the beggin from the higher point of the outter ones.it would be better to be alligned in the center (in terms of height) with the outer ones.
Or better to beggin at the BOTTOM of the outer exhausts!
like if you turned the whole exhaust system upside down...
Dunno but in this way it looks like they are crying....
But Carlos, tell us your opinion for the looks of the PSE, now that you have it live

Re: 997S First contact -pics
Thanks a lot guys 
Dilinger, once I saw it live it made sense, at least to me. The way the two diff diameter tips are placed blands and excentuates the shape of the rear when looked at from behind. I don't know how to explain it with words but one of the best looking aspects of the rear of the 997 is the stance it has from behind following a sort of arch shape, like a raimbow shape. The exhaust tips add to that shape by creating one on the underside of the car. I really wish I could explain better, or maybe its just me, maybe to some one else it doesn't give that appearance.

Quick question for you Carlos: are you glad you got the PSE, in the short time you've driven the car so far?
Yes, 100%.
Even if the 45-85km/h cutoff couldn't be removed I would still get it, it sounds that great. Maybe if I hadn't heard it I would not want it so much, but once you hear it and you have that new reference, you have to have it. Today was a delight in the mountain twisties

Re: 997S First contact -pics
Its not a sudden inmediate cut-off, its a bit gradual so its not that apparent, but you notice that the exhaust goes quieter under acceleration when you are wanting to hear the enginge growl, or sometimes you pick up the throttle somewhat hard and there is no growl until the speed climbs further.
I wouldn't mind havin't it on all the time, but in the city it calls some attention which I don't like, so if the switch is there I may disable it sometimes, but if there is no switch its not that big deal, but its handy to have.
Inside the cabin the sound is not bothersome at all like other exhausts that sort of resonnate or are just plain loud with no nice sound, they get tiresome, but the PSE always sounds nice and when it has to sound, not so much at constat throttle driving.

Re: 997S First contact -pics
The cutoff bothered me at the beginning. But there will be a solution sooner or later. They opened up my PSE for any speed and will add an additional PSE button later (I have Chrono Sport). It's so much fun with the PSE I have it on all the time. I couldn't imagine not having it. It's about half the fun.

Grats Carlos. Great combination, the lower suspension with a black 997. If you lived in London I could share my car wash vouchers with you 
The guys at the "soft" car wash service station don't even ask anymore what I want. They just grin and bill the usual wash program.
