i still dont get why would someone pay $5000 for an exhaust with sound only! and you can get with the same money one with sound and power ( the extra Hp)!
why go for porsche then? i'd personally go for a gemballa or AWE. It makes more sense or am i missing something ?

7)With PSE you have the option of turning it on or off with the Sport button. For me this is a huge plus. I've recently re-connected the hose so that I can put PSE on when I want to but can also leave it off like I did on the way in to work this morning because I took a co-worker in that needed a ride and wanted the car quiet so we could discuss buisness.

Stradale,
I also liked the possibility to switch between on and off mode with my 996, especially on long motorway trips where after a while, it is much nicer to enjoy a good CD without that permanent drone in the background, granted it's not THAT loud, but the tech allows you to have it off at will so might as well.
Having said that, I presume you now have the cut off when your PSE is ON, thing that I didn't have in the 996.
Seems more complex in the 997 as it is DME dependant now.
My question is, what's your opinion about the cut off?
Is it a pain or is it perfectly fine?
As you have had enough experience with the PSE on all the time, I figured your opinion would be useful.
Thanks.

read my post earlier in this thread, jeez am i the invisible man or something? i just told you how to turn it on and off without the cutoff disconnect the parts that link to the speedometer and the PSE will be on all the time when the sport mode is on

Is this a procedure that one can do himself, or does it need to be done by a Porsche Mechanic?
Thanks.

Mike,
Just saw red's posts on the loudness thread. Did you see this part ?
"I talked to the dealership today and they said the speedo disconnect will NOT work if you have the sport chrono package. If you don't, it WILL work. Unfortunately, I also have the sport chrono package. However, they did suggest that rather than disconnect the hose and have it in PSE mode all the time they could fabricate a small on-off value that would allow me to turn it on and off via the value. I am go with this since it would be much easier than connecting and disconnecting the rubber feed line. Plus you don't have to contend with plugging the two holes and then somehow securing the line."

I test drove a 997S yesterday that was fitted with the PSE. It seemed to me that when I turned on the sport mode at any speed that you could here the change in the sound of the exhaust.
