Re: Owners of 997 S with PSE!
heja sverige! 
the helmholtz resonator is not removed when PSE is installed on the car, thus you can still hear the intake sound when PSE is on/off. although some people on this forum, mainly some moderator, claims that is not the case
i would recommend you to book a test drive and try for yourself. it is pretty hard to describe the sound with words. if you hesitate between ordering PSE or not, i strongly recommend you to get PSE. from my point of view, it adds so much to the driving experience i could not be without it.

Re: Owners of 997 S with PSE!
I was told today by a Porsche service engineer that it didn't do anything to the (glorious) resonator. I asked him how much it was to retro-fit the PSE and he said 2500 GBP, or if i kept the same exhaust pipes then 2100.
PSE was on my original new car spec, but I ended up getting a used car with 2000 miles on the clock (so almost new and no wait), with no PSE. So I'd love to retro-fit.
Saying that, my only concern is that I rarely use Sports Mode on public roads, and PSE is tied into the Sports button. I KNOW there is a KBA on making this permanent (ie. always on), but at the same time I like having a quiet mode for coming home through highly residential areas. So either I have to use sport mode more (which in the wet/cold is no so safe on public roads), or have a 24/7 loud car. Hmmmmm....
