    Retro-fitted PSE - Pros/Cons

    Hi guys, what are the pros/cons of having the PSE retro-fitted on the new FL? I have a choice of an Oct build with-out, or waiting longer to have it factory fitted. Thanks!

    i cant imagine there is any cons apart from it may cost more or you may decide you like the exhaust note on the new FL......

    I am in the same situation as you - collect mine in a week but couldnt have PSE.

    same here..I will retrofit the PSE when available.
    There is absolutly no problem with that, only that you have some extra costs ( the time it take to put it on)

    When you switch the PSE on (by the dedicated switch or through Sport Chrono if the car is so equiped) is it immediately audible, or above certain revs or speed?

    I don't see any difference whatsover except for the extra cost of the retrofit vs factory option.

    Does the retro fit include a switch with full functionality?

    I've had two dealers offer to retro-fit PSE to a FL, when it becomes available, for the same price as buying it as an optional extra.....i.e. no labour charges.
