I had been following the thread on whether PSE mods damage the PSE. Not sure if it does or not, still waiting for some more info or conclusive proof that mods are not a good thing to do. So, right now I have everything stock. However, I did temporarily disconnect the electric plug. The car, of course sounds great always on. In fact, is it just me or is it actually much louder doing the mod than when you just press the sport button without the mod (not taking the cutout into consideration). Even when the stock condition is not in the cut out period, its not as loud as when the mod is in effect. Would love to hear the reason Porsche put that cut-out into effect because the always on sounds 100% better.
