    Thanks again Bill. After reading all that, I'm thinking I'll just install the mufflers. I hit the sport button as soon as I start the car anyway.


    Elfer04:
    Why don't you install the mufflers yourself and save the installation cost. If you put the car up on ramps, there are three nuts to remove each side that hold the mufflers on to the engine. The clamps that attach the muffler inlets to the upstream pipes under the rear bumper need to be loosened and removed - new ones are in the PSE kit.

    The new mufflers use the mounting brackets off the stock mufflers. They readily unbolt and can then be bolted onto the new mufflers.

    I would have done this myself, but I recently had surgery and cannot lift anything heavy. Also I wanted to have the complete installation, even though I knew I would bypass the fancy vacuum and electrical bits.

    I had PSE installed at Rusnak Westlake yesterday. I left my car at 7:30 AM and picked it up completed and washed at 4:30 PM. Installation labor cost was $805, as quoted. Time shown on paperwork indicated 7 hours.

    My 997S has Sport Chrono package, so no additional switch was required. They installed mufflers, the electric change-over valve, vacuum lines and connection to DME behind rear seat.

    Applied the "RC fix" when I got home. Sounds way better when ON full-time. I can always switch back to the designed operation with the "Sport" button, should I tire of hearing the sound of the PSE. Seems unlikely at the moment.



    Thanks for the info. I'm going with Rusnak, Westlake Village to do the PSE. I'm also installing the sport shifter.

    You will really enjoy both of these additions to your car.

    downtown porsche quoted me $5k for it.. too much...
    also, I want to make sure the job is done right.. anything that would mess up the flow of air out of the exhaust could affect performance (ie bad weld job)... hopefully is all bolt on.. does anyone know?



    Adam,
    Ruznak Porsche, Westlake Village, suggested also to install the PSE without the switch/electronics work. The only problem with this is that you will never be able to turn off the PSE. But the installation is a lot simpler. And the cost for installation is a lot cheaper. You might want to consider that.

    Re: Anybody doing the PSE retrofit w/ Newport Auto Center?

    Seven more days until I get the PSE & Sport Shifter. I can't wait!!!!!

    Re: Anybody doing the PSE retrofit w/ Newport Auto Center?

    Here's a picture of my new PSE!!!

    Re: Anybody doing the PSE retrofit w/ Newport Auto Center?

    and another...

    Re: Anybody doing the PSE retrofit w/ Newport Auto Center?

    That's cool Alan! Congratulations!
    So what are you impressions so far then?

    Re: Anybody doing the PSE retrofit w/ Newport Auto Center?

    Yeah, what do you think of the sound? try the "RC modification"

    Re: Anybody doing the PSE retrofit w/ Newport Auto Center?

    Even without RC's modification, I love the sound! Wow! Anybody even considering it should just get it! It makes the experience of driving a 911 even more enjoyable. Probably my best option on the 911. I will do RC's modification this morning, if I can find some good duct tape to seal the hose to prevent a vacuum loss.

    I also got the short shifter installed. Another great option! I love it. Those two options together have really transformed the 911 into a great driving experience.

    Finally, I had the clear side markers installed. Here's a picture...

    Great to hear tha Alan!
