    Done the PSE Mode

    Finally I have done the PSE mode which I was thinking of doing for the last 2 months after reading many positive comments about PSE.


    First the closed hole is cut on the stock exhaust. I was told by my exhaust specialist that the interior of the PSE and stock is the same. He had cut both stock and PSE exhaust into pieces in the last month.


    Here is the 2 pieces (1 elbow-1 diagonal cut straight pipe) welded by chromeweld together and finally welded on the exhaust.

    Afterall, the welding points were sprayed by heat resistance mat paint against corrision.

    As for the sound: It is louder with the same sound characteristics. After 5000 rpm, intake sound takes over but between 2000-5000 rpm, it is like turning up the volume.
    I can't compare it with PSE since I haven't heard it before, but with a simple work, now my exhaust has 2/3 less back pressure and sounded louder with characteristic 911 noise.

    I think the path name of the pictures had been changed so that you can't see them now.
    I post them again here:

    Here is the second picture which shows the 2 piece pipe:

    Here is a new shot I took yesterday which shows the welding of the new chrome pipe:

    Impressive! does not look like the easiest way to get PSE tough :-)

    Re: Done the PSE Mode

    Great Job!

    I just bite my A** that I got my new car with PSE from factory! Good to know and have fun with it!

    cheers, L

    Re: Done the PSE Mode

    I got the same mod done last week on my Tip 4S. I have only heard Techart and Gemballa exhausts, this is far more factory Porsche sound. It has almost the same level of noise at idle however after 2000 rpms it lives.

    On a side note, this same mod produced a different(on the negative side) result on a 3.6 liter Carrera mufflers.

    Re: Done the PSE Mode

    Glad the mod worked for you. How much money did you save by doing it yourself?

    Re: Done the PSE Mode

    Actually Queram and I make done the job at the same shop.
    I paid 200$.

    Re: Done the PSE Mode

    What was the problem with doing the same mod to a 3.6 system??

    Re: Done the PSE Mode

    Arnt you worried that you have damaged the value of your car more than you would have spent on getting a real PSE. Im sure Im not the only buyer who wouldnt touch such a DIY job car?

    Seems to me that whilst its interesting, your DIY job is going to proove more expensive than the real thing in the long term.

    Re: Done the PSE Mode

    you can always pick up used oem porsche mufflers for around $50 on ebay or any porsche forum

    Re: Done the PSE Mode

    onur and queram, i have also done this mod and feel like it didnt make that much of a difference in sound.
    had you guys or the shop considered a bypass pipe between the inlet and outlet pipes? the pipe would be placed where the ruler is in this pic

    Re: Done the PSE Mode

    Raffi,

    That is an interesting idea. I never considered it but it is a very easy mode and I can maybe use a little more sound as well although I am quite happy with it so far. Are there anyone who did this before? What size pipe are you planning to use?

    Re: Done the PSE Mode

    This by-pass pipe could sound too loud and would change the sound characteristics.

    By the way, I don't thing this kind of PSE mode would have an impact on resale value. Thus I don't worry at all.

    yes there are a few people who have done this, also on aftermarket mufflers...
    there is a guy on ebay who does this mod and sell them, he also has a video clip on his auction, i know what you mean by the sound characteristic, it sounds more like bypass pipes than pse.
