Sorry, more questions.
From what I understand it's as simple as pulling off those 2 rubber hoses. What are the hoses called?/what are they suppose to do ?
Would plugging them after they are removed alter anything ?
Also, what do you mean : "Directly after install, the PSE sounded almost like my original exhaust." ?
Sorry for all the questions, I feel like a 3 year old with a new toy.
1. you have to pull off ONE rubber hose, just the one where the red arrows point at!!! No need for the other one!
Of course this happens in the ENGINE COMPARTMENT, not beneath the car.
2. after we installed the PSE, the sound was very disappointing. We had to drive around 20 km at higher revv figures to blow it free, the sound came little by little. No big deal but I mentioned it just in case that somebody hears it on a brandnew car and is completely disappointed. This seems to be normal, just drive around a little bit and accelerate from time to time up to the rev limiter and shortly after...VOILA.
I should also mention that I got the information that the exhaust gets louder after a few thousand km. Right now, I'm happy like it is, very nice sound.
It is a little bit "higher" in sound than the old PSE but it still has that nice deep growl/roar like on classic 911 cars, especially the RS versions.
With this setup, it would definetely NOT be street legal in most countries. This is why we added the CAUTION to the picture.
Gotcha on the part about clearing it's throat! And the part about which hose to remove..Did you edit that or am I losing my mind again No need to answer if you didn't edit it. Happens to me a lot evidently.
Just one more ?
What is this hose called?/What was it's intended function ?
I don't think this last question was answered. Is this a hose carrying a vacuum hose (as someone mentioned in another thread?) or is it carrying electrical signal(s)? I.e., what is the specific purpose of this hose?
