As per title, if you want to keep OPC warranty on car , how much to retrofit PSE with switch fitted by gear stick, so you can choose to cruise in quiet, or switch to loud mode ?

Around £2k. Sometimes hear of offers where it's reduced to £1500.

OPC Silverstone had an offer on last year for £1.5k.

Thanks.

For me the must haves for a Boxster S are PASM and PSE. Amazed how many cars don't have both.

agree. I recently bought a 18 month old 981S and couldnt find one under 55k that had both. I would trade Sport Chrono for PASM.

Not driven this option admittedly, but won't that just be a little too harsh for Britain's roads? Especially given most cars will be fitted with 20" rims

I went with PASM smile It's excellent

Just having the PSE retro-fitted to my new (used) purchase. Don't know how much on its own though as taken account of in the deal.

Should go nicely with the SC, PASM and PTV. smile

That's interesting! I'm a while off making a purchase, but i'd like PSE. So buying from an OPC you were able to negotiation adding PSE to a car that was in stock? If you don't mind me asking, could you tell a bit more about your deal, did you have to add much cash?

Sorry for taking it off-topic.

Thanks!

I know of a few guys on boxa.net that had PSE thrown in as part of the deal.

Don't think they paid any extra nor got any taken off sticker.

Maybe the price to an OPC is nowhere near what a customer would pay.

This was the first this I had done after picking my 981S up.

The £1500 deal at Silverstone unfortunately ended a long time ago.

Initial prices were coming in at £2300 from a number of OPCs.

Managed to negotiate this down to £1900 at two OPCs, with the line of "wanting to find a trusty OPC that will get my future service business".

PSE is a must - worth every penny!

I have PSE on my Cayman S and to be honest I struggle to tell the difference between it being on and off. Fortunately though it sounds fantastic anyway, don't know how this differs to non-PSE though.

Deffo need the PASM though. Brilliant.

Just picked up my S today to which I retro fitted a PSE. Sound out of the box is fantastic. Plus there is a huge difference between on and off. PSE and SC both off is quite discrete. Whereas PSE and SC both on sounds like an artillery range. The blipped down changes of the PDK are hilarious. Especially with the roof down. So pleased I retro fitted it and the satin matt 20s.
