C4S - aftermarket PSE and Parking Sensor?

[Red27]

Well, it finally happened - I found the C4S I've been lusting after for well over a year now!

Very happy man indeed!

However, a couple of things are on the wish list (already!)...

Firstly, the car sadly doesn't come with a PSE, but I'm intrigued by the "Gundo Hack" (which uses the 2" connecting pipe between the muffler pipes). Has anyone on here had the mod done, and if so what was the verdict when compared to the real PSE? Also, could anyone recommend somewhere in the North West that does it.

Second, it doesn't come with a Rear Parking Sensor (and I've gotten used to it in BMW, yes, I know, I know.. ;-), but can anyone recommend a suitable after market / retro fit version? Likewise a reliable fitter in the North West would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I was chatting to Jonny from Unit 11 yesterday (we were watching the races at Oulton Park) and he was telling me he's fitted parking sensors to quite a few cars like yours where the sensor/s is/are basically like a big thick adhesive tape that goes on the inside of the bumper so there is nothing visible at all from the outside. Sounds like a perfect solution to me - less chance of people referring to your car having "ladypark" as I've seen people on here call it www.unit11.co.uk

Mike at Sports and Classic does the exhaust hack and has a sample on display. www.sportsandclassic.com

You may already know but you're spoilt for choice in the North West for Porsche specialists - see the wiki at the top of the forum for a list but other respected places include Hartech, Ninemeister, Jasmine.

Thanks for the info on Unit 11 - I've dropped them an email about their ladypark plus products...

Any verdicts from anyone on the comparative quality of the exhaust mod(against stock PSE) would be appreciated.

Yeah i could do with some info and associated costs for an after market PSE type system.
My old man has just bought a C4S cab without the PSE facility, & i mentioned there was something available.
Let me know please

I hear there is a new generation of parking sensors that does not need drilling in the bumpers anymore. My 996 turbo S had aftermarkets parking sensors (realy nicely done) that had to be taken off for porsche warranty purposes.

I am interested to hear if someone been using these 'no drilling' parking sensors. If good, I may even have some on my 993...

I fit parking sensors for a living and will not fit the no drill type as they are total rubbish save your money.

I've had the 1.5" bypass fitted to my 3.6 C4 and it sounds amazing, hardly any difference from stock up to 3k rpm but a superb sound above that, highly recommended. I didn't use them but I've heard good reports about Zorstec in Bradford

Thanks for the responses thus far.

Also - FYI - Unit 11 came back quickly - they install this version http://www.parkingdynamics.co.uk (£79.99 plus 3 or 4 hours install at reasonable hourly rate). Anyone tried or seen these in action?

Re: Zorstec - I believe I've seen their name recommended before in relation to the Gundo mod, but whenever I try to visit their website http://www.zorstec.com/ it's unavailable (105 name not resolved / DNS issue).

Might there be another exhaust modder, to compare against Sports & Classic?

Hayward & Scott have had some good reviews, also look at this http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=66202
