I have a 996 c4s, it does not have PSE and I am wondering what the options are over handing lots of ££ to a Porsche main dealer for a retrofit PSE system..

What have any of you guys fitted and are happy with? I want it to sound a bit more fruity, but don't want it stupid loud as I use the car every day.

Cheers.

I have the switchable PSE, which I’ve had disconnected to be permanently loud – it sounds fantastic, but costly; I’ve recently replaced both sides.

For aftermarket, Nine Excellence: http://www.nineexcellence.com/ gave great advice but in the end I had JZM fit the PSE as they handle my other work and I wanted the car to stay in original spec.

Not sure if that helps, but the PSE sound is a joy every drive!

Best,
Do you mean you have removed the null - or the operation of the switch? You can have it loud throughout the rev range but keep the switch operational.

The switch for the changeover valve is disconnected and so its permanently set to loud.

Is that what you asked for?
Seems strange to cut the switch out as that seems to be why people pay the extra for PSE over an aftermarket jobby!

Yes: the default is quiet, so I would be forever turning it on loud! With the 997 I believe they changed the configeration so the default is loud and you press the switch to make it quiet, which makes more sence! I kept the PSE spec as it was factory fitted and is a big plus for resale.
