PSE for C2 tiptronic

[James4492]

Having decided that I will save myself 20k and not upgrade to a 996TT, I am going to invest in my C2 starting with a PSE. Before I take the plunge, and spend £800 can anyone tell me if it is worth it on a tiptronic and what are anyone's experiences sound and performance wise!!

Sound improves greatly, quite simply one of the best sounds around. Performance wise.....nothing I'm afraid

You should have a rethink and put the £800 towards the £20k cost.

PSE is brilliant - but £800? More like £1400 (still worth it though).

You know you won't ever see any of this upgrade money back come sale time ...

But you probably won't lose your shirt on the money spent on a TT ...


Just being devils advocate

Exactly! I have decided to stick with my 25k C2, simply because a TT costs me 45k, but then I get into the 997C2S territory for another 6-7K. Then of course it's all about depreciation. As I see it my 996 is fairly depreciation proof in so far as the losses are minimised relative to the Purchase Price. I can live with say 5-8k loss versus a potential 25k loss!

My C2 is a third w/end car and is plenty fast enough and a great car, it just needs a more aggressive sound. The reason I am hooked on the PSE is that when test driving the TT and a C4s, the sound was phenominal, but I am not sure that will ever be replicated on a 3.4 C2. If anyone has a PSE on a tiptronic in particular, I would be grateful for any of your feedback.

your 25k C2 will lose £300 per month in depreciation over the next 18 months.....

You will pull away in first alot more

You will get annoyed that you cant always quickly drop it a few gears to impress the ladies as the tiptronic is just a bit like that

You will get through a whole lot more petrol

You will not regret getting it

[James4492]

Wetwipe, £300 a month stacks at £5400. Not bad I'd say, so 20K in 18 months. Compare that to 50K on 997s or 996c4s, reckon that's 600 a month. my decision speaks for itself.

[RDM]

Am I reading that correctly?. You think you would
lose 50K in 18 months on a 996 C4S?

[James4492]

purchase price at 50k, with depreciation of 600 per month.

[RDM]

Cheers, yeh I read that wrong.

I have PSE on my 996 c2 tip. It sounds fantastic and the exhaust tips look much better although I would prefer the ones that look like 2 circles merging into each other, but they appear to be welded on so can't change them.
