I am considering going for a sports exhaust on my 996.

What is the best option to go for - the Porsche one or Tubi ?

Do they cost about the same and are there warranty implications for not getting the Porsche one ?

Thanks
Mark

My mums boxster S has the pse on it and it sounds great, I have heard a number of cars with tubi systems, to me they sound much better, suspect its a personal tastse which one to get though. would imagine pse would not affect warrenty though.

Heard them both before deciding the PSE was best , most suited to the engine , and gives the best salute to Porsches older flat 6's.

The tubi's a bit more raucous , bit harsher to my ear , but there's only one way you'll know which one's for you ..... ears

My PSE, fitted by OPC East London, with the cut off switch was £1,500 back in March. This was pushed as a limited offer at the time but you may still be able to barter based on this.
Great sound and not at all intrusive when motorway driving etc.
I didn't realise just how good they sounded till I met up with Woogie recently and he gave his the beans leaving the car park smile

Yep - got mine done for £1.5k as part of the offer by East London (for my 997).

Spent a long time trying to decide between the two. In the end there's not much difference in the sound but the PSE doesn't affect your warranty, is switchable if you want to be nice to neighbours, was the same price (based on the special offer) and also will prb make the car easier to sell in the future. Based on that the decision was easy.

Does make a big difference to the car and well worth the expense.

Nope - same power, just much better sound.

I agree, PSE sounds fab, 1500 quid all in and it's Porsche part. I can't comment on the tubi but I doubt it's better than the PSE.

I am driving from Bournemouth to Essex tonight and back again tomorrow , as you are sort of on the way I can let you have a listen if you like. Well I think you are on the way , lucky I have a sat nav biggrin

Yeah, the sound was great and I can understand why you keep the windows down. I am probably going to get the Porsche one day, hopefully in the early near year or something

Thanks for going out of your way, you're a top man and if you are ever nearby over a weekend give me a shout and I will buy you a beer. Lovely motor too.

Regards
Mark

I went from the PSE to the Tubi, no comparison at all. The Tubi just howls, still sounding very Porsche like, but just so exotic in its tone.
