How hard is it to fit a PSE, the car (Cayman S) already has the sports buttons for PASM and Sports Chrono, so are the other connections already there I wonder.
Reason for asking is OPC have said its about £2850 to supply and fit, where it is only about £1900 from 911UK shop (supply only of course), the car is under OPC warranty so do not want to invalidate that, but the OPC price is a little steep and I could get a decent indy to fit it.

Any thoughts appreciated, or anybody done it smile

Does the 911 shop price include the wiring and switch?

I asked about this last time I was at an Indy, said if you want the wiring and switch done its quite a job, lots of hours required. Didn't think it was that much though!

No it states that some models may require additional components, I presume they mean the panel and switch which mine has already got, not sure about the wiring

Haggle with your OPC for a discount. £2800 sounds pretty much like tbe standard price and I recently got Sport Mode package AND PSE fitted for around that.

You should be able to get at least a 10% discount just by asking, more if you're prepared to chase different OPCs for prices and play them off against eachother.

£2850 is about what I was quoted for PSE on my 2009 911 C4S, with wiring and a separate button for the exhaust.

If you're happy to have it hooked up to your Sport button (I wasn't) then it should be substantially cheaper than that!

Have a ring around a couple of other dealers.

The fitting of the exhaust is not too difficult at all. Just a bit of common sense. The wiring and actuators should not be too hard (I have not done this though) but I think you will need a software update in the ECU and this may cause an issue as it may be back to OPC

Exhaust system is a simple swap of silencers. Wiring will go from a switchover valve fitted in the engine bay directly into the DME and the exhaust will change note when the sport button is pressed. The actuators just run from a couple of vacuum lines from the inlet manifold. Finally, the coding in the gateway is changed to sports exhaust installed. Its not a difficult job but is a bit time consuming as the chances are your old exhaust nuts/bolts will be rotten one the flanges. You could get a seperate button installed on later models just to turn the exhaust on or off but i think thats just gen 2. Hope this helps.
