Rather than add to the other 997 options/analysis thread, thought this warranted a separate discussion

Is there anything that can be done whilst on an extended OPC warranty to improve PSE, without affecting the warranty?

I've fitted a Sharkwerk and if I have an engine related problem will consider switching the old silencer back before taking it in. It won't affect claims for anything else.

^ This.

Ultimately there is nothing you can do which will allow you to pass the OPC pre-warranty extension checks as it has to be 100% standard and original.

The great things with the Sharkwerks are....
Easy to switch back at warranty renewal time.
Sounds great!
Fits great!
PSE valves still work as original.
+12bhp gain with much improved flow characteristics.

During the warranty period I had various work carried out even with the Sharkwerks bypass fitted and it was never mentioned. And remember that the actual exhaust system isn't covered by the extended warranty anyway.

Just such a shame that the 997.2 PSE sounds so disappointing and it needs a mod to release a proper 911 soundtrack.

Thank you both, did not realise it was so easily reversible.

I'm going to go for it

Do you buy direct at $895 from the website, and have it shipped to the UK or is there a UK distributor?

Assume this is relatively straightforward DIY for a weekend warrior?
