PSE ? Yes please vicar !!
Discussion
(With many thanks to Clarkeyjnr for starting the original thread a couple of weeks ago)
After an agonising wait my PSE is now fitted, and like Clarkeys and many others no electrics or vacuum connection. All I can say is yes, Yes, YES !!! Absolutely fantastic, haven't stopped grinning yet, fantastic awesome sound and I KNOW that it releases no more BHP, but I have to say my 4S feels much faster !
Downsides ? Well the right side of my head has been wet for two days due to driving everywhere in the rain with my window down - oh, and my fuel consumption has plummetted which may just be something to do with continually dropping one (or two or three) gears just to experience that stunning wailing howl !!!
Three hours at my independant, and treated myself to a pair or twin oval tailpipes while I was at it so that no one is left in any doubt exactly where the sound is coming from !!
Best money I have EVER spent IMHO (apart of course what I spent to buy the car in the first place) - and I very much doubt I will ever bother having the electrics retrofitted as I cant see myself ever having the need to switch it off !
If you dont have one yet - get one !
(On a separate note the Gliptone leather conditioner recommended on another thread is also a fantastic product, quick, easy, works and also smells like a new car again)
Sorry must go, sun's come out and I have to get the roof down and scare the neighbours !
Do it, and do it soon !!

How jealous am I!!
I know you're all saying get one , but everytime I come close to getting £1500 together , one of the kids needs to eat or something equally unimportant..
Tempt me please Hussar.. How much was the exhaust (sans tips) all in , labour , the works ??

Obviously send the kids round to their mates houses for tea (and breakfast, and dinner etc etc)
Breakdown:
Sports Exhaust £1020 plus VAT
Labour 3 hours at £70 plus VAT (guess I could have saved by going to an ordinary garage but didnt want the risk of something going horribly wrong, or them not having the correct clamps etc)
Consumables - disc cutter blade to get the rusted bolts etc off and new rear bumper clips or screws or something (Obviously I didnt care at this point, just wanted to get in and thrash the nuts off it !!) £15 plus VAT
2 exhaust tip clamps at £6 plus VAT (originals rusted solid - see "consumables" above)
Total price for aural happiness £1476.90
For everything else there's Mastercard !

Some day all this will be mine.
Some day all this will be mine.
Not 'till they leave home matey (and i doubt it even then!!)
Mind you Christmas isnt too far away so maybe a line like "There wont be quite so many presents this year as I want you to be the coolest kids in the village zooming round to school and yr mates houses in daddy's porker with the real kewl sporty noise"
Dont forget to do that rapper thing with yr hands and fingers that has children cringing when done in public !
Seriously tempted also...but also need to feed kids 
etc. Might have to wait until bonus time next year, which should align nicely with the porkers 1st service in my hands....
I feel a plan coming on! (wife sitting next to me shaking head 
and saying things like she wants to change her car 
and/or the Caravan) Yes that's right a Porker and a van 
, not at the same time obviously!

.. How'd you know I was good at that wrap thing (That's how ' middle aged , expanding in girth and not wanting to eat a sandwich for lunch lest it puts another inch on' type people , spell rap ..) If you get me.... How about selling one of your kidneys on e-bay? Got to be worth a shot if it means life with a PSE 
Design911.com have genuine Porsche oval tips for the 996 C2/4 to mirror those oft seem on tt's - £259 plus VAT which seems far more paletable than the £400 plus VAT Ves996 was quoted by his OPC.
Its my birthday next week and they were on the list.........but as the bank account is empty I suspect i've got more chance of a bunk up than I have shiny new exhaust tips.
Ballcock I can well understand your situation - just out of interest - how are the kids at sweeping chimneys?
