Gotta love it!

A couple of weeks ago I ordered a PSE for my 991S, but they were on backorder, none in the States. Today I got the call that it was in, so I dropped the car this afternoon to have it installed.

Perfect timing: I start a nice long vacation Saturday, Monday I am heading down to Southeast Ohio (and possibly beyond) for 5 days of twisty roads and blissful ignorance of all things stressful.

I love it when something like this "comes together". If I tried to plan it, it never would have happened

You will love it. IMO, a must have option. Is you 991S a PDK or manual? You'll be downshifting a lot just to hear the popping!
Enjoy!

I think you're going to love it!!
I find it very visceral and intoxicating experience with the PSE engaged.
Much different (and I find better) than on previous water-cooled 911's.

Last month I was in Germany with my wife (on the PCA Treffen). We had the PSE engaged the whole two days with a 991S. My wife, who likes exhaust noise says to me after about an hour on the Autobahn "you should get one of these as a daily driver". Came home and first day home ordered a 991S Cab with Powerkit, PDK and countless other options (white/red top/red interior). December production for February delivery.

Hey Z,

I have wanted to do route 555 so that's on the list. There are a lot of good references that come up when you search on "ohio motorcycling roads", like the below link. I may head even further South, I am making no set plans-my favorite kind of vacation!

I got my 991S back today with it's newly installed PSE. I have not had the opportunity to drive it much since getting it back, but the short run I took it on has convinced me that it was the right choice over doing nothing or an aftermarket exhaust.

Keeps it "all Porsche", not too loud, sounds more like a performance car now and with the press of a button it is off (not that I will, but good to have that option).

I am pleased, thanks for all the encouraging words folks!

What's it cost to do this and is the sound symposer still in effect with PSE?

Glad you like it!
I'm sure ya already know this but just in case... the PSE sounds even better in Sport+ mode because in that setting it runs richer, as a result you get a "fuller" sound and have more pronounced burbling/popping on the over run (from unburned fuel).

I just love it!

I did not know that Sport+ would sound different-makes sense that it does, I for one enjoy burbling and popping (at least from my Porsche). I will be running on twisty and hilly roads soon and I will definitely check that out-Thanks Sid.

JB,
The cost was $3554.00 parts and labor. I think I would have gotten a little discount on the parts if I had purchased my 991S from that dealership. Oh well, the car remains "all Porsche", sounds great and this exhaust costs less than most aftermarket kits. That may not be a fair comparison, all things considered, but it worked for me. The Symposer still works as before.

After looking my total bill over again to write this, I now realize that on the second page I did get a nice discount on P & L, I think about $200.00-$250.00 came off after the $3554.00. Maybe because I have had all my service and upgrades on two Porsches done by them?

The dealership I go to has the absolute best Customer Service of any car dealership I have ever done business with. Everyone I have encountered at the dealership has this wonderful attitude. I am in no way affiliated with them, just a very happy Customer.

The Dealership is Porsche of North Olmsted, North Olmsted is a western suburb of Cleveland, OH.
