I was quoted $6,000 up here in Toronto for a PSE on my 3.4 PDK.
OP, I'm really surprised you got it all done for $2114. It's odd that an after purchase OEM add on would cost LESS than what it costs to tick it as an option during the factory build ($2,950).
Even Suncoast charges $3,000 just for the parts no labour.

The Sport Exhaust tips cost more than the PSE muffler does.
Could you non PSE guys answer if your standard exhaust opens its valves automatically in Sport Mode?
In other words, is the exhaust any louder, below 3300 RPM, with Sport Mode On vs Off?

You also need to go to a dealer that's not going to rob you when they do the installation. I live in in area with 4 Porsche dealers (DC) and was quoted $875 to $2000 for installation. I took the cheapest route and the folks at Porsche of Rockville were great to deal with.
Look up the parts at Sonnen. Surprisingly, the parts are relatively cheap.

So, for a 991s the 9 items above are the only ones needed for the upgrade right? Also, in addition to the exhaust tips, did you have to reuse the side mufflers (because I don't see them in your order form)? My SA gave me a really good labor quote and I am about to order those 9 items. Super excited. Thanks!

Hey bro. Can you tell me where you bought your parts from?
So, I just had the PSE installed this week at Porsche of Rockville and wanted to let everyone know the parts and prices I paid in case someone is thinking of doing the same. I know there have been threads on this, but in my research, I've never found a definitive list of parts and prices -- located in a single thread -- required to add PSE to a S/4S.
The total cost (labor and parts) to do this was $2114. When you build your 991, Porsche charges $2950. So, those interested in saving $800, add this option afterwards.
Attached is a breakdown of the minimum parts needed to do the install.
Also, thank you to those that helped me identify these parts. I "stole" info from a lot of other threads to figure out the minimum that I needed to do this.

I think the 3.4 has the side mufflers replaced as well when upgrading to the PSE, the exhaust exits the back differently through the tips on the base.
I bought a full exhaust from an S on ebay for $500 and am planning on installing it on my base shortly. It will be a cheap experiment, and I might even try to hook up the valves on the exhaust to the control valve for the sound symposer - then the "sport" button becomes the on/off switch!

I purchased my PSE off of eBay; brand new, for under $900 all parts included. The prior owner ended up selling his 991S for a 997 turbo. Such a steal at that price; however, I paid $800 for Porsche of Arlington, VA to install the PSE with the new switch panel. Originially, the PSE switch was the 3rd button from the top on the right, but I wanted the OEM look, so the technician move it to the 2nd one from the top on the right, so it can be done. Looking back, the install is completely DIY, outside of reprograming the buttons.

So to retrofit PSE on a Carrera S you don't need to change the side mufflers?
You just need the centre PSE muffler, the button, wiring etc, correct ?
The side mufflers remain the same or does the retrofitted PSE require different side mufflers also to sound the same as factory installed PSE?

How much did your parts run you? Your attachment seems to suggest approx $400, but that can't be correct.
