Too much raspiness for my taste, but idle sound is nice. You need to make a custom exhaust that will sound like this:

PSE is the best sounding exhaust out there. Sometimes when i am driving i have to turn off my radio to listen to the PSE symphony. Simply magical.

I just heard...literally LAST NIGHT...the AWE exh on a 997...and man that SOUNDS AWESOME.

The car is a 997, headers, mufflers, chip and intake. The car SOUNDED MEAN at full throttle..."race" run down the street.

onetime was there..he can vouch for the awesome sound the AWE exh made. Very cool!


EDIT - Also the sound clip was done INSIDE a parking structure..so it may of effected the "true" sound of the PSE. I dunno..I am thinking the sound was amplified or even echoing in there.

I had Fabspeeds on my 996 which sounded good but the PSE on my 997S sounds waaaaay better.

When I was at Manhattan Motorcars I heard a 997S with PSE on cold start in a open garage, letting it warm up a little but still semi cold, revving it sounded like a damn Gallardo in there, it sounded amazinggggg!
