How many leave PSE on most of the time?

Curious how many owners with Porsche Sport Exhaust leave it on more then off? I understand from the cabin the sound is no that much different and the exahaust really comes alive sound wise at higher RPMs and at WOT. I am contemplating the exhaust hack which evokes the same (or very similar) sound as the PSE on, the only problem is after the hack it's on for life! I want a more pronounbced sound but nothing to loud or droning inside and think this is perfect but just want to make sure it's the right call, thanks for your comments...

If you don't leave it on all or most of the time when do you turn it on and if you had to suddenly make a choice to leave it on at all times or keep it off at all times what's your choice?

I usually keep it on. I'd say 85% of the time its on, but thats also because the sport chrono is attached to it, which i wish it wasnt since sometimes u just wanna coast... but still sound good. Regardless i love the sound and yes it is alive starting at about 3500 RPMs in the lower gears.
I was looking into the techart coilovers u got, wondering how it affects the PASM and also if they are adjustable (may sound stupid but adjustable by hand or button?) In any case the deal sounds great as i can see that they run $7k on most websites.

Off in mornings, on in afternoons. I didn't like it being on with the sport button, so I wired up a custom flip switch to it. Best mod I ever did..

my system is very loud with it on, not bad when it is not (still louder then stock headers, cats, and PSE on). If all I had was the stock system then I would keep it on at all times.

Mine is wired to a switch in the ashtray so I can control the 'music'.

It's on (more music) 90% of the time. Off when I'm around 'enforcement', the wife's in the car or subterranean parking garages.

The only thing that's a pain in the *** about it is having to turn it on. Start the car, hit the switch, then forget about it... (I did turn it off today when I saw a cop approaching in the other lane)

Any of you guys have good clips of the PSE?? Ive heard it in person on cold start then revving in a parking garage, I could not believe how amazing it sounded , and then last week at the track as well! Fantastic for a stock option..

Other than the rarely times when I was having a headache or feeling ill, I leave the PSE on all the time by disconnected the hose. IMO the "off" mode of PSE is way too silent and it makes me feel I am driving a luxury car instead of a sports car.
