Pse ?

How much should a complete (including electronics) used PSE system cost.

THanks

They typically range from $800 to $1200, depending on how many are available on the market at any given time. The key is finding one with all the wiring, tubing, and solenoid etc. Many people remove the mufflers but not the rest of the system.

Ken is exactly right. You may find a set of mufflers only for less and that might be just fine if you don't plan to use the 'loudness' switching capabilities.

You will need the vacuum lines and solenoid vacuum valve however even if you plan to keep them in the loud mode all the time. I suspect you could run your own vacuum lines to a tee connected to the power steering pump vacuum line.

I bought my PSE (used) about year ago complete w/ all the accessory parts for $1100 (shipped).

If you need a parts list to make sure all is included let me know and I'd be happy to send one to you.

Good Luck!

Thanks very much all.

How much is the full (including electronics) install. I really like the sound of the PSE (even better than tubi) and I love the fact you can turn it on and off...can't belive I didn't order it...how much was it as a factory option?

Thanks

Strtswpr996...do you also have the electronics?

Do not hook it up through the DME, Direct wire a switch from 12volt to solonoid for instant on/off with no DME cutoff.

Agree. This is how I wired mine, and it is so simple and convenient, plus I don't have to be in "sport" mode to implement it. It also makes the wiring much simpler for a do-it-yourself type like me. You only need to use the power lead and ground lead in the wiring loom, and don't need to go near the DME. I installed my little switch in the ash tray in center console, so it is really handy. The system defaults to loud when there is no power, and goes to quiet with power to the solenoid.

Installing PSE

Keninirvine, I am about to install a PSE kit on my 2006, and was planning on putting a switch in the ashtray also and using the cigarette lighter as a source of power. How did you run the wire from the engine compartment gromet to the console. I have a Have the TSB instructions (from renntech) for installing the PSE and it seem fairly straight forward, but I do not which interior pieces I need to pull and how to pull them. I was hoping I could snake the wire under the carpet (without pulling the carpet) to the console

Give me your email address and I'll send you some photos. I removed all the upholstery behind the back seat so I could access the main wiring grommet into the engine bay. It is hard to get to, and fishing the wiring through it is the most difficult part of the whole install in my opinion. From there I was able to push the wire (I gounded the ground wire behind the rear seats and only ran the power wire to the console) into the edges of the upholstery beside and below the rear seats and over to the console. BTW, the problem with using the cigarette lighter is that it isn't switched power (it is on all the time). I pulled a new switched power circuit off the fuse box and ran it to the ashtray (I also use it for my radar detector and XM radio).

No I do not, but im sure you can get those separately from a dealer. I will let the mufflers go for cheap if interested.

I called Suncoast Porsche earlier this year, as they sell the complete system. They could not sell just the ancillary equipment without the mufflers. I expect it could be a problem getting all the right pieces from a dealer.
