997GT3/RS Sports Exhaust switch defeat??

Guys,

I made a simple mod on my 997C4S Porsche sport Exhaust (PSE) to make it stay ON all of the time (so I didnt have to keep hitting the switch).

I simply disconnected the pink connector on top of the engine and there ya go - sports exhaust always open!

Question is - is the same modification do-able on my forthcoming GT3RS ??

Many thanks!

I assume your 997 C4S isn't "coming soon" anymore?
What cars do your neighbours have? Your parents? Your brother/sister?

I think the connector in the GT3 (RS) is at the rear right of the engine and is blue.

I have not picked up my GT3 yet to check it but I have seen several posts on this topic, if not on this forum then definitely on others.

Mine wasn't blue. Just follow the hard vacuum lines up from the passenger side exhaust and you will see which plug to undo

You might be right. I was able to find some pics on another forum/webpage, and there might be some blue tape by the connector. I looked at the pic more closely and the plug itself is a much lighter colour. I'll have to look for it on my car this weekend.

THANKS - Do you just disconnect the plug or do you need to do anything else?

Remember to squeeze in the locking wire clip and the plug.

im interested in eliminating the 'artificial' sound changes that occur from idle to low to high rpm. these exists whether in sport mode or not. im talking about how it gets louder at idle then quieter again until over 4k rpm when it finally sounds right. i want it loud like it is over 4k rpm all the time.

will 'opening the valve' accomplish what im after or will that just make it sound same as sport mode without the ability to put it back into regular mode. that doesnt seem worth it to me since easy enough to just push the sport button on and keep flexibility to turn it off.

i guess it will need an aftermarket muffler to get what im looking for. not really keen on that for a leased car though

Takes 1 second to pull the plug and put it back if you dont' like it.

guess thats easy enough to try but what will result be? just sport button sound all the time with same annoying changes or something altogether different?

thanks to anyone who can describe it to me
