Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a really irritating baffle rattle in the offside rear silencer. The car has PSE as standard so have been looking at maybe renewing with an after market Cat back valved system. Has anyone done this and had a good outcome ?

Twinfan said: They sound fantastic stock, so I'd just replace the offending part if I were in your shoes. Problem is that Porsche won’t sell you just one side. You have to buy full replacement exhaust. So you could get it repaired which means cutting open the faulty side, replacing baffle and the re-closing with welding…. You might want to get the other side scoped at same time. Or you buy aftermarket replacement, lots of options available. Top Gear, IWS, Cargraphic, Soul, FVD Bromacher/M&M Might be worth getting quotes for all 3 paths, and then deciding. OEM 981 PSE was about £3k last time i looked and that will at least some with a parts warranty.

POST 4Original post

Another advantage of aftermarket exhaust is that it removes the hassle of sticking valves

POST 5Original post

Milnsey said: Another advantage of aftermarket exhaust is that it removes the hassle of sticking valves Do aftermarket systems work with the PSE switch or are they what they are and the PSE switch just becomes an ornament...? Edited by Spevs on Saturday 22 July 08:43

POST 6Original post

Some seem to be valveless, presume the valved ones have a different more reliable mechanism than the original PSE. Fabspeed is what I was looking at

POST 7Original post

Fabspeed also decent. Can’t believe I forget them from my little list!

POST 8Original post

I want one that sounds as good as PSE but hard to tell which is best from you tube clips
