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.

As per title, if you want to keep OPC warranty on car , how much to retrofit PSE with switch fitted by gear stick, so you can choose to cruise in quiet, or switch to loud mode ?

Around £2k. Sometimes hear of offers where it's reduced to £1500.
OPC Silverstone had an offer on last year for £1.5k.
Thanks.
For me the must haves for a Boxster S are PASM and PSE. Amazed how many cars don't have both.

agree. I recently bought a 18 month old 981S and couldnt find one under 55k that had both. I would trade Sport Chrono for PASM.

Not driven this option admittedly, but won't that just be a little too harsh for Britain's roads? Especially given most cars will be fitted with 20" rims
I went with PASM
It's excellent
Just having the PSE retro-fitted to my new (used) purchase. Don't know how much on its own though as taken account of in the deal.
Should go nicely with the SC, PASM and PTV.

That's interesting! I'm a while off making a purchase, but i'd like PSE. So buying from an OPC you were able to negotiation adding PSE to a car that was in stock? If you don't mind me asking, could you tell a bit more about your deal, did you have to add much cash?
Sorry for taking it off-topic.
Thanks!

You have mail.
I know of a few guys on boxa.net that had PSE thrown in as part of the deal.
Don't think they paid any extra nor got any taken off sticker.
Maybe the price to an OPC is nowhere near what a customer would pay.

Could you mail me with the info also !
You have mail.
Sorry OP for the slight hijacking of your thread.
Hey no probs, I would like info too please lol.

Just looking into buying one so if you could mail me the info too that would be great (Sorry to the OP also)
This was the first this I had done after picking my 981S up.
The £1500 deal at Silverstone unfortunately ended a long time ago.
Initial prices were coming in at £2300 from a number of OPCs.
Managed to negotiate this down to £1900 at two OPCs, with the line of "wanting to find a trusty OPC that will get my future service business".
PSE is a must - worth every penny!
I have PSE on my Cayman S and to be honest I struggle to tell the difference between it being on and off. Fortunately though it sounds fantastic anyway, don't know how this differs to non-PSE though.
Deffo need the PASM though. Brilliant.

Just picked up my S today to which I retro fitted a PSE. Sound out of the box is fantastic. Plus there is a huge difference between on and off. PSE and SC both off is quite discrete. Whereas PSE and SC both on sounds like an artillery range. The blipped down changes of the PDK are hilarious. Especially with the roof down. So pleased I retro fitted it and the satin matt 20s.

I'm thinking of going from 20 to 18 and this might make X73 a viable option for me. The pics of the race'y cayman 981 with 18 inch wheels sells it for me.
Had my PSE retrofit at Porsche indy RPM Technik, exhaust kit plus dash switch were around £1600 + 8 hours labour - most of which was spent disassembling most of the car to get the switch wired in, along with updating the ECU and adding the exhaust module.
Still a lot cheaper than the £2990 quoted at all the Porsche dealerships I called!
Not sure how some of you have got such cheap quotes to supply and fit!

I am in the same boat - got quoted 2.5k for the retrofit. Would be grateful for any tips
Just had it fitted to my 981 Cayman 2.7 pdk. Absolutely love it - well worth the money.
I also rang round a load of OPCs. Eventually got my local to price match the best price which was just over 1700. Had a stupid range though, up to over 2500 from one place!

That seems a lot. Some of the lower prices quoted on here seem more sensible. Although I probably still would have gone for it at £2,500. It really makes the car for me. Still not bored of the sound after 3,500 miles. Although I do turn it down when getting close to home and work. It's a little shouty in polite company.
Numerous OPCs doing this for sub 2k when I rang around. As stated both Portsmouth and Bournemouth offered to do it for those prices. Barter the need to build a servicing relationship to swing a discount. 10% seems to be the norm at least!
