A stock PSE system if you can find one new, should run around $4k IIRC.

If you already have the PSE option, the installation is even easier and you still use your interior sport button function for the enhanced sound and power.

Using only the best quality Stainless steel the industry has to offer along with German made HJS 200 Cel cats, this is the pinnacle of quality and craftsmanship for Porsche aftermarket exhaust.

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.

Hi All...
What is everyones most recent price quotes for how much it costs for the dealer to install the PSE onto a '01 C4?
Anyone doing a private sale of theirs that will fit the '01?
Category:
Engine - Exhaust
Price:
$3950
Private or Vendor Listing:
Private Listing
Part fits:
Porsche 911 997 Turbo
Location (State):
MD
Item Condition:
Used
Pristine condition BBI Race exhaust with ceramic coating and "BBI" etching on side for 997.2 TT/S. Using only the best quality Stainless steel the industry has to offer along with German made HJS 200 Cel cats, this is the pinnacle of quality and craftsmanship for Porsche aftermarket exhaust.
Widely regarded as the best sounding exhaust for the 997.2 TT/S platform, here is your chance to get it for a fraction of the cost. Car is being sold and parted out, my loss is your gain.
Serious inquiries only. Don't waste my time if you're looking to lowball. The exhaust sells for $5200+tax and has a 8 -10 week lead time.
PRICE IS FIRM - NO LOWBALLS OR "BEST OFFERS". Buyer pays shipping.
GLWS brother!
I can testify the sound on this exhaust is epic and build quality incredible. Best exhaust for the 997.2 by a large margin IMHO. The sound is like a combination of a GT2 and GT3. Best of both worlds - hollow at mid rpms and high pitched at high rpms with nice turbo spool. Decel there is a lot of gurgles and other cool noises.
+1 for Fister sport mufflers. They sound great for a great price.
If you really want something with a valve or an "on/off" switch, you might consider Fabspeed. I think they make such a system that will be less expensive than PSE.

Longboarder nailed it as usual..could not say it better myself...totally transformed my .2 Turbo and is a piece of art that is without compare in the market anywhere. I have modded all my cars over the years and this still ranks as the best mod yet. GLWS

I personally like it as well however even in the "quiet" mode, the Fabspeed is still louder than stock and might not be everyone's taste or intention.
Gucci member here has one if you do a search, I believe he has some video sound clips of it.
A stock PSE system if you can find one new, should run around $4k IIRC.
I have absolutely no automotive mechanical knowledge so please accept this stupid question. If they sound the same what's the advantage of spending thousands for the system with the valve? I used to have flowmasters on my 5.0 and never felt the need to turn the sound down. Am I missing something?
PSE was not that expensive until about 4 years ago. They started getting the price up and up... and up... You can buy a 997 PSE much cheaper than a 996's. The valves themselves cost porsche around $100 each probably less.
I have the same car/equiptment. I'd recommend:
- 30/32 [Max] PSI Rear w the Michelin's
- Use Lauch Control
- Turn "OFF" the traction control
- I'd 'Heat' the tires with a Burn Out, but it won't make a great deal of differnence on Trap Speeds
Times/Speeds: Mid 10's & 133+/- Trap Speeds. Your can do better..........But this is close.
A brand new factory PSE will cost you around $6,000 for the parts (yep...6 grand
) plus installation if you don't do the work yourself. See here:
http://www.carnewal-europe.com/main.htm
(price is 4150 euros). As others have noted, Porsche has raised their price for the 996 PSE through the roof, to the point it makes absolutely no sense to buy one.
Options:
Modified Stock Mufflers (about 1/15th the cost of PSE)
: FisterD...best "bang for buck" mod. From what I've heard they make a nice sound when you cane it, but are very close to stock if you're driving sedately. You can do probably get close to this doing this "hack" yourself but the cost for the FisterDs is reasonable, reported quality is excellent--I would just go to FisterD and be done with it. Note, this option won't affect your engine's power output.
Aftermarket (about 1/4 to 1/3 the cost of PSE)
: there are a wide variety of options from many manufacturers. To my knowledge only Fabspeed makes a "switchable" system. All of them sound different than stock across the range (from idle to WOT), and sound different from each other. Each is claimed to gain your engine some HP...that's a nice plus if true but I would buy on sound only, not claimed HP gains. If you go this route do your research and listen live to the systems you're interested in, don't rely just on internet audio clips.

Porsche seems to be one of the few where they can raise parts prices on older cars over and over...
I remember when GT3 sways were around $200 and now they are over $300.
Hey Guys, we have our Maxflo Valvetronic exhaust available which sounds great in normal mode and then opens up a little more in sport mode. Its a direct bolt on replacement for your stock mufflers and will right up to your stock Cats or any aftermarket sport Cats. If you already have the PSE option, the installation is even easier and you still use your interior sport button function for the enhanced sound and power. Let me know if anyone is interested and I will make a special member deal on the muffler upgrade.
Thanks,
