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 am close to buying a car I just test drove. One concern is the sport exhaust. I was surprised that when I push the sport exhaust button and the light comes on, the exhaust is quiet. And when I push the button so that the light goes out, the exhaust is loud. I thought it was supposed to be the other way around. (If this is indeed backwards, I'd consider it a clue that the exhaust was reinstalled or replaced, in which case I'd worry that it might have been necessary due to an accident.) Many thanks for confirmation/explanation re. how the button should work!

POST 2Original post

I think it's supposed to be that way... but I don't have PSE, so I'm not entirely sure.

POST 3Original post

That is the way the PSE works...light on....quiet...light off loud...you can do a hack to the relay to make the sound really good @ lower RPM/Speed.

POST 5Original post

Just leave it loud, that's the only way to drive it. Love this option in mine.

POST 6Original post

It's working correctly. On the 996, default is PSE on. Pressing the button turns it off. On the 997, Porsche changed it around to default to OFF...which I think sucks.

+1 My favorite option is the PSE. Leave the light off always!

POST 8Original post

PSE is the best. Porsche engineers were geniuses to have the default be "on".
