Read evidence and context
Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Leading evidence: 'Test drive' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Test drive' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

Great sound.
"Saw it" on a C4S Cab? Did you hear it? If not, take it for a test drive. Adds a significant amount to the pleasure of driving. Whether it's worth it or not I suppose depends on how much you enjoy it. For me, it was aftermarket and DIY costing a grand total of $1600. Definitely worth it.
PSE is THE ABSOLUTE best option one can install on a 996. the sound is amazing. drive top down, through a tunnel.... if you are not addicted, then perhaps, you shouldn't be driving a porsche. it's that good.
Makes it sound like a sportscar. Getting into my car the other day, a guy walks up to me and says he has the exact same car. Then, I start it up, and he says 'Hey - what's that? Why does your car sound so good? Mine sounds like such a pu**sy!' I replied, You mean a Vaccum Cleaner...
However I did install the electronics. On a Cab it's sometimes a hair too loud to be on the phone with when the top's down... expensive but pretty trick!
Sounds great, 'til you get STOMPED by a big, quiet Mercedes! Why not give us an exhaust system that adds power? I'm curious, is the stock exhaust design so good that PSE/aftermarket can only make us "sound" faster?
You gave us a chassis - thanks. How about some power, please!
I'd pay, say, $500 bucks to just sound better. I didn't order it.

Eric,
Guess that pretty much sums it up...no performance gains from PSE. But it does sound awesome. I'm with Dirk, I'll pay 2400 for an exhaust that ups my hp/torque a little, otherwise 2400 for sound is not worth it...
C'mon, the cars are 90 grand, what's another $2,400
That said, $2,400 bucks for an exhaust is obscene. I couldn't buy another P-Car without it now though.
Well, I guess that's legit. It's not any more expensive than some of the "fluff" options I have that delight other senses:
Full Leather - Touch, Smell
Flared Rockers, Crests - Sight
Yellow Seat Backs/Console - Ditto
Bose - Hearing
Haven't found any suitable options for satisfying sense of taste,
but I'd imagine that these parts would need frequent replacement.
Cheers,

The previous PSE (for the 3.4L) is a straight pipe, rumor has it may add some horsepower, but PAG will not make any claims for regulation reasons. It certainly feels faster, but that could be completely psychological.
PSE sounds:
Standard Exhaust 1
PSE 1
Standard Exhaust 2
PSE 2
