Agree car sells for same price with or without while the aftermarket parts will sell used for more than the Porsche parts, in this case anyway.

While it was a bit of a pain given that it was the first time I'd done it, it would be pretty easy to remove (and not too tough to install the next time).

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

I'm going to sell my 2000 996 C4 Cab soon and am considering removing and selling the Porsche Sports Exhaust and other mods separately. My gut tells me I might be able to get more money if I sell them separately (and also find someone who might appreciate them more). In particular, would it be worth the effort to pull off the PSE and go back to stock?
Likewise, for the ROW M030 Sports suspension. This might be less practical than the PSE, since the car would need to be aligned.
The SmartTop module seems like a no brainer.
I enjoy working on the car, so the time involved to swap things out isn't an issue.
Or would keeping these bits with the car make it stand out? The car is a heavily optioned one, so it already is going to be on the high side compared to many of the others that are available.
You always make more $$ taking them off...and the new buyer doesn't even have to know that it had them...just take it back to stock. Galerie's right...you'll make some Rennlisters happy if you sell them at a decent price.
The only problem with the PSE is the pneumatic/electronic part of it.. that would be a PITA to remove, unless you have a buyer that only wants the cans.
I installed mine without the electronics/pneumatic activation circuit since I only want it in the sport mode all the time.
Thanks for all the input. Looks like a strong preference for removing the mods (except for the PMs from folks interested in buying the car!).
Regarding the PSE, I installed it and the electronics/pneumatics myself and it really wasn't too tough. While it was a bit of a pain given that it was the first time I'd done it, it would be pretty easy to remove (and not too tough to install the next time). The switch is a pretty cool feature, but I rarely run it in quiet mode (occasionally I use it if I'm leaving the house early in the morning and don't want to bother the neighbors).
Orient Express, the interior is metropol blue full leather, including leather visors, handbrake and shift ****. I can't see that it would make sense to try to sell any of the interior bits separately, but maybe I'm missing something.
I would be intrested in the PSE with the wiring and switch...I have been looking for 3.6 to modify but if these are price right I would move that direction.
I am a new 996 owner and expect I must do soming with the lack of sound on the 3.4 cans
I agree, you should sell all that you can because the dealer will just give you the wholesale value for the car itself and nothing for the mods.
I have been down that road several times, it pays to remove them and sell them seperately.
