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.

Suggestion
Does she have a PSE button that changes the exhaust note or can you look for the dashpot on the exhaust itself?
Leading evidence: 'Replace exhaust note or can you look' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace exhaust note or can you look' (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.

Had an argument with the wife about her build options. She thinks she had the PSE, but I disagree and it's not listed as a separate option on the sticker or final order form.
Does anyone have the list of 01 build options and/or know any of the other codes that included the PSE?
Possible options on our car would be:
P04 - Advanced Technic
P06 - GT Package
I think the first was the stereo upgrade and the second should be the Aerokit.
Advanced Technic is an usually an comfort electronics upgrade... For 2004, it had:
Advanced Technic Package.
Includes options: 342 Heated Seats, 446 P82 Wheels Caps w/Color Crest, 476 PSM, 680 Bose Sound Package, 692 Remote CD Changer, P11 Rain Sensor/Dimming Mirror P15 Power Seats, P16 PCM, P74 Bi-Xenon
I imagine 2001 was similar.
But I must be missing something... Does she have a PSE button that changes the exhaust note or can you look for the dashpot on the exhaust itself? Seems like the obvious way to see if she has PSE. (edit: evidently some PSE exhausts don't have a PSE button, presumably they are always in loud mode?)
I did find a reference to the P06 option
here
...
But don't all 996's have a stainless steel exhaust? It does seem plausible, at least, that the P06 package really did contain the
sports
exhaust.
Didn't know the PSE had a button. Just thought it was more open and had a different exhaust note. As I said, I'm sure she didn't get it.
The P06 exhaust is (I believe) is just referring to the tips. I forget what the normal ones looked like, but these are large single ovals. These are actually chrome though, was that sheet from a 01 book?
I know we don't have the PSE option by itself. The question was if it also came as part of any packages with P04 (pretty much ruled out) and P06 being the only two potentials from our option list.
for full reference, here is her car (don't know why it shows as a targa rather that the C4 it actually is (yes the front wheels have power and yes it has a fixed solid roof
)):

other that the base type and the impact on the total price, the other info matches the order and sticker.
The switch is not always the tail tail sign. I had a pse exhaust without the electronic valve control.
Mine came with a factory aero kit so maybe that's the exhaust. Look under the car at the mufflers and look if the exhaust has the valves which is what the pse exhaust is, mine just had rubber plugs where the valve control would have connected.
