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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

With the track day season kicking off and my PSE being installed next week I'm thinking about noise limits. From other posts it seems that even with the PSE switched off, the static measurement is still around 105db which is too loud for many days (eg Goodwood). Goodwood is one of the tracks I'd like to attend this year so I have a number of questions: 1. Has anyone with a C4S (or other) and PSE been turned away from Goodwood, Bedford, Combe? 2. Does anyone own 'Track day slicencers' for their PSE? If so, where did they get them from? I'm keen to get out there but also keen not to waste hundreds of pounds booking an event that I can't attend.... Cheers, Mike

POST 2Original post

All you need to do si switch off the PSE. It does make a big diffence.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

That's what I hope but other posts suggest otherwise.....

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just out of interest I measured the noise levels on my pre PSE C4S and these are the results: Idle: 67.2db 2000 RPM: 78.3db 3000 RPM: 83.3db 4000 RPM: 87.4db 5000 RPM: 93.4db I'll post the PSE levels as well after it's fitted on Wednesday...

POST 5Original post

Mike, I had a 996 C4S with the power upgrade and PSE. At 4,500 rpm at goodwood it measured 106db but only 99db with the quiet button in. So it was OK for both Goodwood and Castle Combe. But make sure the retrofit PSE does have the quiet switch, some I've seen do not. Regards Kevin Cooke PS call me re the handover of the retention cert!

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Kevin! My mind is at rest! I'll call tomorrow when I'm back at work.

POST 8Original post

I didn't even get on the circuit at CC, failed the noise test. Hit nearly 108dB. So a C4S, Fabspeed CAI, BMC F1 filter and PSE is actually a right noisy beast! Damian

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Do you have the cutoff switch?

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Picked up my car yesterday morning and wow... I'm even more of a grinning idiot now! The PSE transforms the car into the car it should have been. I haven't done any sound tests but the switched off PSE sounds very similar to my pre-PSE exhaust. Will report back when I've measured it.

POST 11Original post

It's remarkable how much the PSE elevates the character and stature of the 996, reminding you that this really is a 'supercar'.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
