My 2002 had PSE mufflers fitted but not the switch from new (I think switchable was a later option).

With Damians help I fitted the PSE switch last summer - but was never convinced I was getting quiet mode!
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.

how much to have one of these fitted onto my 2003 targa? I assume they sound much better (i.e. louder :food: ) than the standard exhaust?
is this a PSE or just the mufflers that make the car sound louder.......

Im thinking the same way and found this thread very helpful.

I emailed autodienst today and asked them if this was essentially a PSE without switch gear and this is the response I got:-
"hello
that are the same mufflers like you have got now in your car
we modify them with a bypass
porsche modifies them with a bypass and a valve
thats all
the valve mufflers are opened and closed by underpressure
electric is for switching underpressure equipment"
So in essence it seems to be pretty much the PSE without the whistles and bells.
One comment I'd make about having switchable PSE having spent a fruitful afternoon dismanlting the rear end of my car to free up the valves in my PSE is the contrast with it on and off.
Not suprising you might say - but to explain.
My 2002 had PSE mufflers fitted but not the switch from new (I think switchable was a later option).
The reason being that for legaslitive reasons the PSE had to switch to quiet mode between 30-45mph or something like that, hence the vacum acctuated valves even though there was no dash switch.
With Damians help I fitted the PSE switch last summer - but was never convinced I was getting quiet mode!
Hence this weekend took it all apart and discovered the valves on both sides were siezed open - so always in loud mode :evil:
Anyway fixed that and now the switch does what it should and goes into stealth mode when pressed.
...And my point...got there in the end.... - its like having 2 cars in one, loud mode is quite agressive - fun when you are on it. But quiet mode makes for a far more relaxing drive.
Apart from the always on issue with the aftermarket mufflers you may also have noise issues at some track days - I believe PSE in loud mode is borderline at some tracks - so switchable removes that worry.
Just points to bear in mind - gleened on my voyage through getting my PSE to finally work as intended.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
