On my 4S before I fitted the switch I used to run it loud, definitely felt faster until I had an ear infection, suddenly the car was slow again.

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.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Outcome without a verified action link

For my own part, I've noticed no difference at all to drive in either power or fuel economy.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

RE: Performace / BHP Gains - 996 OPC Sports Exhaust? Hi All, Im new to the site so sorry if this has been covered recently or in the past! I recently bought a 996 C2 with the Switchable PSE fitted. I love this extra and was wondering do you know if the extra breathing would improve power on the standard 320bhp 3.6ltr engine ? Some friends have suggested a possible rise of 10bhp over the stock system but I would be interested in your views. Thanks 2003 996 C2

POST 2Original post

According to reports all it does is sound glorious, therefore all you want to do is put your foot down harder, therefore making you go faster, therefore giving your butt dyno a higher reading...

POST 3Original post

There was a post on PCGB forum from some guy who dyno'd his car with a PSE and found it produced less power than standard, particularly in 'quiet' mode. For my own part, I've noticed no difference at all to drive in either power or fuel economy. But the main thing is it does sound utterly fab which is worth at least 30bhp! 8)

POST 4Original post

Sounds like BS to me, the PSE in 'quiet' is just the same as the standard exhaust, open it might, just might bring a few BHP gains but not something to write home about.

POST 5Original post

It sounds about 100bhp more powerful but in reality I doubt if it makes any difference.

POST 6Original post

On my 4S before I fitted the switch I used to run it loud, definitely felt faster until I had an ear infection, suddenly the car was slow again. Explain that!

POST 7Original post

It's all in your head dear boy, All in your head :wink:

POST 8Original post

Phew! I was worried that as you get older your hearing is proportional to the speed of your car. This assumption was almost right until your valuable insight Dave proved it to be erroneous! My initial thoughts were based on Sundeep being deaf

POST 9Original post

So glad to have been able to assist you. If you have any other questions or worries please feel free to contact me

POST 10Original post

On my 997S the PSE is not supposed to provide any increase in BHP according to Porsche. Some have said that you get a few more BHP but I don't believe this to be true. Having said this with the X51 kit you get the PSE as well so it "might" help with gas flow and assist the engine in producing more power if used in conjunction with other power upgrades...
