PSE for 987 Owners!!!

Thank you, Houston!

bmuss, the first physics resonance definition is more relevant for this case.

"Physics: The increase in amplitude of oscillation of an electric or mechanical system exposed to a periodic force whose frequency is equal or very close to the natural undamped frequency of the system."

So when resonance happens with most aftermarket exhausts it usually causes mechanical vibrations, as well (in addition to the air-borne waves i.e. amplified sound). IMO, that's what really makes them undesirable to people who dislike them. Designing an acoustical system is not unlike designing an electic RLC circuit, and is far from trivial. Hence, the top $ demanded by Porsche for their smooth sounding PSE. Those engineers have mortgages to pay.

Super66, it sounds like you're describing the 986 PSE, which looks very cool imnsho.

Great photo, SD987...where did you get it? I like the Porsche crest on the rear trunk lid.

Super66, that is an entire exhaust system, not just tips. And that PSE won't fit on the 987. Looks great, though!

Psst!

You can buy other tips from Tequipment right now. They
will fit any 987 Boxster, including the base model and the PSE.

I think they call them "Sport Tips." (Odd, eh?)



That's what I did.

They look quite good, in my ever so humble opinion.

Best,
