I sometimes wish the PSE was on a separate circuit than the sport suspension. I'd probably hit the Sport button more often -- or just leave it on all the time -- if it didn't firm the suspension too.

Do what the rest of us with PASM and the Sport button do--hit the sport button, then hit the PASM button to put PASM back in normal mode.

Annoying, but it'll do what you want.

dealer updated the price: approx. $2,900 including chrome tips($630) plus labor $990.

independent shop(much better response): approx. $2,800 parts including chrome tips and $300 labor.

Thanks for all the feedback.

Vice disconnecting the vacuum lines I read somewhere (too many forums!) that I could disconnect some plug on the engine - anyone have a pic of what it looks like and where it is (987 S engine)?

after thinking on this for a few days I'm starting to shy away from doing it. I can get a whole new 6spd tranny for my harley for that kind of money(say $3,000).

When I think of it in those terms it seems ridiculous for an exhaust which doesn't really deliver appreciable power gains. Geez, I must be getting old.... LOL

I think you've made the right choice. The price for exhaust systems on these cars drives me insane. You should be able to get a whole exhaust system for around $1000, and a cat-back system for even less than that in my opinion!

About two years ago there was one member (either here or... dang I can't remember) that had a 986 and worked for Magnaflow. He had an exhaust done up there that he said sounded great. I would think that a custom fab system like that would be a great way to go, if you were willing to experiment a little.

I'm now in search for the PSE and wants to know if it comes with all the hardware to hook-up the "exhaust button"?

Ekam -

I do believe the button is for '03+ cars, so you should be alright. Do double check though. Mine didn't have a button, it's just hardwired in and opens the bypass valves depending upon speed. Good luck in your search!
