I don't know guys, I upgraded to the PSE and although it sounds nice, I was rather disappointed in it. I am desnorked but don't have the fabspeed headers or bypass pipes. Maybe that's the key to loudness but geez it would be a small fortune for all of that just to make some noise. I thought just the PSE and I would be good to go, but alas, it wasn't so.

I'm waiting for someone to install aftermarket electric cut-outs. Cheaper, and you can set the butterfly to any position from fully closed to full open. You would just need to find a location for the control switch. You could even pipe them in as a PSE type system.

The first PSE was never really meant to be “loud”, but rather more “throaty” in its sound (Europe had stringent noise level limits, particularly Switzerland). One thing it does not do is create the annoying and headache inducing drone most aftermarket systems do.

What are they getting used? I would sell mine, it is in great shape on a low milage car and an OEM unit.

Original PSE's go for quite a lot used. $1200 and up on eBay.
