What is the cost for the Porsche "solution?"

I don't know the prices in the US. Please take the part numbers from the photos and ask your local Porsche dealer.

Over here in Germany the Porsche IMSB set is less than the comparable LN IMSB, which has to be imported – so there are customs fees, taxes and shipping that don't have to be paid for the Porsche IMSB solution.

Also we have other manucfacturers for IMSB solutions Made in Germany which are less than the LN products. So from a price point the LN products are not attractive.

It looks like the cost for those two Porsche part numbers (if I read them correctly) is around $600 +/- depending on where you source them (in the US).

Hey y'all:
so My new-to-me '03 986 S - has 140k+ miles on it. It arrived to me a couple of weeks ago, and I've only put about 30 miles on it so far, because I really want to go through it before I drive it around a lot. But I jumped in it this afternoon for a quick spin to the supply house. When I started it up, I heard a "chirp - chirp" which could also be a "squeal - squeal" that lasted about 15 seconds, repeating every 2 seconds-ish. Then quickly went away.
When I first heard it, it made me think throwout bearing. but when it went away.... I went "uhoh..."

Is this a typical IMS sound?

waddy'all think?
