I agree with you john, i have had straight pipes the PSE hack and now maxspeed, of them all I liked the PSE hack the most.

I am now considering a PSE hack on my maxspeed muffler

Can you explain the hack? Got pix?

I have a factory muffler that I'd like to try this on because the muffler I got from Che is giving me headaches with all the drone/cabin resonance between 2-3k rpm.

This is a great little hack.

I ran a pipe I think 1 inch, that bypassed the muffler.
So some of the exhaust gasses ran around the muffler and where un muffled. SO the sound is louder.

This is my video of the PSE on an unmodified 2.5

Here is a link showing the directions for this hack:
http://www.ppbb.com/boards/ppbbphp/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=ARCHIVES&Number=1067764&Forum=ARCHIVES&Words=pedro%20sport%20exhaust&Match=Entire%20Phrase&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Old=1year&Main=1067764&Search=true#Post1067764

Out of all of the muffler systems for the 2.5 I have heard the Pedro SE is my favorite. The only reason I removed it is that I placed the tips from my straight pipes on my oem muffler and the tips looked like ass. I came across a great deal on a maxspeed muffler and jumped on it.

The maxspeed muffler is too quiet for me....I guess something about have turboes inline makes the exhaust quieter. Since its quiet for my taste I will work on a new muffler hack.

Back to the question at hand. The PSE is a great simple $100 hack. I would try it before spending any money on a muffler.

Power gains...possible but do it for the sound.

I think the hack idea is worth trying. However, I got the Dansk and am pretty happy with it. Not as loud as some of the others out there. Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't Porsche use Dansk as a supplier? The exhaust almost looks like the PSE but without the funky tips. Dansk also offers the PSE OEM tips on their exhausts as well.

Having said that, I still think there is "some" resonance on my exhaust at the lower RPM levels. Especially when I compare it to my friends factory PSE on his 02 Carrera.
