I Ordered the PSE Today!!!
 

I ordered the Porsche Sport Exhaust today from Phil Coy at Sunset Porsche. I will have it installed by Porsche Motor Werks in Barrington hopefully the week of April 16th.

:dance:

Alright Bill!!!!! Take some pics after its installed.

Dude, it won't look any different. It will use my stock chrome "S" tip. But the sound should. :)

How much does is installation going to cost?

oops. i guess i need a sound clip then :o

I called every Porsche dealership in the Chicago area...about 5. And prices were all over the board. Some places had the nuts to tell me 10 hours at over $130/hour! :eek:

Labor will be about $500.

Five large? It's an easy job, then again I have a lift.

You must really want that exhaust on then,I hope you enjoy it!

Dr., define easy?

It will take at least 3 hours. And my car will be the first one they have ever done. So it may be closer to 4 hours. The installation directions for the PSE are 17 pages long!

Luckily I have Sport Chrono, or else it would take another 1-2 hours to install wiring to a switch in the center dash area. They will tie into the Sport Chrono function through the DME.

Are you replacing the headers too? Maybe I misunderstood, sorry. The exhaust only is a fairly simple plug & play. The muffler has splined clamps that some people cut off in frustration, I reused mine. It sounds like the muffler you picked has a more advanced set up as you mentioned a link to the sport chrono. In either case, enjoy the new note, if the finished product is anything like my sport muffler you will particularly enjoy top down, high RPM noises, the sound is fantastic.

Doc, can you bring your lift to Chicago!

Hey bmuss, where did you order your PSE?

Also, if you don't mind me asking how much was it?

Chills, I ordered it from Sunset Porsche (www.sunsetporsche.com).

Again, pricing was all over the board, ranging from $1,934-$2,640! Dealer cost is right at $1,435.

Plus, you got mail!

nice man, cant wait to see it in person,
and plus u need to give me a ride in you car

DJ, I like you man, I might even let you drive it! Let's work a trade. Will you take a picture of my car while I am driving around a cure at TOD? I want the car crisp, the wheels and background blurry! And a big grin on my face like this guy:

:D :D :D

Thanks, Bill. You've got mail, now. ;)


I think we all should get together and have DJ take pictures of each of us racing by in our Boxsters. Big grin and all.

What do you say, DJ?

Bill,

As I told you the other day.

Get your ears ready for a great day!

Think 60% of a Carrera GT!

And let us know...

- Mark

Congratulations, now if I am not mistaking then this should not net you any power gains, correct? From what I understand I think this will make a great difference in sound quality though.

-aren

id be down for some moving shots, we all need to get together and have a photoshoot.

im not gonn be going to TOD, doing an autocross and blackhawk that week/weekend with the girl, and plus its my bday on the 7th

wow new Porsche parts for under $1500? Those guys at Sunset must be doing allot of volume.

I'll let you guys know once B gets it installed, I'm about 15 minutes from that shop and should be able to hear him driving home :D

I wonder how long it will be before cars come with a mike at the exhaust, feeding sound into the stereo via a DSP unit that has both pre-set and customizable digital sound "enhancers". The DME would also feed in rpm input to make the color and intensity of the sound rpm-dependent for a whole spectrum of exhaust sounds to match any mood. Come to think if it, forget the exhaust mike. The rpm input would be enough, and the DSP synthesizer would take it from there. And for those also interested in the outside world hearing their creation: outward facing speakers strategically positioned near the exhaust. Any buyers?
Z.

Aren, you are 100% correct. But, I may get a little in the "Derriere Dino"! :)

NO...I think PCNA is getting a huge profit margin. :(

Congratulations!!!




Please, please, PLEASE post a sound clip when it's on.




On cold, rainy nights...when I'm in my bedroom all by myself.. I find myself wandering to youtube & browsing the net to find Porsche exhaust notes.


As I let them lull me to sleep, my hand mysteriously migrates down my pants.

^
very disturbing :)

I 2nd that

I 3rd that!!!!!!!

Baloney. You all are just as guilty.



:mad:

Are you going to TOD? I don't want to seem unfriendly if I don't shake your hand :D

Where's our sound clip??? Before/after is necessary!

Hey Todd, that will be in a future post titled, "I Got the PSE Installed Today"!!

I hope to get it done the week of April 16th if the parts arrive soon. Then I need to learn how to make & post a sound clip. :(

If you get a digital sound clip (mp3, etc.) email it to me and I will post it to our server, and then give you the link.

dont give the soundclip to Todd, he'll include some xxx rated stuff on it, you never know what well end up hearing hehehehe ;)

I promise I won't use the xxx audio files you sent me - you told me they were for my ears only and I respect that.

hahaha, good one

Am I reading this right? :D :D :D
