Sport Exhaust option - should I?

[Bob Z.]

One final question - I may get a regular Boxster vice the S model - what kind of sound difference would the PSE do for that one? I assume that the stock exhaust on the regular Boxster and S sound different so each with the PSE probably sound different as well. But I wonder if the PSE on the regular model would be worth the coin.

The sound will be the virtually the same.

I've ridden and driven a friend's 987 with the PSE and it's got a wonderful throaty sound that's deep and has minimal resonance (like none compared to my aftermarket dual chamber muffler from Che).

I will most certainly insure my next Pcar has it on there when I buy it or very shortly thereafter.

Trying to get that sound without resonance or cabin "howl" with aftermarket equipment is nearly impossible IMO.

I also see that I can get chrome exhaust tips with the PSE option - what do the stock tips with the PSE look like/made out of? $325 for chrome tips seems high albeit most of the options are pretty pricy.

The 987S exhaust tip is the same on both the stock exhaust and the PSE. The chrome tip is very nice and worth the money IMHO!

Here is the Chrome Tip (option code #XLA):

As much as no one wants to pay for it, I think the factory PSE is the only way to get a throaty sound out of these cars without dealing with resonance issues.
