Smile Pedros PSE mod done!

Thanks to blueillusion, I finally have the Pedros PSE mod done to my boxster!!!

It sounds so good. The growl is something else, I LOVE how in the city streets its got a nice aggressive growl and then i can barely notice the sound from the exhaust on the freeway ride home so i dont get a headache!

I have to find a way to record the sound and post it.

Way to go CJ ... can't wait to hear it if you can get some audio going.

Any chance of some pics?

Congratulations!
Glad you're happy with the hack.
Post some pics.
What diameter pipes did you use?

Here's my recording: http://www.pedrosgarage.com/0-125.mp3
Zero to 125 mph.

Happy Boxstering,
Pedro

Thanx for the credit CJ! I think we should make a video at the 11th meet. We can include both cars, what do you think?

It's a '98, 2.5L and the PSE (Pedro Sport Exhaust).
I also have the TechnoFlo (Hi-Flo Air Intake), Headers and my rev limiter kicks in at 7100 rpm.

Happy Boxstering,

These sound clips never reproduce the sound correctly. You've got to hear these exhaust systems live on the same type of car that you have. Maybe it's just me but it makes the engine sound like a motorcycle engine.

Pedro PSE done

Did the mod in my home shop in about 3 hours from start to finish. Love the new sound. My wife says it is too loud but she can continue to ride in her Mercedes. Everyone else that has heard it loves it also. No gain in hp though but who cares it sounds like it is 100hp better.
