anyway, I still like the kreissieg better...I will try to post some information about it when I get mine...keep posted.

If you hear the newer PSEs in person (the ones for the 987), it is actually pretty good. Nice throaty sound, and no annoying drone in the cabin. Granted, it does not scream as loud and ferocious as the Kreissieg exhaust does (which makes the Boxster sound like a Ferrari), but some may prefer the car to sound more like a Porsche (and not a Ferrari), which the PSE does accomplish. If you can afford the Kreissieg, I say go for it, and let us know how you like it. Hopefully, it will not exhibit the same sort of annoying, ear deafening drone that so many aftermarket exhausts have.

A forum member I know has a 987 3.4 with the PSE on it. Sounds great at idle, under hard acceleration, but when he's decelerating at speed on the track (coming off a 125 mph straightaway into a sharp turn) the PSE just hisses loudly.

... which infuriates him considering he paid $2200 extra for it.

I tell you what though, if I shelled out $6 large for an exhaust system for a boxster, the dadgum thing should make my motor sing and have zero resonance. Period. And I would demand the manufacturer and reseller put that in writing and guarantee to pay for the de-installation and shipping back to the seller as well as a complete refund.

I bet if you wait 12-18 months, that exhaust system will cost no more than $3k, which is what happens with everything it seems.

finally ordered the Kreissieg exhaust for my boxster, now waiting for its delivery...will keep the group informed.

Don't forget to post pics and videos!

You make me feel a lot better to fork out the $ for PSE in spring time.

Wow. I'm very interested to see how this turns out.

I have an AWE exhaust on my car and am considering going to a valved unit instead to get rid of the drone factor between 2500-3000 RPM that all of the non-valved aftermarket exhausts reveal. PSE is too tame and the only other option I knew of is the Capristo system.

Now, the Capristo one is a full exhaust system including headers, and for the same price as this offering from Kreissieg, but the install is a bit untidy and I'm not sure if Capristo has fixed some of their fitment issues. While I can't see spending $6500 on a cat-back system only, I'd love to hear how it turned out for you.

I know why this is so expensive... this is Japanese ********************!

I can see a lot of people spending $6k on exhaust for a ferrari/lambo but for a boxster I'm not so sure.

See, I KNEW I should've bought a Ferrari--the Kreissieg exhaust for the F355 is only $3,798.99!
