Pondering my options for a new 2.9 - can't afford much but the switchable Sports Exhaust is very tempting. Does anyone have this? What do you think?
derek sharp did indeed have 2 caymans !!and then a 997 cab-he is awaiting aftermarket fit of PSE to that,so presume he thnks it will be better than the one on the cayman gen 1!!!ORIGINAL: milleman I seem to recall that a chap called Sharpe(?) had one on a Cayman a while ago, he didnt rate it when compared to one on a 996. Think he bought a 997 Cab. He posted his thoughts in Porsche Post. Have a Cayman myself, would love to hear one with PSE to see if its worth buying. Tried a Tubi setup which was bloody awfull in my opinion.
This chap Sharp (note the spelling), did have PSE on a Cayman. It was rubbish.ORIGINAL: milleman I seem to recall that a chap called Sharpe(?) had one on a Cayman a while ago, he didnt rate it when compared to one on a 996. Think he bought a 997 Cab.

What was wrong with the very expensive Tubi option?[&o] Same question to Derek Re: PSE [:-]ORIGINAL: milleman Tried a Tubi setup which was bloody awfull in my opinion.
F***in noisy.all the time.nearly blew my head off[What was wrong with the very expensive Tubi option?
Brilliant - many thanks for that - it sounds exactly what I'm afterORIGINAL: slapshot I have the factory fitted Porsche Sports Exhaust on my '08 Cayman S. Here are sound clips of it in 'quiet' and 'open' modes. .WAV audio file of the PSE exhaust [link=http://www.well.ox.ac.uk/~tim/boxster/pse-off.wav]DE-ACTIVATED[/link] (2.2MB) .WAV audio file of the PSE exhaust [link=http://www.well.ox.ac.uk/~tim/boxster/pse-on.wav]ACTIVATED[/link] (2.8MB) I love it, but I'm thinking of changing it for a Borla catback exhaust (see [link=http://www.borla.com/applications/lookup.aspx/2008/Porsche/Cayman/SStainless_Steel_Cat-Back_System_Aggressive/12653/).]http://www.borla.com/applications/lookup.aspx/2008/Porsche/Cayman/SStainless_Steel_Cat-Back_System_Aggressive/12653/).[/link] If anyone's interested in taking the PSE of my hands let me know!
Obviously unlike the PSE on a 996 that blasted past me today sounding very "rude" [ORIGINAL: dyllan Same question to Derek Re: PSE [:-] derek thought pse was hardly any improvement over standard exhaust(on cayman s).he should know-he`s had them on several porsches now!![]
By the way Dyllan, your facts are incorrect. I am not awaiting aftermarket fit of PSE. My 997 PDK Cab has gone. The build date for my new 997 PDK Cab is this month. It will have PSE. I have heard it on another 997 and it sounds great. But you were correct about Cayman; hardly any difference. This was put down to the fact that it is a totally different exhaust to the 911. Mind you, it might be much better on a Cayman S Gen 2.ORIGINAL: dyllan derek sharp did indeed have 2 caymans !!and then a 997 cab-he is awaiting aftermarket fit of PSE to that,so presume he thnks it will be better than the one on the cayman gen 1!!!
That's been the problem with most after market boxes since day one back in 1996 starting with the Boxsters of course [ORIGINAL: milleman Tried the Tubi, had an awfull, head ache inducing resonance between 1800-3000 RPM,
Gain a bit of boot space by leaving this off. Could help pay for the side graphics. [ORIGINAL: telford_mike Rear wiper
I read that it gives a revised throttle-map. As you say - questionable value at 500 quid, and it may well get removed from my list to fund some exterior bling. Need to find prices for the Tecquipment bits - is there a catalogue with prices online anywhere? Not a massive fan of leather tbh, especially at Porsche prices. Wife has it in her Boxster and I think I prefer the alcantra Recaros in my current car.ORIGINAL: spyderman What does Sport Chrono give you with a manual gearbox and no PASM? Other than the daft clock? Is it really worth the money?
