Just checked with Mid Sussex and they have confirmed they do not offer wheel and tyre protection, sadly.

Sports exhaust would be a must for me now the S has that engine and I've retrofitted it on a Cayman before which is more costly.
I should add I have the mind of a child and the burbles make me smile.

You've just bothered them on their busiest day for something they would know doubt have tried to flog you nearer the time of the car actually arriving anyway ! :o :shock:

As per my post elsewhere on here I would be inclined to agree with that !

Me too. Both of my 911s have had Porsche Sports Exhaust. I’m a child at heart too, and love the burbles & crackles from the PSE. I have my 911 T in Sport mode nearly all of the time, as I also love the auto-blip of the throttle on down changes.

I agree that on a cold morning start up, a car without PSE will sound just as noisy as a car with PSE, regarding potentially annoying the neighbours.

I do the same - Sport mode and manual 90% of the time

Just a random thought, but I wonder, if by being in Sport most of the time, am I getting the car to work harder in cooling the oil. I wonder this, as I’m told that the heat exchanger for the oil cooler needs replacing on my 911 T, being the cause of the coolant leak. I notice that the oil temperature runs quite a bit lower in Sport mode, compared to Normal mode. Maybe being in Sport mode for most of 35,000+ miles has worn out that part?! 🤔

Had the extra cost chrome exhaust tips on my SD, to set off better against the Rhodium silver paintwork, and they were as good as new at 3yrs old.

My GTS came as tandard with the black crome finish plus PSE and 16 months on still look brand new.

Pretty sure that’s what they are paid to do. Poor souls, being asked a sales question by a client when they are at work. What ever next? Hopefully it’s not too much trouble for them.

I would like the PSE but to be honest I’m struggling to justify the £1700 for some pops and bangs. On a 911 then defo but on a SUV not as vital for me.
Is it still worth having the sports chrono without the PSE? They don’t work better together so to speak?
