The exhaust is very quiet (except on a rich mixture on a cold start) - is a £2.5k retro fit sports exhaust worth it?
Here is a clip of our Turbo with PSE when warm with blips to 4,000 rpm. We too bought the car as approved used, but I think that I would spec the PSE if buying new. However not sure I would pay £2,500 for a retrofit, depends how long you wish to keep the car as well, to benefit from it.
(seems embedding a video clip here does not work for me)
Enjoy the car, it is lovely!
Our stable:

Those crackles do come in handy as a kind of discrete car horn.
Even at 5mph, lift of the throttle and you get a little crackle, warning pedestrians that you are coming.
Used to have 2016 Macan Turbo PHCKCL70
Previously a 2014 Macan Turbo.
Now a 2021 Tesla Model 3 LR

Ha ha - I've seen that safety argument used to justify 'race cans' on motorcycles! It does help to warn cars that you are filtering past them in traffic!

That is a valid argument indeed! And it works!

Nice! Thanks for sharing, Semerka. Makes me even more tempted to retro-fit PSE on my Panamera 4. Shame there's a delay and it can't be done until early 2018...

We debated PSE long and hard but it put a smile on Mrs P's face every time we accelerated hard with PSE on so we finally decided to add it, at £1700. Not sure I'd pay £2,500 to add it to a three year old car, unless you are planning to keep it forever.
