We went for it on ours untested

It was one regret of not having it on the 981 (which we couldn’t do anyway as it was an early one)

I was also told that the GPF may make it quieter so it might help with that

... it just will not be as loud as an S with PSE.
....but surely that’s the point?

The point is also that for £1600 PSE is just not good VFM.

The increase in noise level that I have experienced with PSE has not been that great in fact the drone at constant speed resonates within the car very badly.

In the Turbo I had PSE on floored it then switched it off, and the growl reduced but not by that much. I then repeated the other way round and the same result.

PSE is greatly overrated hence Imho £1600 would be better spent on other extras.

No argument that it is expensive and offers no gain in performance...(although ‘FOC” on my GTS......)

but your views have changed slightly Col.....even if you didn’t finally go through with the order...

After my drive yesterday of a TURBO which had PSE fitted I am resurrecting this thread.
Accelerating hard (full throttle) with PSE switched off and window open did not produce much sound.
Accelerating hard (full throttle) with PSE switched on gave a pleasant sound which I liked hence if I do go through with the Turbo order I am considering adding it.

And Col, you haven't answered the question I asked a while ago. What do base your assertion on that there is a 'speaker attached to the bodywork'?

It's £1700. Based on the S test car, I'm glad I spec'd it :D

Have PSE on mine as it came within the Turbo exterior pack at the time, it’s not at all as my previous Boxster and 911 both with normally aspirated engine set ups,they sounded great. Unfortunately the Macan doesn’t come close and having to open the window to hear it! Well just a little bit sad really, but I still do it in tunnels and car parks 😉

^^^ Having a Remus exhaust box and a few other modifications in July. ;) And yes, it does work in conjunction with the PSE on/off switch. You only live once. :twisted: :lol:
