Good job Rob, much easier to work on too. A/C is over-rated anyway.

Here was today's project -- PSE for the 986S. I got a good deal on it from a 986forum member, however it is missing the electric actuators so I have the bypass valves wired open.

It sounds good. A bit deeper bass at idle and a nice wail as you run up the revs. At part throttle it is barely louder than original. No resonance like the aftermarket exhaust I tried a few months ago.

Main drawback is weight -- this is one solid/heavy muffler.
