I have heard of guys on here paying just around 2k for it fitted , push hard for a better price :thumb: your spending enough to justify a 15% discount and they can do it. get a better price from one OPC and then get yours to match it. remember some want the work more than others and some groups have a more flexible discount structure ot others,as they are all owned by larger motor groups. :thumb:

OEM PSE vs Hayward Scott

The OP's original dilemma appears resolved.. :thumb:
I just wanted to add that, as far as an OPC warranty is concerned, there is no problem with fitting a centre silencer by-pass until renewal time when it won't pass the required 111 point check.
I have that guaranteed in writing from Porsche GB - for all claims apart from those specific to the exhaust itself.
BTW - H&S is a direct copy of SharkWerks and of course cheaper, but there is never a copy that quite lives up to what it's copying!! :nooo:
I'd go for the original everytime - I'm delighted with mine... :bye:

It's an interesting question, as I took the view that the PSE was a 'must have' option, and then I promptly fitted the H&S rear centre silencer cross pipes for the increased noise/character and the weight saving. I had an after market warranty so the H&S wasn't an issue.
If I didn't have the PSE, I suppose I would have taken the 2500gbp and had a whole new custom exhaust made up.

I managed to get my PSE from OPC Cambridge for £2k.
Then fitted the H&S bypass.
It's great to be able to switch it on and off.
With PSE off it's a good but fairly subtle noise - how it should have sounded from the factory.
With PSE switched on, it's feral :grin:

The certainly do Jon and less than half the cost of the PSE with weight savings and BHP gains .pair that with an H&S you would have a nice set up, stick the header and 200cell single unit on it aswell and you would have "race car"

I had 997.2 with stock exhaust system - which I think we all agree is jut too quiet. My first mod was the H&S bypass which effectively replaces the real silencer with a crossover pipe. It made a slight difference but still not quite loud enough.
I deliberated long and hard about what to do next. I got a quote from local OPC for a full PSE fitted for £2,034 - but ultimately decided to go for the Top Gear stainless steel valved silencers at around £900 (discount may be available) which I wired into the Porsche PSE button on the console (see my other posts for this)
So my end result is Top Gear valved silencers plus H&S centre bypass. Really pleased with it. It is not too loud at all - just the way it should sound. I normally drive with the valve open (loud) but it is quite nice to be able to turn it off on the mornings I leave for work at 06:00 am.
It is the small things that make a difference - and I really love just pushing the button (which has a nice icon of the 997 tailpipes) seeing the LED light up and hearing the exhaust note change - always puts a smile on my face
The overall consensus is that PSE on its own on 997.2 (without the rear silencer bypass) is not worth it
Hope this helps

Thats a nice review from someone who has actually been through the thought process and gone the TG and H&S route , and yes Alex at Topgear will offer 911uk forum members a 10% discount of the list price taking it to around £850
and it works off the PSE button which is perfect :grin: :grin:
combined with the topgear Lifetime you own the car warranty and the fact we now know that it doesnt affect any non exhaust part of the OPC warranty whats not to like

Think it was about a year ago.
They quoted me something similar but I said it had to be under £2k for it to make sense for me, and they came back at £1,999 :grin:
Maybe I got them on a good day, but you can always ask.
Maybe try OPC Hatfield and Silverstone etc to see what they can do?
