Hi,
My car is fitted with factory PSE and I can't get enough of that noise! When I had the pre purchase inspection carried out one of things listed was the rear PSE. Boxes are slightly corroded, and one had had a previous repair. Whilst it's not blowing and the guy that did the inspection said it will last a while I'd like to get it sorted. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and whilst it's ok and likely to be for a while I would rather get the few bits on the list sorted so I know the cars mint.
Trouble is I can't bring myself to shed out £3k on an OEN replacement system so need to consider options. I have scoured all second hand and can't find any anywhere, even German eBay etc. I did think aftermarket but would worry it would sound different. I really don't want to lose the own sound and also originality of the car.
Crazy question but is the non PSE boxes the same in principle? Could I buy OFM non PSE boxes, and get an engineering firm to cut the bypass pipes from my existing PSE system and make the non sport boxes switchable? Could this be done or are they different to start with?
