Macan S - Sports Exhaust

PSE best feature, the Off button.

Stick your foot down in a non PSE S and you will get the engine growling.

Look at it another way the £1700 you spend on PSE is a year’s motoring cost.

Button for sports exhaust and heated seats are easily most used buttons for me.
Would always spec it.

My mates Gen2 GTS sounds just the same as the Gen3 version I test drove and that is same engine config as current S if that helps…

Agreed. Sport Mode (with PSE), heated steering wheel, heated seat and go!

It depends, if you want to ride in stealth mode, then no need for PSE. However, if you want to get your hair stand on your neck, PSE is a feature.

I wouldn’t have a Porsche without PSE. Then rather get a Tesla (where is Petersky when you need him)?

Chilly winter days, pano roof fully open, heater on full blast and PSE in full chorus

… unless you are blasting down a motorway.

Imo the sound from my Macan ll Turbo is pretty poor even with the valves open, far too quiet. And with them shut, at idle I've even had to check the stop/start hasn't kicked in at traffic lights.
Wonder if the standard exhaust is tuned the same a closed valve PSE, or valve open PSE.
This may have been covered through the thread, I best check really

I'm sure I haven't seen such a comparison in the couple if years since I signed up.
