Broken PSE muffler - What should I do?

Hi all! I have 03 Cabrio with PSE. Unfortunately one of the mufflers is broken inside and makes a horrible sound. I had this fixed about 6 months ago, but now it is starting to make the same noise again so I am looking into a more final solution. Given this opportunity I would consider going for an aftermarket solution instead of buying a new PSE muffler from Porsche or Carnewal.

Ideally my goals for this "project" are:

1. Keep the PSE button working somehow

2. Have 997-look dual tips (instead of the PSE semi-dual tips) fitted somehow.

Any suggestions?

I personally would have a new muffler installed under warranty and not worry about it. Why wasn't it replaced instead of being repaired? :huh:

Unless there is a reason for keeping the switchable functionality of the PSE, I'd be inclined to go aftermarket. Its likely to be no more expensive and will probably be higher quality than the OEM unit you're relacing. Given the problems you're having with the one side, its fairly likely that the other is living on borrowed time as well. Do you have a decibel restriction that prevents you from using a louder aftermarket system?

I am sure there is a decibel restriction, but it should be no problem in Greece. On the other hand, I like the ability to switch off the loud sound when I want to enjoy a quite drive with the top down.

Just get one that isn't as "loud" as some of the more extreme versions. Mine is aftermarket ( I am told it is a B&B ) and its got a nice growl when I'm on it but its fairly quiet at cruise or putting through the neighborhood.
