I have a 2014 981 S that I owned since 2017. I recently added the PSE (purchased from Suncoast and installed by local dealer) and wow, it is like having a new car! The sounds are amazing. It honestly sounds better than my 2024 911 with PSE. I was not interested in changing the car or any mods, but this is an OEM change with the switch added for the exhaust on the console, so it should only add value. Not that I will ever sell it!

Glad it worked out for you.

25k miles and garage kept. Re-sprayed the top a few weeks back. Not a mark on it.

I also added the PSE system to my Cayman S last summer. Purchased mine from Suncoast and installed it myself. It’s probably one of my favorite updates that I have done to my car.

The next mod I did was a new steering wheel. I hated the oem but wanted to keep the radio controls on the steering wheel which didn’t appear to be an option with the sport wheel. However, I found the solution and now it really feels, looks, and sounds like a new car!

Suncoast won’t sell it for the 981 but Porschemaster will and it’s plug and play! Just chose the options for your car!

Wow. Great minds think alike.
I also installed a Porschemaster steering wheel, but without the radio controls.
