I am VERY interested in this mod... and even at $850, its still hell lot cheaper than the other exhausts for the Cayenne . Any more information that you can provide will be extremely useful.
Oh yes, they also have a limited 1 year / 12,000 miles warranty on those mufflers. =)

What exhaust tip did you choose? Seems like you have the Techart tips with the rear bumper uh? I don't think those will fit on my OEM rear bumper. So Magnaflow is less loud? But isn't Magnaflow a more reliable brand since its more popular? Never heard of Elite... is the Elite full stainless steel? Any signs of rust? ****... I really want it now... I will for sure get it next year... but confused as to which muffler and tip to get.
Maybe Elite with OEM tips? I don't really like their "dual" tip that shows on their website... doesn't seem to fit that nice since it seems that the tips are touching the bumper.
Also... hehehe... where did you get your tailights smoked? How much did you pay? I'd also be interested in this mode. Your ride looks hot as hell... VERY NICE.

Haha.. thx man.. hmm.. yeah the "dual" tip on the Cayenne and CS bumpers look real bad. The easiest and most inexpensive way is to change your lower valence to the "Turbo" valence, that lower valence will let you have a neat dual exhaust look. For mine, I got the Techart Lower valence and diffuser with techart tips.
"So Magnaflow is less loud? But isn't Magnaflow a more reliable brand since its more popular?" Yes,everybody knows about magnaflow mufflers, but I want the "loudness" for my car, besides there is a warranty 12,000 miles/1 year. They will just replace it if there's any problems with it.
As for my taillight, I got them from eurorev. They did a pretty good job. But I kinda regret "smoking" those taillights, I find them looking better without those tints. I forgot how much it cost me, but it should be < $250.

How much "louder" is the Elite muffler? Do you know if its made from stainless steel? Any signs of rust? Was the price for the two mufflers the same or was Elite cheaper...
I really appreciate you answering all my questions... .

Its just the positionong of the mufflers. They showed me some pictures at first of how the mufflers gonna look like, i did not like it(looks like a truck or somethin'). So i asked them if they can spread those mufflers "sideways" will will make them look like techart mufflers. The center piece between the 2 mufflers is just a cut out pipe to cover up the awful looking pipes in between.
That might explain why it looks bigger than the CS's in the web.

Are they able to let me hear the sound of the Magnaflow and the Elite so that I can compare their noise level? Would you say that the Magnaflow is VERY quite, close to stock? Or just a little less loud compared to the Elite? Thanks!
