Opinions on Cargraphic secondary bypass for 14 GTS??

Hi all. I'm looking to get a little more sound & grunt out of my 2014 Cayenne GTS. It sounds awesome from factory, I just want more out of it. From the sound clips and from reading here on the forum it seems like the Fabspeed secondary bypass pipes may be too aggressive for my taste. The sound clips remind me of the few modded Cherokee SRT-8's running around town. I'm sure they will sound great, but I'm concerned I will get tired of it, esp on the highway. I still want the GTS to be a little subdued with the flaps closed on the highway. It seemed like the Cargraphic secondary pipes with high-flow cats may be a better option for me where there is more of a differentiation with the flaps open/closed. Unfortunately, I only found one sound clip of the Cargraphic. Can I get some opinions? Thanks!

I was in a similar situation with my GTS. I tried the Fabspeed secondary bypass, but I didn't like the cold startup and overall sound. That's when I tried the Secondary Sport Cats from Cargraphic. It's a good choice if you don't want the full bypass, but are looking for something a littler louder than the stock exhaust.

Here is a quick clip:

Thanks! That exhaust sounds great! It sounds just like stock, but more exaggerated. Would you say the Cargraphic "normal" sounds more like stock "sport" and the Cargraphic "sport" is even louder/beefier?

Couple other questions to whoever can answer: Where can get this exhaust at a good deal? How many hours of labor should it be if I have my dealer install it?

Thanks again!!

I got the sport cats directly from Cargraphic. I paid $1700 with shipping (which is much better than the $2k they have listed on eBay). I had my dealer do the install for $300. The install took some time since they had to wait for the car to cool down before they could do the install.

Overall, I love the sound. It's much louder and more aggressive than the stock exhaust. Another mod I completed was to remove the clip from the exhaust flap to keep the sport exhaust activated at all times. Check out the following thread: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ml#post4463063

Thanks! This is really helpful!

BTW, do you ever get any drone at all? Especially when cruising on the highway with the flaps open?

No, I haven't noticed any drone so far. Also with this mod you can hear the exhaust a little more in the cabin (but you still need use the Sport button to activate the sound symposer).
