i talked to a couple different buddys of mine and said these are not real.

What do you guys think?

also if these are not legit what is out there to help the performance?
thx!

 

I wouldn't trust those at all. Either way, there isn't a whole lot more performance you can get out of a naturally aspirated V8. You can get an exhaust and a real ECU tune from a reputable tuner, but the gains are not going to be all that noticeable.

 

I wouldnt use those if you paid me....well unless you paid me a lot.

 

How much horse/gains. Would I receive from the ecu tune?

 

which Pan do you have? I have a variety of exhaust components that wake the NA cars up, and an ECU upgrade that turns the turbo variants into an ANIMAL.

 

V6 standard panamera

 

I suggest that you check on the mechanical specifics of your V6. If it's similar to the V8, the engines have been modified relative to the Turbos by changing various mechanical features. As a result they may not be able to sustain significant power boosts, and little boosts are a waste of money and effort.

 

That is going to be tough. How about a 50 shot of nitrous or sell it and get an EVO with power upgrades. Seriously, that is why they make a V8 and a turbo version.....for guys that want more than 300bhp.

 

Just enjoy your car and keep it on the sport setting for best performance. I think fiddling around with the V6 is not going to gain much in performance. IMO mods are not the way to go on this car.

 

I'd save your money when it comes to modding a V6 Pan.....but that's just my .02

 

i had a good laugh after reading this. i like how everyone thought he had v8 (s model)

 

I don't want the poster to think that his V6 is being disrespected.. The V6 is still a Porsche Panamera with great handling and reasonably quick everyday performance...

My suggestion is to stop trying to turn it into something else than what it is, or trade it for a V8 or Turbo.

 

I gotten spoiled with my Turbo. Now I want even more speed/Power.

 

The turbo is quite responsive to tuning, I hear.
