Loving my PTT but find its exhaust note far too muted considering what's going on under the hood. My other car is a Maserati QP Sport which makes a lovely sound.

I'm thinking of getting an exhaust upgrade but don't want something that will "drone" on the expressway, nor something that will be too 'barky' (unless the exhaust note can be connected to the sport mode somehow).

Anyone got any experience to pass on?

 

Went through a couple of systems and ended up with Akrapovic + wireless. Wife is very happy and I like the fact I can open the second valves.

 

Thanks, sounds perfect.. it's this I assume? (plus the wireless)

We have some great options for you to help keep the 2 of you very happy. I am a phone call or email away regarding any further questions. PM sent

 

I have akrapovic installed on mine as well. Works with OEM PSE button so you don't have to purchase wireless remote.

 

But I don't have PSE... is the wiring there?

 

Downpipes and X-pipe (mid pipe) with OEM mufflers. Most performance gain and wife friendly.

 

Sorry, you're right, I have the wireless system on the Cayenne and Panamera works with the PSE button, good catch!

 

Yes, I agree with this recommendation but would clarify that replacement 200cell sport cats should go with the downpipes as the stock 700 cell cats are a major restriction with the stock set up. Add a good ecu program to match and you'll be rocking
600hp with a nice exhaust note.

 

Check out our Tubi system for the Panamera Turbo.

Our owner currently drives a PTT with the Tubi system on it...and he is probably one of the most scrutinizing and picky people you'll ever meet. If it didn't sound perfect inside the cabin, he would have made us change the design already.

this is best set up, best performance upgrade, good sound and best bang for the buck. and if you have the sport exhaust mufflers your realize those bad boys are $3500!! so dont throw them away!!

went with Fabspeed and very happy

 

correct and good clarification as would have assumed that was what he was talking about.
but more importantly esp for CA is that the 200 cell cat gives a great performance upgrade, turbo spool and sound but YOU DO NOT have to flash the ECU to prevent a CEL (check engine light)

so people like me who have a PTTS and do the above exhaust upgrade, throw in a BMC air filter and IPD plenum and you will be rocking about 600 ponies even WITHOUT an ECU flash!

and above is my current set up...

 

Tom what is your opinion on utilizing a IPD vs. AP Y-pipe?

 

I'm not Tom But I can share my experience. I actually got the AP carbon Y-pipe and while contacting 3 separate well known vendors (PM me and I can email you the vendors' name) about tune and installation. All of them advised against the AP pipe on their quality and fit. I was a bit concern with CF cracking when use over time. The tuner even warned me about the less pressure with bigger pipe (bigger is not always better). In the end, I return the AP and got the IPD.

 

I know I that was directed towards Tom Kerr :-)
