am I the only one that preferred it before all the appearance mods?
No. Another NJ Cayenne owner who really doesn't like a lot of "mods" people do to their Porsche. A lot of them remind me of slapping a Vtec emblem on the back of a Corrola.
My definition of a "fully modded" would be engine work to max potential without replacement, full exhaust, add every missing option, etc....
Do you have a list of mods? Don't get me wrong, it looks awesome. I really dig the all backout.
Thread is under construction like mentioned

It sounds so nice very aggressive but only maybe 25% louder then a GTS I think

Do you still have the modified pcm?
I still have the modified PCM somewhere. Both car plays function and act exactly the same you retain a couple menu screens with the OEM PCM but nothing you need I’ll try and get a picture of the Tesla Style screen showing you which menu options remain.

I don’t think this one at all should remind of that, technically the 21in wheels are OEM, all performance mods are based on the 4.8 GTS tune and fabspeed pipe and custom exhaust are great, tail lights are GTS OEM, headlights are the quad LED lights I’ve been thru 3 different sets of muffler tips and the black trunk strip is OEM. The Tesla Screen is much more current then our old screen.
my my biggest regret is the yellow calipers I should have listened to you in one of my other threads.
what I will be doing is upgrading the front rotors n calipers to 390mm and then taking my current front calipers and rotors and putting them on the rear.
I like all the mods. Looks better than stock. Not entirely sure about the sound, I'd have to hear it in person. As is usual with exhaust videos, probably doesn't do it justice. The tablet addition is a little funky.
However, what I didn't like, is the ridiculous video chasing the Ferrari. Racing around in traffic to do a ricer flyby in a vehicle that's not fast in any way is utterly pointless and childish. /rant

Agree completely on the video.
The exhaust is full custom. Fabspeed downpipes with a new muffler system which was way to loud when it was new, - I didn’t waste time letting it break in so I cut into the fabspeed pipes and added dual HiFlo resonators by welding them on and now it sounds fantastic.
The Screen is great for navigation and YouTube and fits perfectly.

Glad to hear that. They really should be red.. that would be fine with the 390mm front setup - just like a turbo has if it doesn't have ceramic rotors. I'll be curious how it works out putting the front calipers/rotors on the rear. I can't say I can recall anyone doing that. I think you should stay in touch with Petza..
BTW - another forum (BMW the M3Forum) had a very strict rule against any street racing videos after we had a kid kill himself making one. Any that appeared were immediately deleted and the poster got dinged an infraction. We (AFAIK) don't have that policy here, but posting public street racing videos is really not a good thing, nor is public street racing (although I'll admit to once in while being the first away from a light by several car lengths in the Porsche and many tractor-trailer lengths on my bike.. but once I get to NJ nominal cruising speed* I'll happily set back and let whoever wants to pass me do so.)
* = NJ Nominal Cruising Speed - that speed at which an LEO doesn't turn his head when you go by (unless you own an Imola RED M3 convertible.. 50mph in a 45? Com'on..) The white Cayenne is great - raised the NJ Nominal by about 5MPH, LEO's figure it's a soccer mom.. Generally the NJ Turnpike has the highest NJ Nominal.. about 85 indicated (83 actual according to GPS), Garden State 2nd place at around 80MPH for most of it.
Loving the mods. I have done something very similar with my 958. I have a couple questions for you.
What tune did you go with?
Whose air filter did you use?
Was it hard to install those headlights?
I have the fabspeed cat delete, tubi exhaust system, painted my calipers yellow, quad black tips. It is and to see them in the picture. I am going to paint my S yellow.
Love the mods and glad to see someone customising the car to what they like. I have a ‘15 CS with a ton of options- but I still think there are things I want to improve fix etc. Honestly many times dealer work is shoddy- I’m constantly pointing things out even at several well known dealers, so it’s great to see how others fix things- taking the time to do it right. Great build!
Too many owners have no clue but to click on ordering options and drive it to the dealer for even the simplest things. I can do the same with my $$ but prefer the zen of working with my hands like I did as a teenager when I could not afford to pay a mechanic. Now it’s enjoyable and satisfying..
