Default Replacing base exhaust?

I received my new Macan 3 months ago and I regret not getting the sports tailpipes (twin dual-tube tailpipes). Is it possible to replace the stainless steel base rectangular exhaust with the black sports tailpipes?

Yes, very easy to do, aftermarket tips are available from Amazon and Ebay. Just make sure you get the version that fits 2019 and onward Base Macans.
I installed the below tips on my 2019, fits perfectly, good quality part.

Tip for installation: the assembly came with the pipe clamp bolt nut facing upwards from the seller, made it very awkward to tighten the clamp. Turn the bolt 180 degrees around, so the nut faces downwards, making tightening much easier.

Thanks for the link. Can I still buy the sports tailpipes directly from the Porsche dealership I bought the car from? Also I have the 2023 model.

Yes, or Suncoast parts. The OE sport tips run $800 to $900. Same as if you ordered that way.

How would I install them? This is what my Macan’s exhaust looks like…

Loosen the screws holding the rectangular tips on, then pull straight back to remove.
Install the new tips, tighten the clamping bolt.

I bought the black ones above and they really are great and OEM looking.

I also recently bought these brushed ones that are a slightly different profile to match the OEM Macan S shape. They have more of a thin, single wall design which I happen to like a bit more than a thick double wall design.

I like them a lot although my diffuser is going back in for a darker gloss grey color so I may switch back to black.
