Default Sport Exhaust System including Sport Tailpipes

Sport Exhaust System including Sport Tailpipes

I'm considering this as an option on a Macan Turbo. Has anyone experienced it in person and what difference was experienced when it was activated? Thanks in advance.

I recommend it. Difference is noticeable.

I agree, I had one of the first with the option as I held up production waiting for Sport Exhaust and some other "Sport" items. Noticeable different (deeper) sound.

Is there a difference in performance, or only sound?

I'd recommend taking a look at the various aftermarket offerings before spending the big bucks on an OEM set up. Fabspeed and others offer quality products, also including Porsche.

I always turn on the sport exhaust when I drive the car. The sound is better but I don't think any improvement in performance of any significance (if any at all).

I just drove a Macan Turbo two days and and loved it BUT... the exhaust note does need to be better. I also listened to the Fabspeed video of their exhaust and wholly crap! It sounds AWESOME!. Tx for posting guys. It sounds GREAT, looks cool, and is an option to seriously consider. I see GMP has good looking cat-back system as well. Not sure if these after-market systems void any warranties etc... Anyone know?

I can only answer form the perspective that I get to see it from. That is, it does not touch the catalytic converters and there is no way that Porsche can deny a warranty claim because of mufflers. I have not had any complaints about warranty issues with the Macan. I also deal with most dealerships across the country, shoot me a PM with your city and I can point you in the right direction
