My Cayenne, mods and progressing upgrades
I have been reading this forum for a few months now, and finally decided to get an 06 Cayenne S - titanium edition. Right off the bat, I had to do a few minor upgrades since I can't keep anything stock
So far I've done a full exhaust with cat bypass and Magnaflow mufflers, BMC air filters and modified the air box, Spyder LED tail lights (came clear, tinted myself), tinted side lights, aluminum cooling pipes, 25mm wheel spacers, Sarona vented hood, Sarona front bumper, second interior screen, custom vinyls, tire lettering and blacked out exterior trim as well as the brake calipers and roof rack.
The to do list consists of an ECU tune, KW shocks and a carbon rear wing. Possibly 22"s if they fix these crappy roads in the tri state.
The before...
The after...

markdjr - For now I will keep the tips I have, thanks.
Waitin4Dv - The grill lights were a nonbrand LED bar I found on ebay for cheap. Only cost 12 bucks but I will upgrade to something larger when the body kit is installed. These I attached with double-sided tape, and wired to the side marker lights. Hold up great.
ECS Tuning - I purchased with 62k miles but took a few road trips and put some miles on, somewhere around 67k right now.

By all means, do the cold air intakes too. Makes sure you don't use the oiled filters, as they wreck havoc on the MAF. That upgrade alone is good for 20hp/tq increase and improved gas mileage too.

Do you have pictures of the exhaust tips you're trying to sell? Thank you in reply

I've heard mixed reviews of the intakes. I am looking to do everything I can for power but some people say all they give you is a louder intake sound. What brands should I look into?

I made vids to compare various setups so that you can get a better idea of what the difference will be (inside and outside car). Look for my posts and you will find them on here.
If you want your car to sound louder, the quickest way would be to do the secondary cat delete. I got a set of nice ones from Leistung and it made the car much growlier.

edit/update - did a full exhaust including cat bypass, its crazy loud. I went with BMC filters and modified the airbox a little to get a better flow.

I like the mesh on the front, cleaning those slats and wiping them down each wash is a true p.i.t.a not to mention the bugs...
Like the new fog lights too.
This came up as I was doing a search for tail lights

I wash and wax every Saturday so cleaning isn't so bad. Since you were searching for lights, I would definitely recommend these from Spyder. The LEDs are bright, even with the dark tint I put on. The reverse light is a regular bulb and not LED. I would just recommend putting one of the LED bulb replacements in.
