Also is there a difference in hp between tune alone, tune & secondary cat bypass pipes & tune a new entire exhaust in the Cayenne?

We haven't tested the latest updates in a car with bolt ons, but our dealers have reported that there is a notable difference. We would be interested in testing a car like that if a customer local to us had the combination.

Just received my DME back from Emmanuele Design for my '12 CTT. This thing is pretty damn quick. No additional mods just yet, so the car is currently stock with just a GIAC tune.

Bypass pipe are on order, so that should also be interesting to feel/hear.

Thanks Austin@GIAC and Thomas @ Emmanuele Design for the quick turn (3 days) from Dallas to Cali and back... More to come.

Turbo's spool faster to 1.0 or 1.1 bar boost (on the gauge), and the car feels lighter...

Happy GIAC client.

Now it really feels like we need snappier shifts (anyone with thoughts..?) Cheers.

Austin,

Any word on the availability of the hand switcher? I had my tune done last summer and was told that the switcher was "around the corner".

Just checked with GIAC, and unfortunately switching is not available yet. Just the 93 octane pump gas flash.

But...don't let that dissuade you...the flash is DEFINITELY worth it.

I have a vorsteiner exhaust with fabspeed secondary bypass pipes installed. Would like to do the GIAC tune and have you test it if interested, which I'm located in Irvine as well.
