I love having the ability to turn the sports exhaust on and off. But even when it's one, it's not nearly loud enough.

Are there aftermarket options for better/louder exhaust note yet maintain the ability to lower it via the Sports Exhaust option/button?

 

Check out the innotech exhaust on youtube. Its on a panamera s but you'll get an idea... The sound and workmanship is terrific!! Their system is fully valved

 

Is the Innotech available in the US? Another option is the Kreissieg which is also valved. It sounds great in the videos I have seen, but it is pricey.

When you say fully valved does that mean I can switch it on/off with the Sports Exhaust button? Or something else entirely?

 

where are the valves located in the factory exhaust? The muffler section?

If so you could just replace the piping with a fabspeed x-pipe resonator bypass, and factory restrict cats with fabspeed sport racing cat pipes. It doesnt have to be fabspeed.. but it would certainly wake up the exhaust note.

 

you can toggle back and forth bewteen almost no noise and a little bit of noise with the push of a button.

Exactly what I'm planning to do and I will go with the Fabspeed stuff as my experience with them on past vehicles has been first rate.

 

LRDog: Give us a call we have the 200 cell High-Flow HJS sportcats and X-Pipe bypass available for your Panamera Turbo. Here is a video of these components installed with the Porsche OEM muffler.

^^Will do Joey. BTW, mine is a P4S not a TT. Been trading email with Joe about a system for another vehicle.....

 

Joey, how much louder is the TT with the stock sport mufflers in the sport (loud) mode with your Xpipe and Cats? How quiet is it in the quiet mode? I know the answers to these questions are very subjective, but please give me your best assessment. What is the cost of this upgrade (keeping the stock mufflers)?

 

I had a pair of Eisenmann mufflers installed on my Turbo. Although I liked the sound, I could not stand the severe drone at cruising speeds. So I have my stock mufflers back on now with a set of X pipes from Fabspeed. Sounds better than stock but still a bit quiet; however, there is no drone at all.

I think the stock exhaust is far too muted so I'd still like to find something that's a bit more aggressive than stock but not loud.

 

Do you have standard exhaust or PSE?

 

My car did not have the sport exhaust, but it did come with vacuum controlled valves. I've plugged the vacuum lines so that the valves always stay open. I'd like to know if the sport exhaust mufflers were constructed differently (other than that you could control the valves).

 

Joey,

I have the exact same situation & inquiry like KCTURBO

Also, can the PSE button still be used?

Thanks

 

LRDog we have the same X-Pipe available for the P4S as the Turbo. Did Joe ever respond to your email? He has been very busy and out of the office recently, I believe he just came back from the PRI show in Florida.
KCTurbo did you check out the video I posted up on the page, that is the stock mufflers mated to the X-Pipe and high-flow sportcats. In my honest opinion the sound isn't as aggressive as the full package, but one advantage by sticking to the stock mufflers is the drone/resonance will not increase in the cabin. With the valves open you will get a very mean aggressive growl, with the valves closed you still have that nice, deep grunt, but it doesn't bark in your face.
The price of the high flow sportcats ($2,795) + the X-Pipe bypass ($1,495)= $4,290. I P.M.'d you the 6speed discount.
03LX470 yes the Sport Button is still active with the X-pipe and 200 cell HJS sportcats installed.
