Exhaust rant - why so damn loooooog?
It's beyond me - even for a car that they assume most owners will not modify the exhaust - why Porsche put a one piece exhaust on the Panamera from cat back. what a ridiculous decision. this is a porsche - exhaust mods are common place. why not supply a joint before the mufflers so aftermarket companies can supply just mufflers with joint connections? a simple bolt-on replacement. i'm also one who tends to keep original equipment items, in case a potential buyer wants to revert back or if it makes selling the car later easier. who can store this stock exhaust anywhere easily? i have a storage garage and it's still going to be a pita. i just don't understand this decision by porsche.

Agreed, they closed the door on making it easier to change the exhaust. What new exhaust did you go with?

I installed this.
Sound is great with FVD dyno sheet from M&M exhaust in Germany 12hp/10 lb. tq . increase. https://flat6motorsports.com/product...panamera-turbo |
I would imagine Porsche did this to save material and time costs.

i was very interested in that exact mid-pipe a few months back. i'm very curious what you have found in regards to drone at highway speeds and what mufflers used in combination. I like the h-pipe design for a turbo and i know turbos tend not to drone like a standard v8 would, so your feedback would be great. choice of mufflers? pleased with the overall sound?

No drone at all- Exhaust can not be heard at highway speeds.

stock mufflers or aftermarket muffler? were you simply looking for a bit more sound or performance?
I wanted a bit more sound but primarly more HP/TQ which the FVD mid pipes deliver. |
