Love your spec. That’s exactly what I was hunting for but found a CPO GTS that was black so here I am in a black car again. For me I still needed that v8 rumble so wanted the 958. It’s funny you mentioned the soul catless downpipes, one of the boxes is soul secondary cat bypass pipes. Can’t wait for this storm to move out so I can get them bolted up and make some noise. The other parts are mainly visual like smoked indicator lights, black emblems, red gts hatch & lower door. I went with 15mm spacers that I will bolt up when I do the exhaust so the jury is still out on sizing/fitment. I have eyes on some black wheels, just need to settle on style and pull trigger but will likely remain 21 factory.
interested to know what lowering links you used and how ride quality was after install. Also, any info on fog light upgrade? Windshield is currently getting tinted so may need additional assistance for nighttime driving. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.6sp...09e53ade2.jpeg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.6sp...9f8d41f87.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.6sp...5822f3263.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.6sp...fcf4fd1ee.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.6sp...91dfd7619.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.6sp...d1aa5caed.jpeg S6 as requested. Oldie but a goodie. RS7 turbos, intake, borla exhaust, DS1 tune, maxton design splitter, paint correct, ceramic, night vision 😆 - my VW Passat sleeper. Please hold the hate 🙏 |

Please hold the hate 🙏 Here's a link to the links (no pun intended) that I used; https://www.ebay.com/itm/31166053128...8AAMXQWzNScmwc Same brand that I used on my 970 GTS. No issues or complaints with either set. I have them almost at their lowest setting on the Cayenne, but of course they can be adjusted to your liking. As far as ride quality, in the Normal level it's just as smooth as OE. Sport height is smooth also, but only on smooth roads. If the roads are iffy, you will get bounced around some. But again, this may not be the case if you don't lower it as much as I did. I'll get you some pics of Normal, Sport and Access mode if you're interested. For reference, Normal is now lower than what Sport was stock so it's a good look IMO. I'm mainly in Normal but if I know my route is smooth and I want to look a bit more aggressive, I go to Sport. I highly recommend these fog lights. They are briiiight. Definitely brighter than the headlights. Though I'm going to replace mine in the next month or so with new OE bulbs to see if that hopefully helps brighten them up some. Install is really simple as well. I also swapped out the fog light lenses as they were weathered. Link to a video of them VS OE; Also to note - no codes were thrown after installing these either. I've been running them for about 10 months now. Please keep me posted after you install the 15mm spacers. Pics and thoughts if you can as I think I need to ditch the 5mm ones I currently have. No hate on the S6 as I'm a big fan of them. I personally don't think that gen got as much praise as it should. In pics they look somewhat subtle but they always grabbed my attention on the road. Now one as beefed up as yours definitely makes it a killer S6. Probably capable of low 3's 0-60 and high 10s in the 1/4...hell of a "sleeper" beast! |
I have a 2014 PGTS and a 2022 Cayenne GTS. The plan was to sell the PGTS but I find I like the Panamera better although the Cayenne is quite amazing for an SUV (has RAS and PDCC) If you have owned or own both, is your experience similar?

I definitely enjoyed the Panamera more. Much more of a sporty feel. It would be anything you needed it to be. Not to say the cayenne is a slouch in any way, just a different style of vehicle. It’s a healthy SUV and does everything right in its own way. I must say I just did some exhaust work and a few other mods to the cayenne this weekend and it took it to another level of enjoyment. |

You're definitely doing all the right upgrades. The SOUL DP's really make the SUV so much more enjoyable. With the valves closed it still sounds stock, but with them open...SO much joy. Of course it's not as loud as my 971 or even my 970 (close) but it's the right amount of rumble for what the vehicle is.

Probably capable of low 3's 0-60 and high 10s in the 1/4...hell of a "sleeper" beast! the fog lights definitely look like a huge improvement in vision and just look better also. I’ll have to add them to the list. Was busy yesterday doing exhaust, spacers, side markers. Tint's done, paint correction and ceramic done. Have emblems on the way and door stickers. Spent most of today enjoying the exhaust. Completely changes the driving experience and enjoyment of car. no issues with 15mm on spacing. I’ll start a thread on 958 Cayenne page so I don’t clog up panamera section with SUV talk lol. I’ll post some pics of fitment also but you can comfortably go more than 5mm. |
