Performance Modifications


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I am thinking of doing the following mods:

Fabspeed Cayenne Maxflo Cat Back Exhaust $2195

Fabspeed Secondary Cat Delete Pipes $680

BMC Air Filters (2) $180

PES Porsche Cayenne S 4.8L Software Upgrade $1995

Installation Labor (Welding Required For Exhaust Install) $750

Shipping (exhaust, filters, ECU overnight x2) $100

Build Total w/Tax $6,254.00

The shop that will do the work has advised that I will be gaining around 65HP.

Is there anything I should be aware before going for these changes?

I have a 2008 Cayenne S with 385 HP default so the extra 65HP + the significant noise modification should be pretty good.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

You know... for about $35,000...

You could get a 2004 Cayenne Turbo.

If you could manage to sell yours for 30k, you'd be better off just swapping vehicles.

Personally, I like the sleeper feel of the Cayenne. Most people around here have zero clue what a CTT is capable of, and it plays to my benefit in all situations. From cops pulling me over (3 times now, and only one gave me a ticket. The other two just kept asking me about the vehicle), to "merging opportunities" to redlight-to-redlight hops, I've enjoyed being quiet and subdued.

If I wanted to be real obnoxious, I'd have gotten something that looks wild instead of something with smooth styling.

I applaud your powertrain approach to modifications, and wish you the best of luck! I've heard the intake and exhaust helps a lot when chipping turbos, but I have no experience to back it up.
