In all honesty, I'm not sure there is much to gain from that.

We used increased diameter tubing in our systems. With that setup, you'd be expanding the sized tubing and then shrinking it back down to be compatible with the factory mufflers.

Also, it will probably make the system louder but it's very hard to judge how it would sound. It could sound good, it could by a raspy nightmare. Testing different exhaust variations is fun on a development car, but not quite something I'd want to do on my daily driven vehicle. We spent close to a month prototyping various exhaust setups before we settled on our current configuration.

My recommendation, if you want to stray from factory spec exhaust, is to go with one engineered for your car so that you know what it sounds like up front and know what you're getting into.

 

This would be perfect on your Panny.

 

Yeah, I didn't go with the Sport Exhaust on this one. It was kind of a big jump for me so I was keeping it within reason. Next one gets it.

 

Panamera Performance, caught on film. The Panamera 4S Exhaust by AWE Tuning is coming this week to our global network of dealers, and to AWE Tuning. See what the hype is about here.

Stay tuned.

 

I'm assuming you can put this on an S. Not sure it makes sense for me at this point. 2 yrs. left on lease.

Sounds great.

 

2 years is plenty of time to enjoy an exhaust. Then you can just take it off and sell it after. Doo it!

 

Wow, I could not have imagined it sounding this good.

 

Thanks for the kind words. I'm a big fan of this system (and not because I work for AWE).

It gives the car a bit of character that's missing with the factory system. The sound is aggressive without being overbearing, the tone is a blend of classic V8 rumble with a bit of exotic mixed in at high rpm and volume level during part throttle cruising is quiet enough so you can comfortably have a conversation with passengers.

To answer your question, yes it is compatible with the S.

You still have a lot of time with the car. Why would it not make sense? Two years is a plenty of time to enjoy a modification.

Also, you can sell it to another enthusiast when it's time to move on to the next car.

 

Thanks for the kind words Harvey.

A lot of time and R&D was spent fine tuning the sound of this system.

We're quite happy with the result. I'm glad you are too.
