Nighttime Rampage: Porsche Panamera Gets iPE Exhaust

For now, we're here to show you what iPE Exhaust can do for the Panamera S/4S, with the tuner having just released a set of goodies for the Zuffenhausen machine.

We're talking about a custom exhaust system that allows the twin-turbo 2,894cc V6 heart of the S models to deliver an output premium of 29 ponies and 31 Nm (that's 23 lb-ft) of twist.

The exhaust also brings weight benefits, allowing the Porsche to shed almost 5 kilos (that's 11 lbs).

Then there's the aural side of the adventure, with the Taiwan-based producer's hardware helping the said motor fully express its feelings and emotions. Sure, we're still talking about a turbocharged V6, a recipe that's far from the most decibel-inspiring in the world. But, as you'll notice in the piece of footage at the bottom of the page, the soundtrack of this Panny can get pretty intense at times.

While we're talking Porsche Panamera tuning, we also need to mention the deep transformation the first generation of the car has gone through, now that the new model is out on the streets.

With prices for the original Panny dropping, we've already seen a few aficionados turning such Porsches into extreme projects that stray far from the factory path - here's an example that turned quite a lot of heads when it showed up in Monaco.

Of course, such Panameras are as polarising as they get, so, if you happen to belong to the purist camp, you'd better brace yourself, as more such contraptions are expected to show up.
