Porsche Cayenne 955 -restoring her back

Cayenne muffler bypass- a little bit of fettling

I am sure a ton of people have done this s thought I would have a go.

Taking the stock Cayenne S Exhaust and doing a muffler bypass. This is the sound before adding the tubing which has a link below

Before

Then took the tips off and pushed this tubing through after cutting the small bypass valve out

and now sounds like a turbo :)

You are dead right. Because there was such a difference on the before and after, it made it worth while. I could see about 30 minutes in that it was going to be worth it so persevered. I hate those jobs that you start and after 30 mins it looks like you have just been sitting around doing nothing , so unsatisfactory. But in this case it turned out well and still now 3 months on they look just as good. Much easier to maintain as well
 
Nice job and excellent result, I'm planning on doing similar to my 964 heat exchangers next year when my engine is removed.
Was that a metal polishing kit you bought for a machine polisher? Or does it run off of a drill
 
All from a drill , you can get kits with polishing pads and wax sticks and an arbour all in one
Just make sure you used a corded drill as all the polishing will run down a cordless really quickly !
 
Small tweak

A shame we don't have a thread in here that us Cayenne owners can update as we do small changes , save having to start numerous threads. But anyway


A small change ...the shift surround was all mottled and looked rubbish. You can see by these pictures how dull the silver was.

Luckily this is one of the few parts that is painted silver but is actually metal. So out came the fine wet and dry grade and got rid of the awful silver.
Then simply polished it up to a fine shine and gave it a coating to protect against finger prints.
Think it looks better

That's great work, looks a great refresh. :thumb:

So why not start your own thread and it can just remain open for updates and mods etc?

Good idea, if I start a restoration thread can you , as a moderator, combine all my threads into one ? Obviously I can't do that being a humble newbie :)
 
Don't know why Porsche didn't do it like that in the first place.

They had a lot of silver paint left over and being our little industrious german friends, decided to use it all :)

Yes, if you wish, I can transfer your existing refurb and update posts into the new thread that you are going to create. From there on just keep adding the updates to it, similar to other build threads.
