Does the Fabspeed Intermediate X-Pipe make the Macan louder?

No, not on its own. The Fabspeed Intermediate X-Pipe is a tone-refining midpipe: its double X-pipe design smooths the exhaust pulses into a more exotic, sports-car sound and aids scavenging, but it does not raise the volume. For a louder exhaust, pair it with a Fabspeed slip-on sport exhaust.

What does an X-pipe do?

An X-pipe crosses the exhaust flow between the two banks of the V6, which evens out the pulses. On the Macan that smooths and enriches the tone and helps the engine scavenge exhaust gases more efficiently, which can add a small amount of power. It is a refinement and flow upgrade rather than a big power part.

Is it emissions legal and will it cause a check engine light?

Yes, it is emissions legal in all 50 states and the rest of the world, and Fabspeed guarantees no check engine light. The X-pipe is an intermediate section that leaves the factory emissions equipment in place, so it runs clean with the stock setup and no additional programming.

Which Macans does it fit?

It fits the 2014-2018 Porsche 95B Macan S and GTS (3.0L twin-turbo) and the Macan Turbo (3.6L twin-turbo). Fabspeed shaped it from 3D scans of the factory exhaust for exact fitment on these V6 vehicles.

Is it a bolt-on installation?

It bolts on with no welding required, but minor cutting is needed at the factory exhaust break point, using the OEM dimple locations as a guide. Because of the cutting step, many owners have it installed by a shop, though it is straightforward for an experienced installer.

Should I run it with a slip-on exhaust?

Yes, for the best result. On its own, the X-pipe refines the tone without adding volume, so many owners run it together with a Fabspeed slip-on sport exhaust: the slip-on adds the volume and the X-pipe smooths and enriches the character. Together they give the fullest sound upgrade.

Description

Fabspeed Intermediate X-Pipe for 95B Porsche Macan S, GTS and Turbo

Fabspeed Intermediate X-Pipe for the 95B Porsche Macan S, GTS and Turbo is a handcrafted midpipe built to refine the V6’s tone and help it breathe. Its double X-pipe design blends the exhaust pulses from both banks, which smooths the sound into a more exotic, sports-car character and aids scavenging for a touch more power. Fabspeed builds it from mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel, shaped from 3D scans of the factory exhaust for exact fitment. It is emissions legal in all 50 states with a guaranteed no check engine light, and because it is a tone-refining midpipe rather than a muffler, it is best paired with a Fabspeed slip-on when you also want more volume.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
