I guess the silver lining is that I never have competition for the driving seat and 90% of our mileage generally sees us both in the car. It's also noticeable that the level of "comment" is much less in the Macan than any previous car which, to my mind, shows that it's excess of performance imbues as much confidence in the passengers as the driver. Win win!!

The round tailpipes indicate that it has PSE, standard Turbo tailpipes are square.
Nope, you could spec round tailpipes without PSE.
I do not remember the option to specify round tailpipes being available when I ordered my Turbo.

It just came with the square tailpipes.

If it had been available I would have specified them, I already selected the de-badge option I would also have selected de-badge the Porsche logo if I could.

I am no brand junkie in fact the opposite I would rather have no badges at all.
I guess it may depend on model year. There is an 18 reg black turbo on eBay right now with round black pipes, but without PSE, it lists the options from the factory and one is black round tailpipes.

I'm glad you said that I always wondered why some had the square tail pipes and some round. Really not a fan of the square ones and always put me off considering the Turbo.

Anyway - Welcome to the forum (from another newbie) and your Turbo looks great in that combo as they black spyders really improve the overall looks for me.
