What mods/ upgrades have people done both in terms of performance (engine/ exhaust/ induction/ ECU/ gearbox, etc) or bodywork improvements?

Anyone carried out a re-map?

Still under warranty. But, I would be all over a remap/chip with Tubi/Remus/Akrapovic exhaust post warranty. Apparently they're all produced for the Macan.

I'd be interested in getting the getting mine to 500HP or thereabouts, but simple remaps don't really go that far.
400HP always feels a little underwhelming, especially with such a heavy car. It's fine for effortlessly moving about, but then at lower road speeds, so is a diesel!

I haven't, but some have:

Did you try a search?

Most on here are reluctant to carry out modifications due to fear of invalidating warranty.

But the Diesel will get there before you if the journey is over 350 miles and speed limits are observed :roll: I would check that the PDK and brakes can handle 500bhp before you do anything.

The Turbo brakes are upgraded as standard compared to an SD or S.

Similar with the GTS that has upgraded engine and gearbox components v a basic S

Turbo, + RaceChip, 80HP more for £500, what is not to like

Nah, if I observe speed limits the Turbo is hardly ticking over and will always get to that limit quicker and stop quicker. Now, if you said 450 miles, that would be different!

When I had my Macan S, I bought a Racechip and K&N filters from a forum member, planning to fit them. My S was sold before I could do so and I still have them.
If interested pm me, not asking much. Listed in tyhe for sale section.

I fancy a power upgrade, but I assume that even after three years old would run into problems with Porsche extended warranty which I will take out.
