We dive into the key differences between the Porsche Macan 95B.1 (15-18) and the 95B.2 (19+). We also go over the compatibility of parts between the two and highlight some key areas Macan owners enjoy modifying.

The Older model with the 3.6litre has a Porsche pedigree motor related to the 4.8litre V8 motor out of Stuttgart and the Cayenne 958.1. The New Macan has a lower quality Audi engine.

I have always wondered what changes they did in the 40hp 2017 performance package upgrade, was it hardware changes like turbos and intercoolers or was it strictly ECU map increasing boost ?

Any way to: 1) retrofit the newer headlights *without* headlight washers in the corner onto the first gen? I feel the fully rounded design of the face-lifted headlights is what streamlines the look of the front. 2) retrofit a higher res reverse camera onto the first gen?

I'm sure anything is possible but it might be difficult with certain modules not taking the coding. The electronics are pretty complicated where it might be more involved than just swapping them out.

You mentioned the electronic exhaust valve actuator disconnect. Is it possible to keep the valve open all the time. I imagine it is open at startup and that is why it sounds great for the first 30 seconds or so. Can you explain the operation of the valve, what and when open and closed. Many thanks. Afraid to change exhaust and get pulled over by EPA. I know on my BMW 330 E46 the exhaust valve in rear outlet opens via a vacuume connection controlled by the amount of pedal applied. You could also disconnect and block the vacume hose and the valve would stay open. This was called the golf T solution. Many thanks
@Flat6Motorsports3 жыл бұрын
Yes, you can pull the actuator and manually open or close it (you can keep it in either orientation). We had a client who just kept it open because he preferred the sound of it always being opened.
@Flat6Motorsports3 жыл бұрын
These are electronic actuators. They don't use vacuum pressure to function, the simply have an electronic motor integrated to the actuator.

How about the stock exhaust sound between the two Turbo trims? I would think the 3.6 sounds better.

They share the same exhaust system. The 3.6L is just stroked to a 3.6L so has a little deeper tone.

In terms of performance and sound, is a high flow DP or secondary-cat DP better to swap out with the OEM DP? How does it affect warranty? In addition, do you know if it is possible to retrofit the Cayenne brakes (the ones that are like a middle point between stock iron rotors and ceramic brakes)? 971 Panamera S owner...
@Flat6Motorsports3 жыл бұрын
The .1 requires removing the engine so it's not a very feasible thing for most. There are no secondary cats on these. I don't believe Cayenne brakes will work as the hubs are unique and carried over from Audi.

Yes, they are pretty reliable. We suspect the 95B.2 will have better potential given the location and access of the turbos.

My 2021 GTS is so much louder than the 2017 GTS I had prior. The engine bay looks cheaper, because of all the exposed components on the new one, and the headlamps of the first generation seemed better than this new gen. They no longer have the wide beam pattern that narrows at 37 mph or whatever, and the heated headlight wash jets can't be optioned at all on the new gen. AND my RaceChip GTS black edition or whatever from my old Macan doesn't work for the new one. Ughhhhh But I can't wait to get one of your rear hatch mods so it can be closed with the fob and all that stuff.
