FAQ

A tuned exhaust system is an aftermarket or upgraded exhaust designed to improve a Porsche’s performance, sound, and efficiency. It enhances airflow, reduces back pressure, and produces a more aggressive exhaust note. Bursch Tuned Exhausts are the right choice for your car.

• Increased horsepower and torque
  
• Improved throttle response
  
• Enhanced exhaust sound (from refined sporty tone to aggressive roar)
  
• Possible weight reduction compared to stock exhausts (see our product page for more details or contact us)
  
• A more engaging driving experience

No! Bursch Tuned Exhausts are made to enhance your car. If installed and calibrated properly, a tuned exhaust will not damage the engine. In fact, high-quality exhaust systems from Bursch are engineered to complement Porsche performance and may even improve engine efficiency.

Fuel economy can change slightly. Aggressive driving to enjoy the sound may lower MPG, while improved exhaust efficiency may provide marginal gains in steady driving.

It depends on the exhaust system chosen and your local regulations. Many performance exhausts are designed to remain emissions compliant, but some “race-only” systems may not be street legal. Always check local laws before installation. Please contact us for more information.

It may affect your warranty if the exhaust is deemed responsible for a related repair issue. Some dealerships are mod-friendly, but always confirm with your Porsche service provider before installing aftermarket parts.

If you have mechanical experience and proper tools, some systems are bolt-on and can be DIY. However, professional installation ensures correct fitment, avoids leaks, and prevents check engine issues.

For cat-back systems, usually no ECU tune is required. For headers, high-flow cats, or full exhaust upgrades, an ECU tune is recommended to maximize performance and prevent check engine lights.
