I have the Macan Turbo 2017, and Porsche told me I can't retrofit the PSE. But what I found on the forums is that the turbo has one valve in the right muffler that opens automatically in sport mode or in certain RPMs. So what I did I just took it apart and left the valve open at all time. And it definitely sounds much better, not sure about compression on engine tho.
I had that valve on the right muffler too… still have it in the new setup. This valve is controlled directly by the DME/ECU. With PSE you gain an additional valve and larger muffler pipes with an additional valve on the left muffler to make it a more straight run. However, PSE is still muffled. The mufflers I installed, which is being called PSE plus, are highly modified mufflers by RADHAUS which truly make a straight run without sound being muffled. Is like installing a muffler delete when the left valve is open and more normal when it’s closed. I don’t think the dealer was very honest. This PSE retrofit can be done for all 1st GEN Macan.
@@porscheDIY Amazing, yeah your macan definitely sounds much better now. And I actually went straight to Porsche and this is what they told me, so now what I am thinking is just to find a left PSE muffler with a valve and just install it in the place of the old mufler with a valve.
@@RossMinchev you mean installing a left PSE muffler in the right location? It would not work. You’ll end up with the connection pointing to the wrong direction and the motor pointing down.

@@porscheDIY@porscheDIY Yeah, I am planning to get just the left PSE muffler with a valve and let it open at all time. So, I will have mufflers with left and right valves open at all times. I am just researching if that's going to interfere with the pressure in the engine somehow.
Thanks for your comments… working on it. There are still a few pieces I need to film and I’m just looking at the right opportunity to do that…. Trying to wrap it up by next weekend… stay tuned!!
@@MrNanah38 I got really lucky, found a lightly used one on Craigslist, I live in So Cal, that PSE installation is way too complicated, I like sound to be always on
What computer program are you using? And where can I buy it? I have a 2018 Macan GTS and would love to have this for diagnostic and modification work. Thanks and keep up the great videos.
Thank you for your responses! one last question. Does the harness you added have a 3 or 4 wire connector for the solenoid? I thought that PSE solenoids have a 4 wire, yet my non PSE OE Turbo passenger side solenoid is 3 wire. In this video it appears you only added a drivers side connector and not replace the passenger side.
@mxquattro the right side is controlled by the DME module automatically to control exhaust back pressure. This control algorithm can be changed with proper tuning too….We have no manual control of the right flap with the button. The left side is controlled manually with the PSE button in the center console. So, what the left side does is that it opens a more direct path bypassing muffler and because is a less restricted path, gasses preferentially move through there (in the case of PSE plus).
i have PSE on my 2018 turbo but the right valve always open. it seems like to motor working just fine when i tested . is this normal ? can't wait to see part 2 of the video
Hi Santirx, re the PIWIS procedure I see you 'maintained' the vehicle data then after selecting all modules, executed the change to the new PR feature (exhaust) using automatic coding. With this method, is it the case that everything accross the whole car, ie all modules will be aligned to an internally stored vehicle data set, ie it would overwrite any adjustments previously made such as the Sports+ joker mod...?
Correct, you will need to repeat all coding done previously. The reason I did it this way is because I wasn’t sure what modules to code automatically for PSE to code properly. Doing it this way, PIWIS selects the modules that require auto coding. Then, afterwards I redid all manual coding. This is a good clarification. Thanks for asking. Hoping you are subscribed to the channel!
Hah! I got one right! Thanks for clarifying. But, is there not another way to select the PR feature? Forgive me if I’m now off track, but the ‘manual coding’ step, I’ve seen this lead to a screen view that permits PR code selection, say for one module. I guess maybe that’s ok as you say, if you know the modules involved…?
@@petershephard9248 if you know the modules, you can do automatic coding just to those modules. I’m sure DME is one, but so is AC, where the sport + code is stored. So you will need to redo some of the coding. You can’t use manual coding to code PSE. You need to change maintenance of vehicle information and then do automatic coding for required modules.
Hello guys. I started the parts collecting for this modification. About PIWIS procedure, my car there’s no additional manual coding. Whit this auto coding procedure for all modules is it any chance for fu**up something?

@@mxquattro Unfortunately no. It requires that you change the vehicle information parameters, which can only be done with PIWIS in the “Maintenance of Vehicle Information” menu of PIWIS. Then, you need to do Automatic Coding with PIWIS for all modules. So, you need access to PIWIS.
The Macan is very quiet. Even with the PSE valves fully opened, is still a bit quiet. The RADHAUS PSE Plus is I think the right amount of sound. I’m finding myself opening the PSE valve all the time. Thanks for watching! Hope you are subscribed…
Just a quick question. What if I just unplug the wire from the exhaust valve which is on the passenger side muffler? That will remain the valve be always opened. Will the sound be better? Will it harm a vehicle or cause any issues in future? I just want a little more sound from my exhaust to be produced. I’ve read it makes a little difference and people love how it turns out but I would really like to hear your opinion about it! Have you heard of this method btw? Thanks ahead 🙌🏼
You can disconnect the valve, no issues. This will give you a very nominal louder sound, but not much… difficult to detect difference honestly. The issue is that the exhaust still goes through the muffler. With this modification, all padding is removed from passenger side muffler and a direct connection is made on the driver’s side (in addition to removing muffler padding). So the result is a nice sound. BTW… mine was always disconnected. In the opening video of my Macan with original mufflers, the sound produced is with valve disconnected. You can always try disconnecting it and see how you like it. If you do that, I recommend you getting the AWE valve simulator. It fools the ECU into thinking that the valve is connected, hence your system won’t get a fault code. flat6motorsports.com/products/awe-tuning-electronic-valve-simulator-macan?_pos=157&_sid=9cb9c620c&_ss=r

@@porscheDIY so it close at a certain speed or rpm ? my only concern is if i get the PSE Plus then it will stay loud if the valve won't close
