Sharkwerks’ bypass exhaust tracts for the new Porsche Cayenne Turbo are intended to replace the existing OEM secondary catalytic converters. The company claims this results in reduced turbo lag and improved power, along with an enhanced exhaust note without resonance or drone. Extra effort has been made to replicate the factory hanger positions to avoid unwanted contact with the underbody or vibration and rattling. The pipes are formed from mandrel-bent stainless steel with CNC-cut flanges and include OEM gaskets for installation and all needed hardware.

Wheel of the Month
HRE Performance Wheels has added three completely new designs to its Monoblok wheel line, featuring new lighter-weight, precision-machined spoke geometry. The new Monoblok P40S line uses the same forged alloy and single block construction as the original Monoblok. Included in the P40S line is the P40 mesh, P43S multi-spoke and P45S five-spoke in 19- and 20-inch diameters with widths ranging from 8 to 13 inches and a wide variety of custom offsets. Every wheel starts as a single block of aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, which is forged to German TÜV standards in California, then machined into its final shape at HRE’s state-of-the-art facility. All HRE wheels are engineered to minimize unsprung mass and rotational inertia for optimal acceleration, handling and braking performance. Each wheel is built to order and there are nearly infinite fitment, color and finish options available.
