The Akrapovic TP-CT/48 Carbon Fiber Tail Pipe Set is a precision-crafted set of exhaust tip covers engineered for the 2017-2020 Porsche Panamera Turbo and Turbo S E-Hybrid (971 platform). Built with the same high gloss woven carbon fiber and UV-resistant clear coat finish Akrapovic uses throughout their motorsport exhaust accessory lineup, the TP-CT/48 installs directly onto compatible Akrapovic exhaust systems to deliver a more aggressive, performance-oriented rear appearance on the Panamera without any permanent chassis modification. These carbon tips are also compatible across multiple 971-generation Panamera variants including 4, 4S, GTS, and Sport Turismo body styles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Porsche Panamera trims does the TP-CT/48 fit?

The TP-CT/48 is confirmed for the 2017-2020 Porsche Panamera 4, 4S, Turbo, Turbo S E-Hybrid, GTS, and their Sport Turismo body variants on the 971 platform. The full fitment list covers sedan and Sport Turismo body styles across these trim levels, making it a versatile accessory for the entire 971-generation Panamera lineup.

Does the TP-CT/48 require an Akrapovic exhaust to be installed first?

Yes. The TP-CT/48 carbon tip covers are designed to mount onto a compatible Akrapovic exhaust system for the Porsche Panamera 971. They are not designed to attach to the OEM Porsche factory exhaust. A compatible Akrapovic exhaust system must be in place before installing these carbon tips.

Does the TP-CT/48 work with the E-Hybrid Panamera variants?

Yes. The TP-CT/48 is confirmed compatible with the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid, Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, and their Sport Turismo variants for the 2018-2020 model years. These hybrid drivetrain variants use the same 971 exhaust outlet architecture on the compatible Akrapovic system.

Is any modification required for installation?

No permanent modification is required. The TP-CT/48 uses direct bolt-on fitment with the hardware included in the set. No cutting, welding, or drilling to the Panamera bumper or exhaust is necessary.

Does this fit the Panamera Sport Turismo body style?

Yes. The TP-CT/48 is compatible with the Panamera Sport Turismo variants including the 4 Sport Turismo, 4S Sport Turismo, 4 E-Hybrid Sport Turismo, Turbo Sport Turismo, Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo, and GTS Sport Turismo for the covered model years.

What maintenance does the carbon finish require?

Hand wash with a pH-neutral car shampoo and apply a carnauba or ceramic spray wax periodically to maintain the high gloss clear coat. Avoid abrasive brushes and solvent-based cleaners on the carbon surface. Inspect for stone chips and confirm fastener tightness periodically as the tips are positioned near active exhaust outlets.

How does the carbon tip appearance compare to the OEM Panamera exhaust tips?

The OEM Porsche Panamera 971 exhaust tips are polished chrome or brushed stainless steel depending on trim level. The TP-CT/48 carbon tip covers replace the visible tip finish with a motorsport-grade high gloss carbon weave, delivering a more aggressive and premium appearance that aligns with Akrapovic's competition exhaust aesthetic.

Is the TP-CT/48 a genuine Akrapovic part?

Yes. The TP-CT/48 is an OEM Akrapovic accessory manufactured at their facility in Slovenia. The part number TP-CT/48 is Akrapovic's official factory designation for this carbon tail pipe set for the 971-generation Porsche Panamera.

Installation Instructions

  1. Confirm a compatible Akrapovic exhaust system is installed on the Porsche Panamera 971 before beginning.
  2. Allow the exhaust to cool completely before handling tip covers or hardware.
  3. Locate the tip mounting points on the Akrapovic muffler at each exhaust outlet position.
  4. Position the first carbon tip cover over the exhaust outlet and align the mounting tabs with the muffler receiver points.
  5. Insert fasteners by hand and confirm the tip cover sits flush before applying torque.
  6. Torque all fasteners to the specification in the Akrapovic instruction sheet included with the set.
  7. Repeat for all remaining tip covers, working symmetrically across all exhaust outlets.
  8. Start the vehicle and inspect all covers for alignment and security once operating temperature is reached.
