Porsche 987.1 Boxster / Cayman SOUL Performance Exhaust System

DEVELOPMENT: We at SOUL have had ample time around many exhaust configurations for the 987.1 and set out to build the ideal setup for enthusiasts. We decided on this design as it offers an incredible sound when you have the pedal down, but it is VERY refined when driving around town. The SOUL mufflers practically eliminate droning – even with aftermarket catless headers the sound is reserved during partial throttle! No valves necessary – we are confident that our system is a solid option for those who like it loud when it’s appropriate but reserved around town. Expect no check engine lights, only a grin every time you accelerate.
CONSTRUCTION: Each system is made from mandrel bent T304L stainless steel tubing and features mufflers with fortified casings in the interest of durability. Aftermarket Boxster/ Cayman exhaust hangers / supports are often prone to cracking and failing – SOUL fortified brackets prevent any damage during extended street use and track days. Choose from a variety of 321 stainless exhaust tips in different styles and finishes – or contact us to customize your own set! Titanium single wall tips are also available and save nearly a pound of weight over stainless steel tips!
BOLT ON AND GO: Each exhaust is rigorously quality-checked, tested in a fixture to ensure perfect fitment, and then foam packed to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. New high grade hardware is included for the header to exhaust flanges. Thorough installation instructions are included in the box for a straightforward install that can be performed by most DIY enthusiasts.
LIFETIME WARRANTY: Enjoy your SOUL exhaust components with confidence on both the street and track as they are covered by our Lifetime Warranty! Our team will quickly work with you to resolve any issues or answer any questions that you may have.

Purchased the Soul Performance exhaust for the 987.1 Boxster. Fantastic quality, all hardware and gaskets included. Assembly is fairly simple, just take the time needed to line it all up before tightening down. Fit and finish is very good. Sound over the stock mufflers is night and day, the Flat 6 engine now sounds epic, without being obnoxious. I recommend this system to anyone looking for a major improvement over stock, but no drone, and wanting to amplify the great Flat 6 sound without annoying the whole neighborhood. This is a worthwhile investment that will put a smile on your face on every cold start, and during rev-matching, which is much easier since you can hear the RPM’s now. Getting to keep the stock exhaust for the next buyer is a big bonus, Soul exhaust will always hold its value for resale. In my opinion this sounds better than PSE, without having valves to worry about. Buy without regret, it is worth it

I had the Soul Performance exhaust (catback), BMC air filter, and Softronic tune installed yesterday on my 2007 CS. I first drove the car after the exhaust/filter install. The car felt noticeably faster across the rev range, not night and day, but definitely noticeable. Deletion of secondary cats/improved flow/15 lbs lighter weight/clean high-flow filter can all be attributed. A 10 bhp bump is not overreaching IMO. Saying the sound is improved is beating a dead horse. That's not debatable. I then had the tune installed. After 30-50 miles, after the ECU adapts, my car again felt noticeably faster. I think the ~20 bhp claim is about right. Additionally, throttle response is sharper (as if the NA Cayman needs better throttle response) and the engine revs more freely. Even those who are hesitant about the whole "tuning" aspect should give it a shot. I'm very confident in its safety. Softronic has been creating these "one of one" custom files for years.
I now have a Cayman that has the power of a 981S while retaining the analog feel and features (hydraulic steering rack FTW) and feel of a 987S. Next up: the Soul street headers for what many say, is a significant power increase.

Thanks to Paul and the crew at Soul, the exhaust was installed at their shop today. Everyone there was great and the hour ride back home was even better. I couldn't be happier with their product, service and fairness. Looking forward to seeing you guys again at Hershey in April.

I replaced a 'custom' system on my 06 CS MT with the SOUL cat back. With the old system, I was literally in fear of early morn tickets on a rather large climb up from the Mohawk River. Overall the SOUL system eliminated the excessive 'drone' although probably any exhaust can be held at a drone rpm. Once cut loose, the SOUL system sang a wonderful howl-tune! I have since added one of the first cat-headers they offered. The whole system is wonderful. Precise build, top quality materials and superior customer service.

Just thought I would let the fine folks at Soul know that I received a lot of complements on their exhaust this last weekend from others in a two day rally & tour I participated in. A number of 911 owners (new and old) said the exhaust was the best they've ever heard on a flat 6 and the look of the round tips was a very nice finish to the rear of my Cayman.
At one point I needed to make an expedited left turn onto a two lane highway and quickly get up to speed from a dead stop. At the next rest stop the owner of an '89 911 that was behind me, walked up to me with a big grin on his face and said the roar of my car was music to his ears.
Now I just need to save some more $ to get the catted, long tube headers.
