SOUL Performance X-Pipe with Straight Signature Satin Tips for 987.2 / 981 Porsche Boxster & Cayman / GT4

SOUL Performance Bolt-On X-Pipe with Straight Cut Single Wall Signature Satin Tips for the 987.2 / 981 Boxster and Cayman is a simple, bolt-on way to wake up both the look and sound of the car while keeping the stock rear mufflers in place. The restrictive factory “T” tip section is replaced with a smooth cast T304L stainless X-pipe, allowing exhaust pulses to cross over cleanly, reducing turbulence for better flow, a crisper, more refined exhaust note, and a subtle improvement in response when you get on the throttle. Straight cut single wall tips, formed from 321 stainless and finished in SOUL’s Signature Satin, fill out the rear valance with a clean, motorsport-inspired aesthetic that reads OEM-plus rather than flashy. Engineered as a true direct bolt-on for all 2009-2016 987.2 / 981 Boxster and Cayman models with factory exhaust or Porsche Sport Exhaust (PSE), each assembly is fixture-checked for precise fitment, thoroughly quality-inspected, carefully foam packed for shipment, and backed by SOUL Performance’s renowned Lifetime Warranty for confident use on both street and track.

Development

The factory “T” tip section in the Boxster / Cayman models allows exhaust gases to collide within the muffler before exiting the tips, as a cost-cutting measure. However, this approach creates turbulence and negatively impacts performance. To overcome this limitation, SOUL Performance Products incorporates a smooth and cast X-pipe into the rear section, enabling a more efficient flow path for the exhaust gases. This enhancement results in a small increase in gas mileage during cruising and delivers more power when accelerating aggressively.
The interior casting of the X-pipe is designed to be smooth, without any protrusions from welds. This is in contrast to non-cast designs that may fail at this junction due to stress and potential welding issues. SOUL Performance Products has made a deliberate and conscientious decision to provide the most durable X-pipe solution possible. Moreover, these X-sections have been successfully implemented across their entire line of Boxster / Cayman exhaust systems, which have a proven track record of performance, including being utilized on the fastest Boxster ever recorded at Watkins Glen. These exhaust systems are warrantied for track use throughout their lifespan. Cast components, such as the X-pipe, have been proven effective in OEM applications for years and are endorsed by IPD Plenums, a renowned aftermarket performance leader known for their intake plenums and throttle bodies.

Construction

To achieve optimal flow, a cast T304L stainless steel X-pipe is utilized, boasting a smooth inner wall and clean “X” section. This design ensures maximum flow efficiency. Personalize your exhaust system according to your preferences by selecting from a range of options. Choose from single-wall 321 stainless tips available in slash cut or straight cut styles, or opt for chrome double-wall tips in various finishes, all allowing you to customize your exhaust to suit your taste. For those seeking lightweight options, titanium single wall tips are also available, providing a weight reduction of nearly one pound compared to stainless steel tips.
To guarantee impeccable quality, each component undergoes rigorous quality checks, is tested in a fixture to ensure precise fitment, and is then carefully foam packed to ensure it arrives in perfect condition.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
