Description

SOUL Performance Valved Exhaust System for Porsche 987.1 Boxster / Cayman

The SOUL Valved Exhaust System for Porsche 987.1 Boxster or Cayman delivers a true night-and-day difference between a refined, drone-free cruising tone and a race-ready snarl at the push of a button. With the valves closed you get a quiet, sporty note at highway speed (with stock headers) that won’t wake the neighborhood; open them up and you’re ready to roll down the windows for your favorite back roads or a day at the track. Each system is roughly 5 lbs lighter than the factory exhaust it replaces (35 lbs vs 30 lbs) and includes a valve controller kit, required for cars without factory PSE and optional for manual override on cars that have it. Every system ships fixture-tested and foam packed for a straightforward, DIY-friendly install, backed by SOUL’s Lifetime Warranty.

Development and Testing

To keep the 987.1 from eclipsing the 911’s performance, Porsche fit a restrictive, bulky factory exhaust that robs the Cayman and Boxster of their natural power and sound — something SOUL set out to fix. Aftermarket Boxster/Cayman exhaust hangers and supports are often prone to cracking and failing, so SOUL’s fortified brackets are engineered to prevent damage during extended street use and track days.

Construction

The Valved Exhaust System for Porsche 987.1 is built from mandrel bent T304L stainless steel tubing (2.5 inch OD over-axle pipes) with mufflers featuring fortified casings for durability. With the valves closed, exhaust gasses route through the SOUL muffler’s high-quality sound-deadening material for a refined tone that resists blowing out over time; opening the valves lets gasses exit through the larger 2.5 inch piping while perforations let the flow “talk” with the muffler for a fuller, more robust tone. Choose from a variety of 321 stainless steel exhaust tips in different styles and finishes, contact SOUL to customize your own set, or step up to titanium single-wall tips that save nearly a pound over stainless. New high-grade hardware is included for the header-to-exhaust flanges.

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.
