Description

SOUL Performance Bolt-On X-Pipe with Tips for 982 Porsche 718 Boxster / Cayman

The SOUL Performance Bolt-On X-Pipe with Tips for the Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman(2017+) is designed for drivers who enjoy the factory rear exhaust tone but want a cleaner, more performance-focused look along with a subtle improvement in refinement and response. By replacing the restrictive OEM “T” tip section with a smooth, cast T304L stainless steel X-pipe, the system improves exhaust flow by reducing turbulence, smoothing exhaust pulses, and creating a more efficient exit path from the muffler, providing a small increase in cruising efficiency and improved power when accelerating aggressively. The cast X-section features a smooth internal wall and a robust construction intended to avoid common failure points found in non-cast alternatives. This setup installs as a direct bolt-on and fits all 718 Boxster and Cayman models equipped with either the factory exhaust or Porsche Sport Exhaust (PSE). Finished in this configuration with Straight Cut Single Wall tips in Signature Satin, it offers a purposeful rear aesthetic and supports customization through SOUL’s 3.5-inch 321 stainless tip options. Each kit is quality-checked, test-fit in a fixture, foam packed for safe delivery, and backed by SOUL Performance’s lifetime warranty for both street and track use.

Development

SOUL Performance identified that the factory Boxster and Cayman “T” tip section forces exhaust gases to crash into each other as they exit the muffler, a cost-cutting design that creates turbulence and compromises performance. By integrating a smooth, cast X-pipe into the rear section, SOUL Performance provides a more efficient flow path for exhaust gases, with a small improvement in cruising fuel economy and increased power during aggressive acceleration. The cast interior is intentionally smooth and free of weld protrusions, avoiding a common weak point in non-cast X designs where stress and inconsistent welding practices can lead to failures. SOUL Performance chose a cast X solution specifically to prioritize durability, drawing on proven results from its full line of Boxster and Cayman exhaust systems, including track-proven performance and lifetime track warranty coverage. Cast components like this have long been validated in OEM applications and throughout the performance aftermarket, including established solutions such as IPD Plenums. Customers can also choose from a wide range of 321 stainless steel exhaust tips in multiple styles and finishes, with custom tip configurations available upon request.

Construction

SOUL Performance utilizes a cast T304L stainless steel X-pipe to provide a smooth internal wall and a clean “X” merge designed to maximize exhaust flow. To personalize the rear aesthetic, customers can choose from a range of single-wall 321 stainless steel tips in slash-cut or straight-cut styles, or opt for chrome double-wall tips offered in multiple finishes. Every set is rigorously quality-checked, test-fit in a dedicated fixture to verify proper fitment, and foam packed to help 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.
