SOUL Performance Competition Exhaust System with Single Wall Tips for 982 Porsche 718 Boxster / Cayman

SOUL Performance engineered the Competition Package for the Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman (2017+) to deliver a more aggressive exhaust note and sharper turbo character while preserving a refined cabin experience, offering true mild-to-wild control at the press of a button. By combining the Competition Downpipe with the Valved Exhaust System, SOUL Performance enhances throttle response, turbo sound, and overall engagement while avoiding the drone and rasp that can appear when a freer-flowing downpipe is paired with an inadequate rear exhaust. Constructed from mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel with 2.5-inch OD over-axle piping and fortified muffler casings, and paired with a thick-wall T304L stainless downpipe featuring smooth 90 mm-to-55 mm transitions, the package is built for long-term durability and consistent performance. With the valves closed, exhaust flow is routed through SOUL’s mufflers for exceptional drone suppression and a calm highway demeanor; with the valves open, large 2.5-inch piping and integrated perforations allow the exhaust to interact with the muffler to produce a fuller, more robust tone with a pronounced level of snarling and crackling, with Sport mode further increasing crackles and burbles. This configuration is finished with Straight Cut Single Wall tips in Signature Satin and includes depth adjustment for a tailored fit at the bumper. The kit installs as a direct bolt-on with instructions included and a valve controller (required for non-PSE cars and optional for PSE-equipped cars), with operation via the factory PSE button, included fobs, and HomeLink compatibility, and every component is fixture-tested and foam packed for safe delivery. Because the downpipe may trigger a check engine light and is intended for race use only, SOUL Performance recommends an ECU tune for best drivability and to help prevent potential boost spikes from the increased exhaust flow.

Development

SOUL Performance developed this valved exhaust package to deliver a unique, aggressive exhaust note without sacrificing a refined cabin experience, providing true mild-to-wild control at the press of a button. While an upgraded downpipe dramatically enhances the character of the 718, SOUL Performance recognized that pairing it with an inadequate rear exhaust can introduce undesirable drone during normal driving, especially around 3,000 RPM. Increasing volume on the 718 is easy, but creating a more aggressive note that still sounds distinctly Porsche from the turbo flat-four is far more challenging, particularly because the turbocharger and extensive factory sound deadening keep the cabin exceptionally calm and can expose unwanted rasp and drone when volume is simply turned up. By applying the same proven design principles used across SOUL Performance’s renowned Valved Exhaust systems for previous Boxster and Cayman generations, the package delivers a controlled, refined increase in sound that pairs exceptionally well with a freer-flowing downpipe, producing a mature exhaust note without becoming overbearing. This makes it an ideal upgrade for vehicles not equipped with Porsche Sport Exhaust from the factory. For the downpipe, SOUL Performance uses smooth mandrel-bent piping that transitions from 90 mm to 55 mm at the exit to promote improved throttle response, stronger turbo sound, and a more exciting overall exhaust character.

Construction

SOUL Performance constructs each system from mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel tubing, including 2.5-inch OD over-axle piping, and equips it with mufflers featuring fortified casings to promote long-term durability. With the valves closed, exhaust gases are routed through the SOUL muffler, which is packed with high-quality sound-deadening material engineered to withstand sustained abuse without blowing out over time, resulting in highly effective drone reduction. Exhaust gases pass through the muffler and exit through perforations into the outer piping. With the valves open, exhaust gases are free to flow through large 2.5-inch piping, while the integrated perforations allow the exhaust to interact with the muffler to encourage a fuller, more robust tone. Each downpipe is fabricated from mandrel-bent, thick-wall T304L stainless steel and is rigorously quality-checked prior to shipping.

Sound

SOUL Performance delivers refined aggression with an overall exhaust note that is noticeably sharper and turbo character that is far more pronounced. With the valves closed, the system maintains a calm cabin suitable for highway cruising and phone conversations without exhaust intrusion. When opened up, it provides a respectable level of snarling and crackling while effectively minimizing drone across all RPM and throttle loads. In Sport mode, the system further increases crackles and burbles for an even more engaging driving experience.

Valve Operation

SOUL Performance includes a valve controller with every system, and it is required for vehicles not equipped with Porsche Sport Exhaust (PSE). For PSE-equipped cars, full factory functionality is retained by using the factory vacuum lines. The valve controller remains optional on PSE-equipped vehicles, adding the ability to control the valves at all times. Valve operation can be managed through the factory PSE button, the included valve controller fobs, or programmed into HomeLink buttons.

Bolt On and Go

Each SOUL Performance system is constructed from mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel tubing with 2.5-inch over-axle piping and fortified muffler casings engineered for long-term durability. With the valves closed, exhaust gases are directed through the SOUL muffler, which is packed with high-quality sound-deadening material designed to withstand sustained use without blowout, resulting in exceptional drone suppression and a refined driving experience. When the valves are opened, exhaust gases are allowed to exit freely through large 2.5-inch piping, while integrated perforations enable interaction with the muffler, producing a fuller, deeper, and more robust exhaust tone that highlights the character of the engine.

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.

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.

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.
