Description

SOUL Performance Street Long-Tube Headers for 987.2 Porsche Boxster / Cayman

SOUL Performance Products’ Long Tube Street Headers for the Porsche 987.2 Boxster and Cayman are designed around large-diameter, free-flowing HJS HD 200-cell catalytic converters and true long-tube runners to unlock real gains in power, throttle response, and flat-six character, all without triggering a check engine light when used as intended. Optimized 2″ primary runners and collectors are specifically sized for the 987.2’s 3.4L and 2.9L engines, helping the car pull harder through the midrange and up top instead of relying on a generic one-size-fits-all header design. Each set is hand-built from T304L stainless steel with port-matched flanges, smooth-radius primaries, and carefully engineered collectors, then rigorously quality-checked in-house before shipping to ensure long-term durability and a precise seal.The premium HJS HD 200-cell cats are EURO 4-capable and use a robust triple-foil core for outstanding resilience under heat and load, so owners don’t have to compromise between flow, reliability, and emissions efficiency. Designed as a direct bolt-on for all 2009-2012 987.2 Boxster and Cayman models, these headers integrate cleanly with the factory exhaust, weigh about 1.8lb less than stock, and are backed by SOUL’s renowned Lifetime Warranty for street and track use, making them a compelling choice for enthusiasts who want meaningful performance gains and a richer exhaust note without sacrificing everyday usability.

Development & Testing

SOUL Performance Products took a specialized approach for the 987.2 platform, carefully configuring the sizing of the runners (2″) and collectors to optimize power output from the 3.4L engine while delivering significant gains for the 2.9L variant. Through dyno testing on a Dynojet, they achieved impressive peak gains of 7whp and 8ft-lbs of torque at 4100rpm when combining these headers with their Valved Exhaust system on the SOUL project Cayman S with PDK transmission.

Construction

Every individual header is meticulously crafted from T304L stainless steel and subjected to thorough in-house quality checks. The design incorporates proven elements such as port matched flanges, primary tubing with smooth radii, and collectors optimized for efficient exhaust flow. These combined features synergistically contribute to achieving maximum power gains.

HJS Catalysts

SOUL Performance Products incorporates the utmost quality catalytic converters, renowned for their industry-leading flow and exceptional durability. These converters demonstrate impressive efficiency, meeting stringent EURO 4 emission standards while enabling increased flow, all without triggering a check engine light. The HD design utilizes premium triple foil winding to ensure optimal strength. Moreover, the inclusion of a brazing stripe as an additional feature enhances durability, preventing core movement or damage even under sustained high horsepower applications. SOUL Performance Products deliberately utilizes a generously sized catalyst to facilitate maximum gains, leaving no room for compromises in performance.

Bolt On & Go

Every set of headers undergoes meticulous testing within a fixture to guarantee flawless fitment. Subsequently, they are carefully foam packed to ensure they reach their destination in impeccable condition. Additionally, the package includes comprehensive installation instructions, facilitating a straightforward installation process suitable for most do-it-yourself enthusiasts. Rest assured, the headers come with new, high-grade hardware specifically designed for secure attachment between the headers and 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.
