SOUL Performance Track Exhaust Package with Dual Wall Tips for 982 Porsche 718 Boxster / Cayman

SOUL Performance engineered the Track Package for the Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman (2017+) as a purpose-built, straight-through dual exhaust solution for drivers who want maximum turbo character, sharper response, and a truly aggressive, track-focused sound. In this manual-transmission configuration, the package combines SOUL Performance’s Competition Downpipe with the SOUL Performance Exhaust to upgrade the restrictive downpipe and deliver a major increase in snarls, crackles, burbles, and backfires, while the dual-pipe layout helps bring out a more distinctly Porsche-like boxer rumble. Constructed from mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel with 2.5-inch OD over-axle piping, thick cast flanges, durable flex sections, and bespoke mounting brackets, the system is designed for long-term durability and reduced NVH under demanding use, while providing an 18-21 lb weight savings versus the factory base / PSE exhaust. Because the package eliminates mufflers and resonators, cabin presence is significantly increased and overall volume is very high, making it best suited for enthusiasts prioritizing performance and excitement over daily-driver subtlety. SOUL Performance includes new hardware and gaskets, fixture-tests each exhaust to verify proper fitment, foam packs the components for safe delivery, and backs the package with a lifetime warranty. Due to the increased exhaust flow, SOUL Performance strongly recommends an ECU tune to address potential boost spikes and to reduce the likelihood of a check engine light from the competition downpipe, and the package is intended for off-road / competition use only and is not CARB certified.

Development

• SOUL Performance recognized that the 718 platform’s extensive sound deadening, combined with the turbocharger, creates a mellow cabin experience with both the base exhaust and Porsche Sport Exhaust (PSE). For drivers who want a more aggressive character, SOUL Performance developed an aggressive system designed for aggressive use. After Suncoast Parts sought a more durable solution for a track vehicle that experienced an exhaust failure with another brand, SOUL Performance strengthened its Performance Exhaust to excel under sustained racetrack conditions. Flex sections in the over-axle piping and bespoke mounting brackets for both manual and PDK transmissions promote long-term durability while reducing NVH. By Upgrading the restrictive downpipe, the system improves drivability and unlocks the turbo’s character with a major increase in snarling and crackles. Smooth mandrel-bent piping that transitions from 90 mm down to dual 55 mm outlets helps sharpen throttle response and deliver a more exciting exhaust note. Designed to bolt on with no modifications, it offers a straightforward, reversible way to make the 718 Boxster or Cayman more engaging, and SOUL Performance strongly recommends an ECU tune to help prevent boost spikes that can result from the significant increase in exhaust flow. The dual-pipe layout further promotes a smoother, more refined rumble than single-pipe conversions, producing a more distinctly Porsche engine note.

Sound

• During development, SOUL Performance repeatedly heard feedback that this was among the best-sounding 718 exhaust setups enthusiasts had experienced – and SOUL Performance agrees. The system delivers an impressive level of snarling and crackling that carries from a distance. Because it eliminates mufflers and resonators, it adds the in-cabin presence that is largely missing from the factory setup, and when paired with a competition downpipe, overall volume will be on the loud side. As a straight-pipe-style configuration, it is designed to sound and perform accordingly, making it ideal for drivers seeking an invigorating, track-focused experience, though it may be too intrusive for casual daily use. For customers looking for an absolutely drone-free setup with an aftermarket downpipe, SOUL Performance recommends the Valved Exhaust System.

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.
