What do SOUL Performance Turn Down Tips do?

SOUL Performance Turn Down Tips angle your exhaust exit downward and away from trackside sound meters, which can lower your measured reading by several decibels. They are built for track days where a Boxster or Cayman has to meet a posted sound limit. They do not change power or street manners; they redirect the exhaust so you have a better chance of passing the sound check.

Will these fit any Boxster or Cayman?

Only if the car already runs a SOUL exhaust system or SOUL Bolt-On X-Pipe Tips. The turn down tips clamp onto SOUL hardware, so they are not compatible with a factory exhaust or another brand's system. They fit the 986, 987, 981, and 982 Boxster and Cayman, including the Boxster Spyder and Cayman GT4, when a SOUL exhaust is installed.

How hard are they to install?

They are a direct bolt-on that most owners fit in under fifteen minutes with basic hand tools, with no cutting or welding. Accuseal clamps hold them in place and seal the joint. Because they clamp on and off quickly, many drivers run them only for track days and remove them for the street. Professional installation is recommended for correct fit and sealing.

Do turn down tips guarantee I will pass a track sound check?

No. They can lower a measured reading by several decibels by directing sound toward the ground and away from the meter, but the result depends on the track, where the meter sits, and the rest of your exhaust. SOUL offers them as a way to improve your odds of passing a sound limit, not as a guaranteed pass.

What are the tips made from?

They are precision-cut from 0.065-inch wall 321 stainless steel, a heat-tolerant alloy, and hand-finished before shipping. The raw stainless develops a golden tint over time as it heat-cycles, which is normal and does not affect performance. Every set is quality-checked and backed by SOUL's lifetime warranty to the original owner for street and track use.

How are they built and shipped?

SOUL builds each set to order and contacts you to confirm your exact exhaust setup before manufacturing, so the tips match your car. They ship with Accuseal clamps and installation instructions. Because they are made to order, expect a lead time, and SOUL will keep you updated on the build and shipping of your turn down tips.

SOUL Performance Turn Down Tips for 98x Porsche Boxster / Cayman

SOUL Performance Turn Down Tips give track-day drivers a fast, bolt-on way to quiet a Porsche Boxster or Cayman when the session comes with a sound limit. Built to thread onto an existing SOUL exhaust system or SOUL Bolt-On X-Pipe Tips, they angle the exhaust exit toward the ground and away from trackside metering stations, cutting measured readings by several decibels so you spend the day on track instead of parked. SOUL cuts each tip from 0.065-inch wall 321 stainless steel, finishes it by hand, and secures it with Accuseal clamps for a leak-free seal, then builds the set to match your car after confirming your exact exhaust setup with you directly. Installation takes under fifteen minutes with no cutting or modification, and the tips are backed by SOUL’s lifetime warranty. Hand-built in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, they are a small, purpose-built piece of kit for owners who actually run their cars.

Development

SOUL built the Turn Down Tips for one job, lowering the sound a Boxster or Cayman registers at a track’s metering station. By redirecting the exhaust stream toward the ground and away from the sensor, the tips can drop measured readings by several decibels, which is often the margin between passing and sitting out a session. SOUL is clear that the result depends on the track, the meter placement, and the rest of the exhaust (so a pass is improved, not guaranteed).

Construction

Each set is precision-cut from 0.065-inch wall 321 stainless steel, the same heat-tolerant alloy SOUL uses across its tips and systems, then hand-finished and quality-checked before it ships. Accuseal clamps hold the tips securely and seal the joint without welding, so nothing is permanent. Because every car’s exhaust differs slightly, SOUL contacts each customer to confirm the setup and build a configuration that fits. The raw stainless takes on a golden tint over time as it heat-cycles, which is normal for the material.

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.
