Soul Performance X-Pipe with Polished Chrome Tips for 987.2 / 981 Porsche Boxster & Cayman

Soul Performance X-Pipe with Polished Chrome Tips for 987.2 / 981 Porsche Boxster & Cayman

The sound of the factory rear exhaust on the Boxster / Cayman is greatly admired, but those who desire a different style for their exhaust tips can now find a convenient solution offered by Soul Performance Products. They provide an effortless installation of a bolt-in X-pipe that not only enhances the visual appeal but also improves the sound quality, allowing for the use of custom exhaust tips. By incorporating a cast X-pipe, the exhaust pulses are harmonized, resulting in a more sophisticated and polished exhaust tone.

Development

• The factory “T” tip section in the Boxster / Cayman allows exhaust gases to collide with each other as they exit the muffler and pass through the tips. This cost-saving approach creates turbulence and negatively impacts performance. However, by integrating a seamless, cast X-pipe into the rear section, a more efficient flow path for the exhaust gases is achieved. This improvement is expected to result in a slight increase in gas mileage during cruising and enhanced power output during aggressive acceleration.
• The interior of the cast X-pipe is designed to be smooth, devoid of any protrusions from welds. Unlike non-cast designs, which may fail at this point due to stress and inadequate welding techniques, the cast X-pipe offers superior durability. The decision to prioritize durability was a deliberate choice by Soul Performance Products. Furthermore, these X-sections have been successfully incorporated into their complete range of Boxster/Cayman exhaust systems, which have a proven track record of high performance (as demonstrated by the fastest Boxster ever recorded at Watkins Glen). Additionally, these X-sections are backed by a lifetime warranty for track use, further highlighting their reliability.
• Cast components, such as the X-pipe, have a long-standing history of reliability in original equipment manufacturer (OEM) applications and are widely recognized by the aftermarket performance industry. They have been extensively used in intake plenums and throttle bodies, with IPD Plenums being a notable industry leader in this regard.

Construction

• Soul Performance Products utilizes a cast T304L stainless steel X-pipe, which offers a seamless inner wall and a clean “X” section to optimize flow efficiency. This choice of material ensures durability and longevity. To cater to individual preferences, a variety of options are available for the exhaust tips. These include single-wall 321 stainless tips with either a slash cut or straight cut design, as well as chrome double-wall tips in multiple finishes. For those seeking lightweight alternatives, titanium single-wall tips are also offered, providing a weight reduction of nearly one pound compared to stainless steel tips.
• To maintain exceptional quality standards, each component undergoes meticulous quality checks. Additionally, they are tested in fixtures to ensure proper fitment. To safeguard against any potential damage during shipping, the components are carefully foam packed, guaranteeing that they arrive in perfect condition to the customer.
