Soul Performance X-Pipe with Slash Brushed Tips for 987.2 / 981 Porsche Boxster & Cayman

Soul Performance X-Pipe with Slash Brushed Tips for 987.2 / 981 Porsche Boxster & Cayman

If car enthusiasts appreciate the sound produced by the factory rear exhaust on their Boxster / Cayman but wish to modify the appearance of their exhaust tips, Soul Performance Products offers a user-friendly solution. Their bolt-in X-pipe enables an effortless upgrade in aesthetics and sound quality, allowing individuals to pair it with their preferred exhaust tips. The cast X-pipe efficiently smooths exhaust pulses, producing a more polished and refined sound.

Development

• The original “T” tip section found in the factory Boxster / Cayman exhaust design leads to turbulence and performance drawbacks as the exhaust gasses collide before exiting the tips. This cost-saving approach hinders efficiency. However, a smoother and more efficient flow path for the exhaust gases is achieved by incorporating a seamless, cast X-pipe into the rear section. This enhancement is expected to slightly increase gas mileage during cruising and improved power during aggressive acceleration. The casting of the X-pipe’s interior ensures a smooth surface without any protrusions from welds. In contrast, non-cast designs may fail at this point due to stress and improper welding techniques. Soul Performance Products has deliberately decided to offer the most durable X-pipe solution available. These X-sections have been successfully integrated into their full range of Boxster / Cayman exhaust systems, demonstrating exceptional performance (including being utilized on the fastest Boxster to date at Watkins Glen). Additionally, these X-pipes are warranted for lifetime track use, highlighting their reliability. Cast components like these have been extensively proven in OEM applications and by well-established aftermarket performance brands, such as IPD Plenums, known for their intake plenums and throttle bodies.

Construction

• A cast T304L stainless steel X-pipe with a smooth inner wall and clean “X” section is employed to optimize flow. Personalize your exhaust according to your preferences by selecting from a variety of options, including single-wall 321 stainless tips (available in slash cut or straight cut), chrome double-wall tips in various finishes, and even titanium single-wall tips, which are not only lightweight but also save nearly a pound compared to stainless steel tips. Every component undergoes thorough quality checks and is meticulously tested in a fixture to ensure proper fitment. To guarantee its pristine condition upon arrival, each item is carefully foam packed.

• Direct bolt-on installation
