SOUL Performance X-Pipe with Slash Satin Black Tips for 987.2 / 981 Porsche Boxster & Cayman / GT4

SOUL Performance Bolt-On X-Pipe with Slash Cut Single Wall Satin Black Tips for the 987.2 / 981 Boxster and Cayman sharpens both the look and voice of the car while retaining the stock rear mufflers you already enjoy. Replacing the restrictive factory “T” tip section with a smooth cast T304L stainless X-pipe, this assembly lets exhaust pulses cross over cleanly, trimming turbulence for better flow, a crisper, more refined exhaust note, and a subtle bump in response when you get on the throttle. The Slash Cut Single Wall tips, formed from 321 stainless and finished in Satin Black, fill out the rear valance with a purposeful, motorsport-inspired appearance that reads OEM-plus rather than flashy. Engineered as a true direct bolt-on for all 2009–2016 987.2 / 981 Boxster and Cayman models with factory exhaust or Porsche Sport Exhaust (PSE), each system is rigorously fixture-checked for fitment, thoroughly quality-inspected, foam packed for safe delivery, and backed by SOUL Performance’s renowned Lifetime Warranty for confident use on both street and track.

Development

• The factory “T” tip section found in the Boxster / Cayman models creates turbulence and restricts performance by causing exhaust gasses to collide before exiting the tips. To overcome this limitation, SOUL Performance Products introduces a smooth and cast X-pipe into the rear section, facilitating a more efficient flow path for the exhaust gases. This enhancement not only results in a small increase in gas mileage during cruising but also delivers greater power when accelerating aggressively.
• The interior of the cast X-pipe is designed to be smooth, without any protrusions from welds. This is in contrast to non-cast designs that can be prone to failure at the weld points due to stress and potential welding issues. By consciously opting for a cast X-pipe, SOUL Performance Products ensures the most durable solution possible. These X-sections have been extensively utilized and proven successful in their full line of Boxster / Cayman exhaust systems, which have demonstrated outstanding performance (even on the fastest Boxster ever recorded at Watkins Glen). Moreover, SOUL Performance Products stands behind their track usage and offers a lifetime warranty for these systems.
• Cast components, such as the X-pipe, have a proven track record in OEM applications and have long been favored in the aftermarket performance industry for their reliability and performance gains. This is exemplified by their utilization in intake plenums and throttle bodies by IPD Plenums, a renowned name in the industry.

Construction

• To optimize flow, a cast T304L stainless steel X-pipe with a smooth inner wall and clean “X” section is utilized. This design ensures maximum efficiency. Personalize your exhaust system according to your preferences by selecting from a variety of single-wall 321 stainless tips, available in slash cut or straight cut styles, or opt for chrome double-wall tips in various finishes. For those seeking lightweight options, titanium single wall tips are also offered, providing a weight reduction of nearly one pound compared to stainless steel tips.
• To maintain the highest standards, each component undergoes rigorous quality checks and is thoroughly tested in a fixture to guarantee perfect fitment. Additionally, to ensure it reaches you in impeccable condition, the product is carefully foam packed for secure transportation.
