Description

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

SOUL Performance sharpens both the tone and appearance of the 987.2 / 981 Boxster and Cayman with its Bolt-On X-Pipe with Straight Cut Single Wall Satin Black tips, a direct replacement for the factory “T” tip section that retains the stock rear mufflers. By replacing the restrictive factory merge with a smooth cast T304L stainless X-pipe, this assembly allows exhaust pulses to cross over cleanly, reducing turbulence, improving flow, and lending a crisper, more refined, and sportier exhaust note in both standard and PSE sport modes. The Straight Cut Single Wall tips finished in Satin Black give the rear of the car a purposeful, motorsport-inspired, stealthy aesthetic that still feels OEM-plus. Each X-pipe features a smooth, weld-free internal “X” for durability and consistent performance, leveraging the same design proven across SOUL’s Boxster / Cayman systems, including track-proven applications. Every unit is fixture-checked for precise fitment, thoroughly quality-inspected, foam packed for safe delivery, and backed by SOUL Performance’s renowned lifetime warranty for use on both street and track.

Development

In the factory Boxster / Cayman “T” tip section, exhaust gases collide before exiting the tips, leading to turbulence and compromised performance as a cost-cutting measure. However, incorporating a smooth, cast X-pipe into the rear section establishes a more efficient flow path for the exhaust gases. This improvement is expected to slightly increase gas mileage during cruising and enhance power during aggressive acceleration. The interior casting of the X-pipe is designed to be smooth, without any protrusions from welds. Non-cast designs often face failure at this point due to stress and potential welding technique deficiencies. The conscious decision has been made to offer the most durable X-pipe solution possible. These X-sections have been utilized with great success in SOUL Performance Products’ complete line of Boxster / Cayman exhaust systems, which have demonstrated exceptional performance, including being used on the fastest Boxster ever recorded at Watkins Glen. Furthermore, these X-pipes are backed by a lifetime track warranty, emphasizing their reliability. Cast components like these have been extensively proven in OEM applications. They are highly regarded in the aftermarket performance industry, particularly in intake plenums and throttle bodies, exemplified by IPD Plenums.

Construction

SOUL Performance Products utilizes a cast T304L stainless steel X-pipe with a smooth inner wall and clean “X” section to optimize flow. Customers can choose from a range of options to personalize their exhaust system, including single-wall 321 stainless tips in either slash cut or straight-cut designs and chrome double-wall tips with various finishes. Additionally, titanium single-wall tips offer a weight reduction of nearly a pound compared to stainless steel tips while still providing exceptional performance. Every component undergoes a thorough quality check and is meticulously tested in a fixture to ensure precise fitment. To ensure its safe arrival in impeccable condition, each item is carefully foam packed for secure transportation.

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.
