SOUL Race Exhaust System. Porsche 981 Boxster / Cayman MANUAL ❭ POR.981M.RER
- Porsche Boxster 981 2.7L 2012-16
- Porsche Boxster 981 S / GTS 3.4L 2012-16
- Porsche Cayman 2.7L 981 2013-16
- Porsche Cayman S / GTS 3.4L 981 2013-16
SOUL’s Race Exhaust System is designed for aggressive track use and built around maximum durability, lightness, and performance.
• Fits all Porsche 981 Cayman / Boxster vehicles (2013-2016) MANUAL TRANSMISSION, with factory or SOUL headers (differences in tolerances from other manufacturers can create issues with over axle pipe clearance)
• Designed and built in-house at our Willow Grove, PA facility
• System weighs approximately up to 18 lbs / 8.1 kg less than factory exhaust non-PSE components ( 30 lbs vs 44 lbs non-PSE / 48 PSE with mounting brackets included)
• All Soul Performance Products components are backed by a renowned Lifetime Warranty for both street and track use
DEVELOPMENT::
Our mission was to engineer a lightweight, durable, and cost-effective race exhaust system for the 981 Boxster and Cayman—one that delivers proven performance, reliability, and accessibility for serious track enthusiasts. By collaborating with respected shops, technicians, and seasoned drivers who have conducted their own independent testing over the years—including special thanks to Bryan Schute at Speed Sport Tuning and the teams at LN Engineering / BRS—we developed a track-bred system designed to meet the demands of competitive driving.
PIPING:
The system features full 2.5” over-axle piping, carefully profiled to provide sufficient clearance for axles and sway bar end links—even on aggressively lowered or heavily modified vehicles.
BESPOKE BRACKETS & MOUNTS:
Traditional welded hangers and brackets are prone to failure under the rigors of racing—a failure that can end a track day instantly. To solve this, SOUL designed a reinforced mounting solution that sheds over 5 lbs compared to the OEM setup, while remaining modular and easy to repair or replace after a track incident.
The forward piping connects to a custom SOUL transmission mounting brace—engineered for both manual and PDK models—via heavy-duty Mikalor band clamps. Additional rubber vibration dampeners support the over-axle piping, minimizing stress from flex and vibration across the system to ensure long-term durability under extreme use.
CONSTRUCTION:
Each system is handcrafted in-house by our skilled fabrication team using mandrel-bent .065″ wall, 2.5″ diameter T304L stainless steel tubing. Brackets are laser-cut, press brake-formed, and TIG welded for maximum strength, while all welds are back-purged to ensure long-term durability under the most extreme racing conditions.
SOUND:
This system is designed with track performance as the priority, not sound suppression. It is extremely loud, and even with resonators, some drone will be present. We do not recommend pairing this exhaust with aftermarket headers for street use. At wide-open throttle, however, the sound is nothing short of exhilarating—raw, aggressive, and unmistakably motorsport. For a more balanced option suited to daily driving, we suggest our Valved Exhaust System.
BOLT-ON INSTALLATION:
Every exhaust is rigorously quality-checked and fixture-tested to guarantee perfect fitment. Systems are securely foam-packed for safe delivery and include all-new high-grade hardware for the header-to-exhaust flanges. Thorough instructions are provided, making installation straightforward for most DIY enthusiasts.
LIFETIME WARRANTY:
Enjoy your SOUL exhaust components with confidence on both the street and track as they are covered by our Lifetime Warranty! Our team will quickly work with you to resolve any issues or answer any questions that you may have.

Sound, design, and performance have combined to create this stunning exhaust. The Akrapovič sound engineers have produced a rich, harmonic, high-frequency tone from the system in the upper rev range, which perfectly combines with the deep sound in the lower range to provide an aural experience in the cabin with no drone and a sound that lingers long after the throttle is released.
Constructed from lightweight high-grade titanium, with parts made in the in-house foundry to create a perfect fit within the limited space available, the three mufflers – two side and one central – are configured in a unique way, perfectly engineered by the Akrapovič technicians. There is a choice between two different sets of round titanium tailpipes, sandblasted and coated, and available in a natural titanium finish or black. The inner side of the tailpipes features a dynamic relief surface for increased aesthetic value. An engraved logotype adds to the visual presence.
Power gains of +4.8 kW at 3,000 rpm and a torque increase of +15.8 Nm at 2,900 rpm were recorded on the Akrapovič dyno, using a Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 with a stock exhaust system for comparison. This gives the system – which is designed for racing track use only, and is not intended for street use – performance to match its looks and innovative design.
Optional extras are available: there is a Link pipe set in titanium for the Slip-On Line Race (Titanium) upgrade, and a carbon-fibre diffuser, in matte or high gloss, can be added to emphasise the design of the Akrapovič exhaust tailpipes. For more control over the exhaust system's sound, the optional Akrapovič Sound Kit is available to control the exhaust valves at any time and allow the driver to choose the setting preferred.
Fitment notice: A modification of fitting brackets done by Porsche on 718 GT4/Spyder and 718 Cayman/Boxster GTS 4.0 produced approximately after February 2020 was identified. Please turn to your Area sales manager for detailed explanation on differences in order to choose the appropriate exhaust for your car.
