The SOUL 986 Competition Exhaust Package upgrades the restrictive factory system with a precision-engineered header and exhaust setup, boosting power while delivering an aggressive yet refined Porsche sound.
• Compatible with all Porsche 986 Boxster models (2000–2004)
• Backed by SOUL Performance Products’ Lifetime Warranty for both street and track use
DEVELOPMENT:
The Porsche 986 Boxster is a fantastic sports car with huge potential, but its factory exhaust is overly restrictive. Stock headers use oversized catalytic converters, thin flanges, and crushed primary tubing that hold back performance, while the OEM exhaust adds a second set of converters that further reduce power. The SOUL 986 Competition Exhaust Package eliminates these weak points with a complete header and cat-back system engineered to work together. Designed to maximize performance and sound, the system delivers excitement without unwanted drone—SOUL mufflers keep things reserved at partial throttle, even when paired with catless headers. No valves are needed, making it the perfect choice for drivers who want raw performance and a bold exhaust note on demand, yet comfortable refinement around town.
CONSTRUCTION:
Our headers are precision-engineered and crafted from durable T304L stainless steel, featuring port-matched flanges, smooth-radius primary tubing, and optimized collectors for maximum exhaust flow and power gains. Each system is mandrel-bent from T304L stainless steel and paired with mufflers reinforced for long-term durability. Custom brackets and clamps are supplied for a secure installation on your Boxster. To finish the look, select from a range of 321 stainless steel exhaust tips in various styles and finishes—or work with us to create a fully customized set.
BOLT ON AND GO:
Every exhaust component undergoes strict quality checks and is fixture-tested to guarantee perfect fitment. Each system is foam-packed for safe delivery and comes with new high-grade hardware for the header-to-exhaust flanges. Comprehensive installation instructions are provided in the box—see the notes at the bottom of the page for details.
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT?:
This product may trigger a check engine light due to removal of factory catalytic converters. O2 Spacers are available to reduce any chances of triggering a CEL. We suggest a custom ECU tune to disable any check engine lights (for track use only).
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.
NOTE:
+ This package is not CARB certified and may not be legal for use on emissions controlled vehicles; intended for closed course competition use only
+ Trimming of the inner fender liner and exhaust heat shield is required on all vehicles and headlight auto leveling sensor may need to be disabled / removed and rerouting of brake hard line may be necessary to protect from heat – as such we recommend professional installation. Contact us if you need a dealer / installer recommendation

High quality mufflers offer a refined, sporty tone with minimal drone. Gain the enhanced response, character, and sound that your Porsche deserves.
• Fits all Porsche 981 Boxster / Cayman models (2013–2016)
• Direct bolt-on installation with included instructions
• Choice of multiple exhaust tip styles and finishes—or customize your own
• Covered by SOUL’s Lifetime Warranty for street and track use
DEWELOPMENT:
Following the success of our Valved Exhaust and its ability to fight drone, we wanted to offer a lighter, valveless version that offers an invigorating exhaust note (just like valves open mode on our Valved Exhaust) at all times with the least amount of undesirable elements like droning and rasp. This system is perfect for those who crave an aggressive sound to pair with aftermarket headers and not have it be overbearingly loud. The volume level is delightfully greater than that of PSE (Porsche Sport Exhaust) with valves open while retaining a refined exhaust note. This system is also beneficial for track cars looking for maximum flow in an exhaust but must mind decibel readings. The mufflers are incredibly effective at minimizing drone and encourage a fuller, more robust tone befitting of a Porsche.
CONSTRUCTION:
Each system is constructed from mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel tubing, including robust 2.5″ over-axle pipes, and paired with mufflers reinforced for maximum durability. SOUL mufflers are packed with premium sound-absorbing material engineered to withstand long-term use without breaking down or blowing out.
For a personalized look, select from a wide range of 321 stainless steel exhaust tips in various styles and finishes—or work with us to create a fully custom set. For those seeking performance advantages, titanium single-wall tips are also available, offering the same striking appearance while saving nearly a pound of weight compared to stainless steel.
BOLT ON AND GO:
Each exhaust is rigorously quality-checked, tested in a fixture to guarantee fitment, and then foam packed to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. Thorough installation instructions are included in the box for a straightforward install that can be performed by most DIY enthusiasts.

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.

Unlock the full potential of your 986 Spec Boxster with a race-bred exhaust engineered for maximum durability, reduced weight, and proven performance. Designed specifically for competition use, this system delivers the strength and sound demanded on track while shedding significant weight over factory components.
• Fits Porsche 986 Boxster Base vehicles with 5-speed manual transmission (1997-2004)
• Weight savings: 24.8 lbs / 11.2 kg lighter than stock (14.7 lbs vs. 39.5 lbs)
• Precision-built in-house at SOUL’s Willow Grove, PA facility
• Backed by SOUL Performance Products’ Lifetime Warranty for both street and track use
DEVELOPMENT:
Several Spec racing teams and shops including our development partner, Brandywine Motorwerks, have been seeking an exhaust solution that is durable enough for racing use as existing systems on the market and DIY solutions have been known to fail. We set out to build the most durable system possible while being cost effective and minding weight. A lack of resonance damping in a 986 exhaust system for competition use can cause metal fatigue in the factory headers, resulting in cracking. We crafted bespoke, adjustable brackets to mount the exhaust to the transmission to match movement of the drivetrain to the exhaust opposed to hard mounting to the body. Silicone dampers are also included as part of the brackets to help absorb vibrations. Clamps are not welded to the piping to prevent fatigue and provide easy / efficient replacement – the only welds in the entire system are in the flanges to the headers and every weld is back purged for maximum weld strength and durability. The brackets are adjustable for the best possible fitment and the rear pipes are easily replaced in the event of collision damage. 2″ straight piping keeps exhaust velocity high and weight down. Sound attenuating components like resonators are decidedly absent to reduce weight and complexity as PCA Club Races are not hosted on sound limited days. Should decibel limits be considered for other competition series or HPDE events on sound restricted tracks, alternative solutions can be used. The end result is a race bred system that will hold up to the stresses of racing and last until you podium – and beyond.
CONSTRUCTION:
Each system is made in-house by our fabrication team from mandrel bent .065″ wall, 2″ diameter T304L stainless steel tubing and laser cut brackets. All welds are back purged for increased longevity under the most extreme conditions.
BOLT ON AND GO:
Each exhaust component is rigorously quality-checked, tested in a fixture to ensure perfect fitment, and then foam packed to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. New high grade hardware is included.
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT?:
This race exhaust will trigger a check engine light due to removal of factory catalytic converters and deletion of the secondary o2 sensors. If this is bothersome, some race shops servicing SPB cars recommend turning off the CEL via removal of the CEL bulb.
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.
NOTE + This exhaust is not CARB certified and may not be legal for use on emissions controlled vehicles; intended for closed course competition use only.

Experience the perfect balance of refinement and excitement with the SOUL Street Package for Porsche 981 Boxster and Cayman models. This system pairs SOUL Valved Exhaust with Long Tube Street Headers, delivering noticeable power gains, sharper throttle response, and a soundtrack that adapts to your driving mood—all without triggering a check engine light. With valves closed, the system offers a smooth, drone-free tone ideal for daily driving. Open the valves, and the flat-six unleashes its full roar through a straight-through flow path, exiting via exhaust tips in the style and finish of your choice. Built around large-diameter runners and high-flow catalytic converters, the headers maximize flow while enhancing that signature Porsche sound. Every system is backed by our industry-leading Lifetime Warranty, giving you confidence both on the street and at the track.
Package Includes:
• SOUL Performance Products 981 Cayman Valved Exhaust System
• SOUL Performance Products 981 Cayman Long Tube Street Headers
• Fits all Porsche 981 Boxster / Cayman models (2013–2016)
• Increased performance and sound with no check engine light
• Direct bolt-on installation with included instructions
• Multiple tip styles and finishes available – custom options too
• Covered by SOUL’s Lifetime Warranty for street and track use
DEVELOPMENT:
For the 981 platform, we engineered a system with properly sized 2” runners and optimized collectors to unlock maximum power from the 3.4L engine, while still delivering impressive gains on the 2.7L. We selected high-flow catalytic converters sized for both performance and durability—avoiding the compromises of smaller, cheaper alternatives. The result is a superior exhaust that delivers a broad spectrum of sound: valves open reveal a CUP car–inspired roar, while valves closed provide a refined, drone-free tone. Thanks to SOUL mufflers, even with aftermarket headers the exhaust remains composed and reserved when the valves are shut.
CONSTRUCTION:
Our headers are precision-engineered and crafted from T304L stainless steel for strength and performance. Featuring port-matched flanges, smooth-radius primary tubing, and optimized collectors, they deliver maximum exhaust flow and power gains. Each system is mandrel-bent, fitted with reinforced muffler casings for durability, and rigorously quality-checked before shipping to ensure the highest standards.
TIPS:
Choose from several different tip styles and finishes – from single wall 321 stainless tips to double wall chrome tips. Logo customization and custom tip colours are available by request. Titanium single wall tips are also available and save nearly a pound of weight over stainless steel tips!
BOLT ON AND GO:
Each exhaust is rigorously quality-checked, tested in a fixture to guarantee fitment, and then foam packed to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. Thorough installation instructions are included in the box for a straightforward install that can be performed by most DIY enthusiasts.

The SOUL 986 Street Exhaust Package upgrades your factory system with a precision-engineered header and exhaust setup that boosts power while delivering an aggressive yet refined Porsche sound. Premium high-flow catalytic converters ensure clean performance without triggering check engine lights.
• Compatible with all Porsche 986 Boxster models (2000–2004)
• Backed by SOUL Performance Products’ Lifetime Warranty for both street and track use
DEVELOPMENT:
The Porsche 986 Boxster offers excellent performance potential but suffers from a restrictive factory exhaust. The stock headers use oversized catalytic converters, thin flanges, and crushed primary tubing that limit flow, while the OEM exhaust adds a secondary set of converters that further choke power. The SOUL 986 Street Exhaust Package addresses all of these weak points with a complete header and cat-back system engineered to work in harmony. Designed for performance and sound balance, the system boosts excitement without introducing unwanted drone—SOUL mufflers keep the tone refined during partial throttle, even when paired with aftermarket catless headers. No valves are needed; the result is a system that’s loud when you want it to be, yet comfortably reserved around town.
CONSTRUCTION:
Our headers are crafted from premium T304L stainless steel and engineered for maximum performance. With port-matched flanges, smooth-radius primary tubing, and optimized collectors, they deliver improved exhaust flow and noticeable power gains. Each set is mandrel-bent, rigorously inspected, and fitted with mufflers featuring reinforced casings for long-lasting durability. Merge spikes further enhance flow efficiency at the collector, while a range of 321 stainless steel tip styles and finishes—or fully customized options—let you tailor the perfect look for your Porsche.
BOLT ON AND GO:
Every exhaust component undergoes strict quality checks and is test-fitted in a fixture to guarantee precise alignment. Each system is foam-packed for safe delivery and comes complete with new high-grade hardware for the header-to-exhaust flanges. Detailed installation instructions are also included for a smooth, hassle-free setup.
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.

The factory exhaust system on the Porsche 981 Cayman and Boxster is bulky and restrictive, muting both performance and sound. The SOUL Valved Exhaust System is designed to free the car’s natural character by reducing weight and incorporating a precision valve system that delivers a dramatic transformation in responsiveness, tone, and driving enjoyment.
With the valves closed, the system produces a refined, sporty exhaust note with zero drone—perfect for comfortable daily driving and discreet neighborhood entries. Open the valves, and the flat-six engine comes alive with an intoxicating motorsport-inspired soundtrack, ideal for spirited back-road drives or track sessions.
• Fits all Porsche 981 Boxster / Cayman models (2013–2016)
• Direct bolt-on installation with included instructions
• Choice of multiple exhaust tip styles and finishes—or customize your own
• Valve controller kit included – necessary for cars without PSE and optional for cars with PSE to provide manual valve override
• Covered by SOUL’s Lifetime Warranty for street and track use
DEWELOPMENT:
We wanted to be certain that our system offered a superior spectrum of sound – Cup car inspired with valves open but with a refined, no droning tone with valves closed. The SOUL mufflers practically eliminate droning – even with aftermarket headers the sound is reserved in the cabin with valves closed!
CONSTRUCTION:
Each system is constructed from mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel tubing, featuring 2.5″ over-axle pipes, and equipped with mufflers built with reinforced casings for long-term durability.
• With the valves closed, exhaust gases are directed through SOUL’s high-quality mufflers, packed with premium sound-absorbing material engineered to withstand heavy use without breaking down. These mufflers are highly effective at eliminating drone, channeling gases through perforations into the outer piping for a smooth, refined tone.
• Open the valves, and exhaust gases flow freely through the large 2.5″ straight-through piping, while the perforations allow the exhaust to interact with the muffler—producing a deeper, fuller, and more aggressive sound that captures the true character of the flat-six engine.
TIPS:
Choose from a variety of tip styles and finishes, ranging from sleek single-wall 321 stainless steel to premium double-wall chrome. For a personalized touch, logo engraving and custom tip colors are available upon request. For those seeking performance benefits, lightweight titanium single-wall tips are also offered—shedding nearly a pound compared to stainless steel options.
BOLT ON AND GO:
Each exhaust system undergoes rigorous quality checks and fixture testing to guarantee precise fitment. Every kit includes detailed installation instructions, making the process straightforward for most DIY enthusiasts. Valve operation integrates seamlessly—controlled via the factory PSE button, included valve controller fobs, and even compatible with HomeLink for added convenience.
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 questions or issues that you may have.
