NOTE: In the United Kingdom, sports catalytic converters and bypass pipes do not have type approval and are not legally permitted for use on vehicles manufactured after 1st March 2001. They are not MOT compliant and cannot be used on public roads. These components are intended solely for race and track use.
For vehicles manufactured before 1st March 2001, a non-type approved sports catalytic converter may be fitted, provided it offers comparable performance to the original and the vehicle continues to meet the applicable emissions standards for its age. The vehicle must still pass an MOT test.
If you are located outside the UK, please check your local laws and regulations to ensure compliance.

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
Please note: This item is not a stock product. It is a special order part and once ordered with us is not subject to cancellation or return unless proven not fit for purpose or defected.
