The SOUL Race Exhaust System is designed for Porsche 987.2 Boxster and Cayman owners who prioritize maximum sound, substantial weight reduction, durability, and track-focused performance. Developed specifically around the demands of aggressive driving, the system replaces the heavy factory rear exhaust with a lightweight architecture engineered to withstand sustained high-temperature and high-RPM use.
SOUL developed the system using free-flowing over-axle piping designed to maintain clearance around the axles and sway-bar end links, including on lowered or heavily modified vehicles. Rather than relying solely on conventional exhaust hangers welded directly to the piping, SOUL uses a purpose-built transmission-mounted support system designed to reduce stress and improve durability during demanding track use.
The forward exhaust piping attaches to a bespoke SOUL transmission mounting brace using heavy-duty Mikalor band clamps. Additional rubber vibration dampeners support the over-axle piping and help isolate movement and vibration throughout the exhaust assembly. SOUL's mounting system alone saves more than 5 lbs compared with the factory mounting hardware.
Weight reduction is one of the most significant benefits of the Race Exhaust. The complete SOUL system weighs approximately 27 lbs, compared with approximately 46 lbs for the factory exhaust components with mounting brackets, reducing vehicle weight by approximately 19 lbs / 8.6 kg.
This is an intentionally aggressive exhaust system. SOUL developed it primarily for track performance rather than maximum sound attenuation and specifically describes the system as very loud. Resonators help shape the exhaust note, but cabin drone will still be present. For owners prioritizing maximum naturally aspirated flat-six sound, reduced weight, and track-focused durability, the SOUL Race Exhaust represents the most aggressive rear exhaust option for the 987.2 platform.
Fits 2009–2012 Porsche 987.2 Boxster, Boxster S, Cayman, Cayman S, Boxster Spyder, and Cayman R

Designed and manufactured in-house at SOUL Performance Products in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania
The SOUL Race Exhaust System was developed primarily for track performance rather than sound attenuation.
SOUL specifically describes the system as very loud and notes that cabin drone will remain present even with the resonators. Pairing the Race Exhaust with aftermarket headers will further increase overall exhaust volume and intensity.
SOUL does not recommend pairing the Race Exhaust with aftermarket headers for normal street use. Owners looking for a more refined exhaust system with the ability to significantly reduce volume when desired should consider the SOUL Valved Exhaust System instead.
The SOUL Race Exhaust is designed to fit vehicles equipped with the factory Porsche headers or compatible SOUL headers.
Because the over-axle piping is designed around specific chassis clearances, dimensional differences in some third-party aftermarket header systems may create fitment or clearance issues. Customers using non-SOUL aftermarket headers should confirm compatibility before ordering.
This DasMotoring listing includes SOUL Straight-Cut Single-Wall exhaust tips in Signature Satin.
To keep ordering simple, alternate tip configurations are not offered through the standard product options. If you would like a different SOUL tip configuration, contact DasMotoring before ordering and we can confirm availability and pricing.
