Benefits of an X pipe on 981 GTS

[JFLB]

Soul Performance make a direct replacement X pipe and tips for 981 Cayman. Has anyone done this swap ?

I didn’t do the swap, but the previous owner of my 981CS put the Fabspeed x-pipe & tips on.

What would you like to know?

Side by side, there is definitely a sound difference at low RPM, but not higher RPM. Performance gain is zero - you’ll need modifications further upstream for any appreciable gain by all accounts. They do look fab..

Worth 500 for the looks and a fruitier idle? Not sure it would be top of my list, but I’m glad I have them.

Thanks for your thoughts Chaps. The GTS has the PSE as standard so upper RPM is already quite good. I am tempted by not only the looks but the implied efficientcy of sweeping bends. The car has already been remapped by RPM (good gains in bhp and lots of torque as well), really impressed with their facility & service.

Out of interest, do you know where the map was from?

As for x-pipe… I have an M&M one available.
Brand new, never fitted or used.

I fitted these on my Cayman R. They were a bit of a nightmare to fit and definitely not plug and play for the average DIY mechanic. I did it purely because the original ones had eroded away and looked very tired.

Apologies Chaps.
I had a complete moment this morning regarding the remap noted above not sure what i was thinking about.
The remap was carried by DMS Automotive near Southampton.

I have changed to separate pipes from the rear boxes... more character than mixing both sides of the engine...
