Can’t help yourself with the exhaust mods can you haha! Excellent, sounds amazing!

Gotta say...that sounds epic! What a great value mod with the flex to go standard when you need to.

That sounds ferocious, what a great upgrade.

Great video , excellent work 👏

Nice mod, good to have the option of loud & quiet all built into the one system. Brembo discs are great, put them on mine. The hats are nicely painted and they have updated the internal cooling fins, means they are also no longer directional.

I’ve just bought a 3.2 Boster S 2003 in guards red, your videos helped me purchase it mate, don’t pick it up till 13th July as my lease car goes back then, cannot wait to get behind the wheel, one thing I did notice is the bloody pedals are so close together, on my test drive I had Yeezys on and pushed the brake and accelerator at same time lol

Exciting Video! Sounds like you're driving motorbike with that new exhaust !

Porsche sounds great Joel, I feel another Nurburgring trip in the very near future 👍

I like the ‘can you explain it for the viewers please?’. Genius

great video joel as usual, wouldnt mind one of them myself a boxster does appeal to me, also ive defo never been over 70 either :P

Love this car Joel 😀😀😀😀

I did a similar mod to my 2004 Z4 3.0...less than $300US including labor. The remote control allows for 4 different levels of noise (from near-silent to a monster). Going under overpasses or driving thru a parking garage, it's glorious. Juvenile? Unquestionably. But like you Joel, puts a huge smile on my face everytime...a 2nd mod I did...adding a bass shaker (particularly if you've got a convertible)...makes the stock BMW stereo sound incredible! Thanks for the vid...I really doubt that I will ever part with my manual Z4...I never tire of its performance, comfort, and sounds (stereo and exhaust). Be well Joel!!

That sounds as good as my new Design tek deep sound back box that I've just had fitted to my boxster S.

What a fab bunch they were and great lending you wheels

Sounds nice Joel 👍how about a video on the journey to the ring and the process of getting in and around the track,and a cost for us that would like to give it a try. Enjoy your time and be safe 👍

Sounded amazing under that bridge

Car sounds amazing Joel! 🤯😂 I so want to straight pipe my car now!

Great mod👍👍👍👍👍👍

god am going to miss engine sounds when the world goes electric. it gave that car some life. absolutely love it

This is perfect I like noise but not noise all the time

Superb! Going to order a set of these ASAP!

Would love to see a Dyno run. Wonder how much HP it still hase. And if the valve exhaust does give it any extra HP.

you can call me weird and boring, but i love the 928 in the background

Sounds good 🚗🚙🚘👍👍👍👍

You Sir, are a big kid 😂 Sounds fantastic!

I was laying in the bath watching this tonight and when I looked up I heard Joel saying my name 😂🤣 didn’t know what was going on at first 😂🤣 Car sounds mint. I’ve never really looked at these older models before but I’m tempted to get one 👍

If you are heading to the ring keep an eye out for me! I'm heading over tonight in my 986 black Boxster

Sounds great Joel 😁👍🏻 As a fellow Porsche owner, do you know if they (Spyder Performance) have plans to do this modification for any of the 911 models? Mines a 997.1 C4S cab 😏

love ittt

Great video. Any drone Joel?

Green hell is going to be a blast in that I am sure!

Alright, I just stumbled over this video and one question pops up all the time, why don‘t you show some love to your porshe? If it was mine, I would do a complete detail and just drive in the summer. Anyway, great content! Thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻

Joel what’s the alternative and similar functionality exhaust set for the boxster 2.5L…? And available here in California?

How will the inspection react to this, will it go through with this setup?

I love everything done in this video, amazing but stealthy exhaust (I love discreet cars), fixing warped brake discs though I hope those Brembos are good (something I currently have, 9 months after installing new Brembos, apparently I ran through water?! Warping seems a common issue with Brembos) and fixing wheels, which causes steering wheel judder at high speeds, which is something my mother's car has because she hit quite a lot of curbs. So a lot of satisfying stuff I would have wanted to get done myself 😄

Will you put a link up to order this Joel?

What does the remote look like?

i would like to know what car/porsche dean has.

Would u say the boxster is better than the z4?and do u reckon a boxster s is a good cheap alternative to a z4m?

same as haywad and scott bypass?

Apologies if you're already aware: to minimise the risk of brake disc warp on track days, stick to 5 laps max, one warm up, three hot, one cool down with only light use of the brakes. Also, don't apply the handbrake in the pits, leave it in gear.

Joel's probably going to the Nürburgring again!

Much better!!! ;)

Sounds awesome, dod Joel influence La Rose Porsche to have their own channel??

will this be available in USA?

Hey buddy where can I get that for my 2000 Boxster and how much is it I’m in California?

Is it back to the Isle of Wight again?

Nurburg track by any chance Joel?

It looks like you got two right side discs in the front... How can they put back the wheels with that filthy calipers? Nice sound and a smart solution!

It's criminal that they just don't come from the factory like this. If they had they would get the respect they deserve.

Not sure you will be opening them valves if you take it to a track day as they have sound rules and that sounds way over the limit.

Hey Joel, I've got a valved exhaust. When the valves open it actually makes my ears hurt. Bit boomy at mway speeds though...

wicked price, wish they made one for the 987 that was more affordable than £1kl

When it comes to sell the porchse, I'd love to buy it

Hi Joel, Is this bypass prone to droning ? (Drone effect that reportedly happens around 2500rpm ). ? Cheers from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

Great fun!!!!! I believe exhaust cut-outs were an option on many of the larger cars just after WW1. The gentry of the day would use them during their continental tours. I would imagine the eco nuts would have your video banned. Ha ha.

How do brake discs warp? I had a Saab 93 years ago and it kept warping its front discs, I changed them 3 times in a fairly short time....

I had the bypass mod done on mine which is effectively two pipes bypassing the backbox and fed in to the tailpipe. It did sound really nice but was way to loud and i ended up hating it as it sounded really antisocial. I ended up swapping it out for an original spec. I expect yours is really really loud looking at the size of the valved openings... but as long as you enjoy it👍 One question though...why does it not effect the fuel/air mix, as surely opening up big holes close to the o2 sensors in gonna play havoc with them even though its down stream?

Just a couple of questions regarding your experience . As i've now fitted the system but I do have some questions: 1) there does appear to be a small amount of exhaust coming out of the valve output when the valves are closed - is this normal? 2) the sound when the valves are closed is louder and bit more throater than stock (not a bad thing at all!) But wanted to check this is normal too? And finally, if this is normal (3) I assume the car will still pass its MOT emissions test when the valves are closed?

What happened to the trading up project 🤔

I guess we all know this isn’t what you had in mind but for a split second I had hopes you were gonna take it up to Scotland and back on a tank.

Bro you had not only the secondary cats on there, I'm assuming you also had the primary cats... If you really want to be impressed by the sound of a bypass valve, removing both sets of cats would likely yield a more potent result. 😊

Where you order this parts ?

Can you get a similar thing for a Z4?

ah, the pilgrimage to the nurburgring, a true driver's journey

Left front disc looks wrong. The vent hole pattern is handed L or R. The holes should sweep backwards toward the edge of the disc on the upper part of the disc. Brembo used to do a Left and Right disc for 996/986

The burden of a older car, it needs a lot of love and parts!

Interesting .... I have a 2003 S and will certainly be interested in the Exhaust bypass .... groovy

the boxster S 3.2 from the 986 series with two cats of four removed and a high flow exhaust.... really one of the best sounding Porsches ever. not a carrera gt... but you can hear the induction noise as well... my 911s, just don't sound as good. faster yes. sound. no. and dropping two of the four cats definitely increases the power output.

Hi Joel

👀👀 Nürburgring👀👀

🎠💥💥

I've just got one of Spyder Performance catback exhaust and my word it's far too loud with the valves open. Sounds a little louder than stock with them closed. I am actually considering taking it back off its so antisocial. Really disappointed 😞

The valved exhaust is not on the website 😒

Now take it to central London and see if it meets the 75db limit open 😂, also the ring were I assume your off have a strict noise limit and will ask you to leave so be careful

Really interesting video Joel. I’m set on buying a Porsche mate, can I pick your brains please? Can’t really afford a 911 and I’d like a convertible. Obviously that leaves the Boxster but I am slightly put off by the poor man’s Porsche/Hairdressers car label. Am I being wrongly deterred?

CLEAN THOSE WHEELS!

A VW bug with a baja exhaust

Not for me. I think it would get tiring on a long journey.

Too loud to be honest mate and not the best of noise, but as long as your happy and like you say a cheap mod.

When you think who wants an electric car?

I realise decat is wrong …..😇 but isn’t this a bit of a pointless cheat. Reminds me taping a playing card to your bike frame to get a motorbike noise as it whirrs against your spokes! 😚

sounds like a porsche

Hi, I love your videos but I think you are misleading your followers with "under £500" information. I went on the garage's website then spoke to the owner in the phone. The price for the system is £355+VAT (£72.50) The owner said it takes about 2.5 hours to fit it and it is £100 per hour + VAT which is another £250 + VAT (£50). The total is £605 + VAT (£122.50)=£722.50. I have been watching your videos for over a year and hoping you edit your post and update it as soon as you can. Your video is only 9 months old and there are similar bypass systems sold on alibaba for about £150+ £100 P&P plus customs excluding labour obviously. I think the total is still under £300 and it is not a rocket since to remove the "U" joints and do the job yourself. Many thanks

Didn't realise you was a hairdressers.

Fake exhaust notes are up there with fake exhaust tips! Pointless!

Buy a real Porsche you won’t need valves ;)
