Last week we just installed a Soul non-valved exhaust on my 2016 Cayman. . My car was bought new by me in So Cal and doesn't have many miles and no rust so everything came off no problem. Watching you deal with those rusty bolts and nuts sure did not look like fun, but good on you for getting through that part. I like the fit and finish on the Soul exhaust as mine went on in no time with the car up on a lift. The pops, bangs and burbles from both on and off the throttle being the best part of the whole thing to me. I also like the slightly smaller size and a little less weight. After the install I wiped everything down with WD 40 and will have to check my pipes to see what they look like now after the first run in. I ordered my car in Jan 2016 after I read that Porsche were going to a 4 cylinder turbo in the new 17 models and was always glad I did but the one big option I did not get on my minimalist build was the Sport Exhaust .I even bought a slightly used OEM Sport exhaust years ago but was never motivated to put it on. I like what you have done so far with your Cayman, you are helping show what great cars the 981 models are and how to make them even better.

A piece of advice to anyone doing this job, drench all the nuts and bolts in plus gas, leave overnight, use some heat on the nuts, then use a damaged nut extraction socket, they are very cheap to buy, this is the life saver, grips what’s left of the nut and digs into it, with the heat on it to expand it and the threads cleaned up as best possible, they should come off, I just did it and all were i off in 1.5 hours and was pretty easy tbh!

Don’t really help as your driveshafts are in the way for complete removal, with the headers still attached it would be quite heavy and awkward to manoeuvre about, they don’t split easily at the rear boxes, even on the ground they are hard to split

@@TommyLGarage I heard that's a problem with after market exhausts. With PSE, it's not an issue. Mine doesn't drone and it's totally quiet when cruising on the highway. As quiet as stock in my ears. But once you open the valve and put it on sports/sports plus, it becomes a totally new car. I'd still say high flow cat headers is a must for sound and power upgrade. I had mine installed today and tuned to stage 2.
