When you think incredible exhaust sounds, you usually think of a Ferrari V8 or V12. You must definitely would think of a Lamborghini Huracan V10 or Murcielago V12. But would you have thought of a Porsche Boxster with a 2.7L 6cylinder flat-6 engine? Well that is what this has with some upgraded parts from us here at Vivid Racing. This Porsche Boxster if from the 981 generation which was produced from 2012 to 2016 as a 2.7L and 3.4L except the GT4 which was a 3.8L. This was the final year the Cayman and Boxster would be a Normally Aspirated engine as in 2017 the car chassis was changed to the 718 and became turbocharged. As an NA motor, the sounds produced from the flat-6 engine had an incredible tone, but was harder to gain performance compared to the turbo models. To further enhance the usual docile sound of a Cayman/Boxster to meet the needs of the general population, this Porsche was upgraded with a complete straight pipe exhaust system and a VR Tuned ECU Flash.

Exhaust systems for the Porsche Boxster 981 are designed to increase torque and help it breath to keep pulling to redline. To achieve this, you must do a header and muffler setup. Most 981 exhaust systems feature new over axle pipes which eliminate the 2nd catalytic converter. The primary catalytic converter is on the headers and when you do this as a full race setup, the sound and performance comes alive! There are many popular brands when it comes to doing an exhaust on the Porsche 981 Boxster or Cayman. This includes systems from companies like Armytrix, Soul Performance, Capristo, AWE, and others as seen here – https://www.vividracing.com/index.php?keywords=Porsche+981+exhaust. Because most of these exhausts are modular to work with the stock headers, you can mix and match brands between the exhaust and headers depending on price. If you need to maintain your factory emissions, then we recommend getting a set of headers with high flow cats. These will still help improve performance and sound, but not be as loud as a straight piped exhaust.

Improving the cars horsepower and torque as well as throttle response is easily done with our VR Tuned ECU Flash. ECU Tuning is a simple process that requires reading out the cars original file via the OBDII port, making changes to map data that alters things such as fuel, timing, and throttle maps, then flashing this back to the vehicle. VR Tuned handles all of this for you via an easy to use and convenient tool so you can do this via the comfort of your own garage. With our 10+ years in Porsche tuning, we have proven maps that take into account your car stock or modded with common upgrades such as exhaust, intake, throttlebody, or headers. VR Tuned can do other options for customers on their Porsche ECU such as Pops & Bangs as shown on the video. This option gives you the “crackle” sound on deceleration and with the straight pipe exhaust will shoot flames as well. With the device we provide, this includes your original file so you can flash back to stock at anytime if needed. An ECU Tune for the Porsche 981 Boxster/Cayman is one of the best mods you can do to really liven up the driving the experience!
