Every video on TH-cam of someone driving a 987, upon sending it in first gear, you can see the little smile across their face that they just can't help. It made me buy one
Sounds great! Congrats. May I also suggest you upgrade your steering wheel. I just upgraded my triangle wheel from my 997 to the sport wheel. Not only does it really modernize the interior it just feels so much better than the stock. Well worth it.
Finally get to see a mod video of the cayman. Sounds so much better now and still oem sounding not chavy aftermarket youd spot easily with other exhausts on a hatchback. If i had a 987 id get the exhaust done along with getting the turbo alloys and front led spars
I have the same exhaust on my 3.7 rebuilt cayman s with top gear 200cell manifolds and it makes it even louder but couldn’t live with it day to day but as a weekend car it’s spot on
The valves are open because you don’t have the vacuum canister fitted. I fitted the vacuum canister to mine and it does keep a vacuum for a period of time. I also fitted an Armytrix OBD dongle and the exhaust switches automatically at 3000 rpm I actually found the Topgear system too loud and ended up putting the factory headers and cats back. I left the back boxes on.
I’ve got the same on mine but I had 200 cell top gear headers fitted as well all in that was £2350 fitted and once it been on there a while it sounds even better One thing I’d like to know perhaps you viewers can help would it make any difference if I had it re mapped
Well done getting the new exhaust sounds great 👌i have the spyder valved system on my 997 that also is open by default on start up which is annoying and wondered if it had been wired up wrong 🤔
Really pleased for you Joe, lovely sound, very envious i have to suffer the OPF on mine. One aesthetic thing i always think is worth it is to swap out the body coloured side vents for silver to match the wheels. It’s totally a personal thing but i think it would really lift the profile of your car
I have the Top Gear headers with 200 cell cats on my base cayman my exhaust is Porsche but still great condition but when it’s ready t.o change I will be getting one of these fitted happy Christmas 😎
I have a design tec sports exhaust on my 987 Boxster S from design 911, the old one had completely rusted back boxes so had to go. I find between 2000 and 300 revs it’s quite loud in the car, past that it’s fine. It also seems to have added some horsepower because the back cats are gone, still passes emissions by the way. It does make the car sound like a proper sports car. Yours sounds great by the way. 👍
I have the same on mine...tbh I find the noise between 2-3 revs annoying, I preferred the understated sound of the factory unit...unfortunately I couldnt afford the 4.5k replacement costs....guess Ill have to grin and bare it
@@rossbethell4187 qall i could find is a ton of valve tronics, 1 for $4000 from a spyder i/ll have to check rennlist. Reddit told me that if you ask suncaost they could get on within 6 months now days which seems reasonable to me.
Hi Joe really nice sounding exhaust there. Upgraded my cayman from the 987.1 to the 987.2 and was thinking of fitting a new top gear valved exhaust. do you get any drone noise from the top gear exhaust at all ? i still have my gen1 cayman which is exactly the same as yours and i will be selling it as soon as i fit new brake discs and pads and get a new MOT on her but i fiited a cheap ebay exhaust to it and ended up taking it off becuase of the droning noise coming from it, it was really annoying.
Hey Bro, nice car, I'm in Perth, currently have a tuned Audi A7 but considering getting the Cayman 981, considering getting the "S" or do you recommend get the standard and put and get the S exhaust system on it like you, which may work out cheaper? I actually wanted a 2015 RS7 because i wanted a v8 roar but it seems like these Caymans sound good? Hard to tell on just hearing from the vids, haven't driven one yet only just decided today that this might be my next car
I was toying with lots of cars, RS5 was a contender but after driving the cayman I knew it had to be the one. Even the standard 2.7 or 2.9 will still sound Incredible, you won’t be disappointed.

Haha yeah it’s intoxicating.
well done, you'll love every drive. very exciting. i got a valved SOUL from America for my 981. Amazing. Enjoy joe.
@@odinikita4821 thank you! Still loving the exhaust:)
Unbelievable Joe, these videos get me so excited to own my own Cayman in the coming years. Enjoy!
Sounds great! Congrats.

Wow! That is one heck of an exhaust. Very nice modification!
Thanks Joe, excellent vlog, exactly the exhaust Im looking for, sounds just great……Merry Christmas and Very Happy and Prosperous New Year

Great upgrade! Would love you hear a comparison to a Cayman with PSE.
Thanks for all the brilliant content in ‘23, merry Xmas! 🎄
Sounds so much better Joe, perfect choice
Great video again Joe!
Happy Christmas to you. What a lovely little present you got the porsche!
Sounds and looks ideal.
👍

Sounding just like a Porsche should. Great job 😁

So much better. And you’ll enjoy it so much more now. 👍
Sounds real nice! 👍
The Porsche flat 6 has an awesome sound

Really happy for you, Joe. Car sounds great 👌🏻👍🏻
Hi Joe, great video...may I ask how much it cost to fit please?
£250 from memory
olivers mount great filming location
Sounds good and you can turn up the volume on the music when you want it too.
Can you do a general engine update how many miles you done on it since the rebuild,any problems.
Sure! Love this idea
I’m getting a non valved version design tech do you know if that’s basically your system with the valve open?
As far as I know it’s the same. Not too loud, a little boomy at certain revs but not unbearable.
@ ok thanks for the feedback Joe! If I ever see you at cafe and machine I will come and say hi normally in the boxster!
@ you should! I’m often there! Probably not this year now but lots of planned trips next year
@@JoeTalksCars yeah weather is awful I live 3 miles from it so I go fairly often! I need to join Porsche club gb also still!
does it drone ?
VERY NICE :)
instant GT3👍

Sounds just like my old 2002 350Z with Fujitsubo Exhaust!
981 pse exhaust situation is terrible. back order for YEARS. after market cost thousands more than factory.
EBay is your friend as are the forums. EBay Germany seems to have more used stuff like PSEs.

Just got a 987 myself so I subbed, what is the name of exhaust would love to upgrade my car
Thank you! It’s a Top Gear Exhaust with the switchable valve.
Hows the drone?
I don’t have one 😅

Why do you have the automatic tho...
Something a little different.
Money well spent Joe
cool kaa man
sounds like an avg 987
Really? Mine was so quiet before.
Hi Joe. Don't want to sound like a boring old fart, but how did this exhaust fitment affect your insurance?🤔
Thankfully not at all. I’m old and live in a nice area. Turns out Porsches are cheap to insure.
Thumbnail is cringe🎉.
Thanks. Worked for clicks tho
