Crazy valved exhaust for my Porsche Boxster S!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 тра 2022
- I've always wondered what my Porsche Boxster S would sound like if it was less muffled, and today the guys at Larose Porsche in Kent are showing me the answer to just that. Today we're fitting the new Spyder performance bypass valves system.
Here’s the exhaust: www.spyderperformance.co.uk/s...

Gotta say...that sounds epic! What a great value mod with the flex to go standard when you need to.
Can’t help yourself with the exhaust mods can you haha! Excellent, sounds amazing!
That sounds ferocious, what a great upgrade.
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
Great video , excellent work 👏
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 👍
Sounded amazing under that bridge
What a fab bunch they were and great lending you wheels
That sounds as good as my new Design tek deep sound back box that I've just had fitted to my boxster S.
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
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 👍
I like the ‘can you explain it for the viewers please?’. Genius
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!!
Where did you get that done did have the I guess remote control vacuum I’m in California I’m just curious I’d like to put that on my Boxster
Car sounds amazing Joel! 🤯😂 I so want to straight pipe my car now!
I would not call that "straight piped" as it still has the secondary, and I'm assuming the main cats as well...
Imo of course!
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 Sir, are a big kid 😂
Sounds fantastic!
Great mod👍👍👍👍👍👍
god am going to miss engine sounds when the world goes electric. it gave that car some life. absolutely love it
It won’t
Sounds good 🚗🚙🚘👍👍👍👍
If you are heading to the ring keep an eye out for me! I'm heading over tonight in my 986 black Boxster
you can call me weird and boring, but i love the 928 in the background
Weird and boring, my thoughts also 👍🏽
@@kenmcintosh3705 I have a Focus ST170. Pretty similar to the 928.? Maybe a little quicker. And anything but boring am I right!
We have 2 x 928s and a Boxster

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 👍
That must have been very strange for you 😂
@@itsjoel very very strange 😂🤣
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 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video. Any drone Joel?
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.
How will the inspection react to this, will it go through with this setup?
Joel what’s the alternative and similar functionality exhaust set for the boxster 2.5L…? And available here in California?
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 😏
Will you put a link up to order this Joel?
Joel's probably going to the Nürburgring again!
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?
love ittt
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 😄
Is it back to the Isle of Wight again?
wicked price, wish they made one for the 987 that was more affordable than £1kl
Sounds awesome, dod Joel influence La Rose Porsche to have their own channel??
Nurburg track by any chance Joel?
When it comes to sell the porchse, I'd love to buy it
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!
Hey Joel, I've got a valved exhaust. When the valves open it actually makes my ears hurt. Bit boomy at mway speeds though...
Much better!!! ;)
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.
It's criminal that they just don't come from the factory like this. If they had they would get the respect they deserve.
will this be available in USA?
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.
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.
What does the remote look like?
same as haywad and scott bypass?
Hey buddy where can I get that for my 2000 Boxster and how much is it I’m in California?
i would like to know what car/porsche dean has.
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....
Generally getting real hot and then getting wet. Driving hard during the rain, More typically through deep water in my experience
The burden of a older car, it needs a lot of love and parts!
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?
Did you have the Carnewal exhaust mod done or another brand? Just fitted a Spyder catback exhaust to my 987.1 and it is insanely loud if you go anywhere near the throttle, looking at other options at the moment but may wait until I've done some miles and see if it settles down
@@timprice5 I bought mine with the mod already done. I think it's was fabricated by Oettle in Germany. As you say, they are insanely loud.
Hi Joel
Hi Joel,
Is this bypass prone to droning ? (Drone effect that reportedly happens around 2500rpm ). ?
Cheers from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
doesn't really happen in my experience
more for fun
cheers from San Francisco
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.
100% agree.
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. 😊
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
👀👀 Nürburgring👀👀
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?
Would be nice if he bothered to reply eh?
So here's the answer having now gone through an MOT
The valves make it harder for them to test the exhaust emissions, something to do with extra air (?) and 4 "exits" instead of two (even if the valves are closed). This technically means it should fail an MOT.. a good garage will however be able to deal with it.
That being said, I love the modification and installed it myself. Valves off the car sounds better and with them open it sounds like a monster.
😂
ah, the pilgrimage to the nurburgring, a true driver's journey
Where you order this parts ?

Interesting .... I have a 2003 S and will certainly be interested in the Exhaust bypass .... groovy
What happened to the trading up project 🤔
Probably the prices of cars Atm. Can't even get a Volkswagen up without selling your organs
He is getting married it’s all gone to rats, he is even selling his newer range ! To free up cash
Ah OK, cheers 👍🏽
@@TheJbsportstech he’s selling his new range because he doesn’t love it and wants a range he does love
Can you get a similar thing for a Z4?
Yes i have done it on z4 3.0
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
Surely thats the whole point of the remote valve, so you can close it to lower the noise levels when needed?
@@spyder_man I don’t think it will stand up to dvsa check as it bypasses the silencer it falls foul of construction use, the other issue is has he told his insurance as it can be deemed a performance modification
@@TheJbsportstech Ring is @130db , i dont think thats even close to that as it only eliminates rear box and leaves all Cats in place.
🎠💥💥
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 😞
Did you take this back off mate?
I’m considering buying one myself, and I don’t mind being a little Anti-social. Interested if you need to sell it on… Just an offer.
Either way, I hope you get your car back to how you like it! 👌
@@that_biker_boy5550 I have kept the exhaust on for the moment. Its actually OK in 'closed' mode so I tend to drive it in that unless I want to be a little B road hooligan. It is starting to settle now it's done a few miles
@@timprice5 - Glad to hear it’s mellowed out a little now it’s settled in.
I mean the fact you can have both personalities from the car at the push of a button is ideal and a total Win/Win situation in my eyes!
Glad you’re enjoying it again :)
Thanks for the reply! 👍
@@that_biker_boy5550 no worries. Let us know how you get on once you've ordered yours 😊
CLEAN THOSE WHEELS!
The valved exhaust is not on the website 😒
It’s not out yet, mine is a demo model - it’s going to be available in a few weeks.
@@itsjoel do you know something about what the price will be?
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?
Yes, totally. I personally buy a car for me, not for anyone else. If somebody calls or thinks you’re a hairdresser, who cares? Truth be told, there’s lots of 911 owners I know who also own Boxster’s, they’re totally different driving cars.
I had a Boxster. It can be seen as a poor man’s Porsche but every time I walked up to it I thought ‘That’s MY Porsche’. Don’t get me wrong, I love the BMW M240i I replaced it with but I don’t quite get the same smile when I see it…
Would you rather go to your grave having owned a “poor man’s Porsche” or no Porsche at all? Exactly. Screw what other people think.
Mine is in Speed yellow, so not only do I get stick for being a poor man's Porsche, hair dressers car etc, my work colleagues also give me stick for the colour. However they all want to have a go driving it, not that I let any of them and when I take them out in it they can't believe how quick it is. Just don't expect the world in straight line performance but show it some corners with a good chassis setup by someone in the know and I guarantee it will put a smile on your face, it always does for me. If you want to truly use the full potential of the car you will have to put it on a track, I said when I bought mine 5 years ago I wouldn't track it but after 3 years I found I wasn't using anywhere near its potential on the public roads.
I've been thinking abour buying one for years and last Friday I did, a 2001 3.2. I thought I had an idea what they've be like to drive but never thought it would be as great as it is.
My brother bouht a 996 C4S fairly recently and the Boxster gives you a lot of the same enjoyment but at a fraction of the price.
Drive one, buy one. I'm not sure what you've driven previously but there's a huge chance you wont be disappointed.
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! 😚
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.
Not for me. I think it would get tiring on a long journey.
Then just close the valves at the click of a button to go back to stock?
sounds like a porsche
A VW bug with a baja exhaust
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
Fake exhaust notes are up there with fake exhaust tips! Pointless!
Does that mean all performance cars have fake exhaust notes then? They are all tuned to give a certain sound depending on vehicle type.
@@jonedgar5996 in my opinion it's a fad. The new trend. But certainly manufacturers can tinker with the ecu and system to make the exhaust sound like this.
Didn't realise you was a hairdressers.
Buy a real Porsche you won’t need valves ;)
