Product Details
The Porsche 981 Cayman Performance Exhaust project can be touted as one of the most comprehensive and intensive research and development initiatives in AWE Tuning’s exhaust collection. Hundreds of hours of research and development, multiple revisions and countless real world and dyno tests have output a system that is equal parts aggressive and sophisticated at any RPM. In other words, the only exhaust set up worthy of the AWE Tuning badge.
Aggressive and civil, all in one perfect exhaust
AWE tuning studied the market. Existing 981 Cayman systems revealed untenable tones at certain points in the power band. This set the stage for their engineering group to craft a bespoke system that would be both aggressive at full throttle yet civil enough for daily cruising.
The prototyping process was a long road: AWE Tuning sound engineers carefully studied the tones of our prototype 981 Cayman exhaust iterations at various RPMs, ultimately engineering a 981 Cayman solution that combats frequencies that are not appropriate for a car of this caliber – retaining and building upon only the perfect notes.
Purged performance
The key to an AWE Tuning exhaust’s performance is extracting every ounce of available flow from the system without compromising daily driving characteristics or the settings mandated by the factory computer. The commitment to maximum flow is why our master fabricators hand-finish every TIG weld, and why the Porsche 981 Cayman Performance Exhaust is also gas purge welded to remove any imperfections that may impede maximum flow.
Tip options
The AWE Tuning 981 Cayman Performance Exhaust comes with two tip options: 102mm Chrome Silver double walled tips, and 102mm Diamond Black double walled tips. All tips are stamped with the AWE Tuning logo, so they’ll know what team you’re on.
