  1. 981 Cayman/Boxster Problems & Complaints 2013-2016
    Just wanted to get some opinions. I’m hearing a sound like a “tooong” metal spring inside a drum sound occasionally when hitting certain bumps in the road. It’s not isolated to either side, front, or rear. I have no suspension rattles. No degradation in steering, and no abnormal tire wear...
  2. 987 Cayman/Boxster Modifications 2005-2012
    Hi, I have looked around but couldn't find any specific articles about this. Has anyone ever cut open the chambers on a 987.2 PSE Exhaust? I am trying to find out if there is any potential to remove baffling/ weld in closed piping on the "Open Valve" route through the boxes as it seems a bit...
  3. 987 Cayman/Boxster Modifications 2005-2012
    Hi there! For a few years now, I drive a 987.2. Love the car! But I hope one of you can help me out, I'm currently changing a few things, bigger wheels (997 4S 19") and a KW suspension kit V3 (ordered today :cool: ). Making it like I always wanted it to be! Now there's one more thing I would...
  4. 718 Cayman/Boxster Porsche (982) Chat 2017-Now
    Hi, I received a lucky and grateful call from my local Porsche dealership last Wednesday. They received one build slot for the new 718 GT4, which they kindly offered to me. I gave them a draft spec and deposit that afternoon to confirm the order. The car should arrive in September, so I will...

  6. 718 Cayman/Boxster Porsche (982) Chat 2017-Now
    My 2018 CS manual transmission makes a ping sound when depressing the clutch. There is no sound when the clutch is released. The sound appears to come from below the pedal like a spring is rubbing. The sound is louder when the ambient temperature is colder. I took it to the dealer and they said...
  7. 718 Cayman/Boxster Porsche (982) Chat 2017-Now
    Hi, My 718 is at 4000 miles and I've noticed this before, but it seems more prevalent now. Perhaps because temperatures are dropping. When I depress the clutch (to start the engine) I can hear a spring 'twang' type noise from the pedal area. It could simply be the return spring on the pedal...
  8. 718 Cayman/Boxster Porsche (982) Chat 2017-Now
    I know this subject has been beaten to death, but: Yesterday I attended a PCA event at Summit Point. I have a 2018 Boxster GTS. After the first 25 minute run, 4 people who were observing from trackside came over to me wanting to know what I did to the exhaust, because it sounded so awesome...
  9. 718 Cayman/Boxster Porsche (982) Chat 2017-Now
    I searched for "exhaust" in this section and didn't see anyone really discussing, unless I missed it. Anyone taken the plunge yet? I guess some people have as I've seen videos, but can't tell how many of those are just sales pitches. Would be curious people's actual, unaffiliated impressions...

    My personal Likes and dislikes of the 718 Like: -Grip and handling are fantastic. -In gear acceleration -The styling, I do love how these things look. -I actually like the engine starting sound when you hit the Sport button before starting the engine. -All the options you can pick and...

    Phil from Fabspeed here. Do you like the exhaust sound from your 718. We have received a lot of reviews from the 718. Most of them are about the outstanding performance and styling. The one issue that we have heard is about the sound. Porsche did a great job turning the 4 cylinder into...
  12. 987 Cayman/Boxster Chat 2005-2012
    I have a 2007 Cayman S with about 46,000 miles on it. This evening it developed a very strange knocking sound. I jacked the car up and it appears to be coming from the transmission area. It goes away when I depress the clutch. If I put it in gear and let the rear tires spin while they are...
  13. 981 Cayman/Boxster Electronics 2013-2016
    So I went on a short drive today, and when I got back in my car about an hour later I had no sound from my speakers. Nothing worked. No FM, aux, CD, bluetooth phone connection. Nothing. No amount of tinkering could bring any sound from the stereo speakers. The stereo functions all seem to...
  14. 981 Cayman/Boxster Electronics 2013-2016
    Hi all, I’m a new owner of a 981 Boxster base with the base sound system. The car is great, but the sound system is terrible. Done a lot of research on this forum, and I’d like to replace/add speakers, an amp, and maybe a powered sub. Here are the questions I’ve not been able to find: - what...
  15. 981 Cayman/Boxster Problems & Complaints 2013-2016
    UPDATE: longer video posted: https://youtu.be/4Nj-9XjuCVk Does this sound normal? Happens mostly when warm, but can hear slightly when cold as well. https://youtu.be/N3owOjFp72w
  16. 987 Cayman/Boxster Problems & Complaints 2005-2012
    Guys, gals, I'm going crazy here trying to debug this issue. I have a sound that is exactly the sound you'd expect if you put 2 washers or quarters into a Dixie cup and shook it back and forth. The running joke in my family is that there is a guy hiding in the trunk shaking a cup at me for...
  17. 987 Cayman/Boxster Problems & Complaints 2005-2012
    Hello, Back in January I purchased my 2008 Cayman - I've been driving it daily since. Any time my SO and I want to go anywhere, I always offer to drive, which works out nicely because she doesn't like to drive. It's been a great experience - both livening up my drive to work and enjoying the...
  18. 981 Cayman/Boxster Porsche Chat 2013-2016
    Hi, I haven't posted in the 981 section in some time, as I recently picked up my 718 Cayman GTS, however I hope I am still allowed to post in here as I still have my 981 Cayman S :-) and dare I say it, I probably prefer the 981, even though the 718 Cayman GTS is a better car. I don't want to...
  19. 981 Cayman/Boxster Porsche Chat 2013-2016
    I went on a day trip over the weekend in my new-to-me '13 base boxster. Usually everything sounds normal and fine to me in almost all circumstances, but this is my first Porsche ever... I have a video clip of when I thought the engine sounded... well... to me? not the sound I thought I want to...
