Paul Cooper Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I've recently purchased a Cayman R which I believe must have the standard exhaust as it does not have the "Exhaust" button in the centre console. Anyone got any hints/tips etc on the best way to improve the exhaust note of the standard R exhaust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavrik Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 The Carnewal GT exhaust is regarded as the way to go? You drive over to Belgium & he fits a modified CR exhaust to your car while you wait but I gather he also does a mail order option... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blissya Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I’d assumed all R’s had PSE, learn something new everyday. I went over to Carnewal for my base Cayman. Definitely better but not obtrusive. Gert is a nice bloke and it’s a great excuse to have a couple of nights in Bruges! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Cooper Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 Hi Maverick and Blissya, thanks for the common recommendation. Blissya, having done this yourself could you give me an indication of cost? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. http://www.carnewal.com/products/987/p87026/987-2-Carnewal-GT-exhaust-made-from-new-Cayman-R-mufflers €3K plus travel and hotel, its a €4K+ upgrade I'd say. For about the same you could get it done at AutoFarm who can fit the official one including the dash button - it is the R version that they collate the parts for and piece it together from, not the S version fitted to an R. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Or you can change the manifolds... Drastically improves the exhaust note and gives some extra ponies. It's also much cheaper than the options listed thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I struggle to understand these recommendations.....£4K for a catback??? LOL it's not even a new improved design or anything, it's just your stock one opened, modified and rewelded! Just get the TopGear one it's £900 and sounds epic. If you need the remote control for your valves I have a free set you can have. Gen2 cars have all 4 cats in the manifolds (gen1 cars have 2 in the manifolds and 2 in the catback). Anyone who's gone catless on the gen2 know that the car sounds like a mini GT3! It's just unreal.....but the price to pay is you need a remap to turn off the CEL and the sound might be a bit too much for some people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I toyed with the Office PSE retrofit to my R but the one that came with it, a Milltek Cat Back Non Res https://www.design911.co.uk/fu/prod144522/Milltek-Sports-Exhaust-Muffler---Cat-Back-Non-resonated--louder--Porsche-987-Gen2-Boxster-S---Cayman-S-2009-2013/ ...makes me wonder would the PSE sound £4K better? I doubt it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mine is just the 2.9 it was about £450 fitted I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtaite01 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I think the previously Carnewal link is for a brand new Cayman R muffler which is then modified. To modify your existing one it's more like €500: http://www.carnewal.com/products/987/p87031/987-2-CaymanR-Carnewal-GT-Exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it. Exactly Julian, it's a steep price for not much. Anyway if anyone needs a remote control for the exhaust please hit me as I have I don't need. It's free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossKH Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I did a mail order process with Gert @ carnewall. massively cheaper than discussed on this thread + loving the noise improvement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsstar3 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Carnewal 🤣🤣🤣 why... Just why! I've got a stainless system if you wanna try it £150? Sounds fantastic. I've only removed as going turbo. I think if you look bac thru my posts you'll see when I installed it not even a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
