Descrição
Does adding an aftermarket exhaust to a Porsche Boxster or Cayman actually increase horsepower and torque? In this video, we put the ECG Performance Valved Exhaust to the test on a 2009 Porsche Boxster Base (987.2) to find out — with real dyno results to back it up.
📊 Dyno Results:
- Stock (X-Pipe Installed): 227.6 WHP / 194.6 lb-ft
- ECG Performance Valved Exhaust: 230.2 WHP / 201.7 lb-ft
- Peak Gains: +2.6 WHP / +7.2 lb-ft
- Max Gains (at ~4000 RPM): +8.8 WHP / +11.8 lb-ft
Note: Assuming Fabspeed’s X-Pipe claims are true, total gains could reach +16 WHP and +18 lb-ft vs. stock.)
🎧 Sound Check:
You’ll also hear how the new ECG Performance valved exhaust completely transforms the 987’s character — aggressive and exotic with valves open, yet quiet and refined with valves closed.
