Kreissieg F1 VT Exhaust on 987?
Hi All,
Have anyone tried the Kreissieg F1 VT Exhaust on 987? How was the installation? Any advice? I just love the sound of this thing! Boxster 987 Kreissieg F1 VT Exhaust Thanks. |
Sounds wonderful. Have you seen what they're charging for it??
I doubt there's been too many takers at that price... |
Yes, noted the price. That's why I wanted to ask what to watch for if I am going to order and install it, given the price tag...
|
I'll be very envious of you if you buy one, an absolutely wonderful sound. I have been to their website many times watching / listening to the video clips, it's an easy way to lose an hour or more of your day. :cheers:
|
If that price included headers, it would be worth considering. Without.... I don't know.... that's SERIOUS money for a cat back exhaut.
|
$6500 is a LOT of money for an exhaust on any car, especially a boxster.
Get the Porsche Sport Exhaust and take the rest of the cash and bank it for inevitable future, out-of-warranty repairs. |

You're getting misinformation. The PSE is one of the best sounding exhausts for the Boxster. It's quiet at idle, but then as you rev the engine it opens up the by-pass valves to really give it some sound. It's a similar setup to the by-pass valves on a Ferrari (although a completely different sound) or the by-pass valves on this Kreissieg exhaust. Check out YouTube as there should be videos of the PSE on there. Kirk |
indeed. During normal driving, the PSE is quiet, when u step on it, it opens up. Its not always loud like a stebro race exhaust that rattles your entire interior with drone
|
I watched a few PSE video it's pretty pathetic, IMO...
anyway, I still like the kreissieg better...I will try to post some information about it when I get mine...keep posted. |

A forum member I know has a 987 3.4 with the PSE on it. Sounds great at idle, under hard acceleration, but when he's decelerating at speed on the track (coming off a 125 mph straightaway into a sharp turn) the PSE just hisses loudly.
... which infuriates him considering he paid $2200 extra for it. I tell you what though, if I shelled out $6 large for an exhaust system for a boxster, the dadgum thing should make my motor sing and have zero resonance. Period. And I would demand the manufacturer and reseller put that in writing and guarantee to pay for the de-installation and shipping back to the seller as well as a complete refund. I bet if you wait 12-18 months, that exhaust system will cost no more than $3k, which is what happens with everything it seems. |
finally ordered the Kreissieg exhaust for my boxster, now waiting for its delivery...will keep the group informed.
|
Don't forget to post pics and videos!
You make me feel a lot better to fork out the $ for PSE in spring time. :p |
Wow. I'm very interested to see how this turns out.
I have an AWE exhaust on my car and am considering going to a valved unit instead to get rid of the drone factor between 2500-3000 RPM that all of the non-valved aftermarket exhausts reveal. PSE is too tame and the only other option I knew of is the Capristo system. Now, the Capristo one is a full exhaust system including headers, and for the same price as this offering from Kreissieg, but the install is a bit untidy and I'm not sure if Capristo has fixed some of their fitment issues. While I can't see spending $6500 on a cat-back system only, I'd love to hear how it turned out for you. |
I know why this is so expensive... this is Japanese ********************!
I can see a lot of people spending $6k on exhaust for a ferrari/lambo but for a boxster I'm not so sure. http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/kreissieg-m-204.html |
See, I KNEW I should've bought a Ferrari--the Kreissieg exhaust for the F355 is only $3,798.99! :)
|
just a heads up to the group that my kreissieg has finally arrived, will try to get it installed within the next 10 days or so...
|
I have finally installed the Kreissieg exhaust, I have posted the pics and video in a new thread.
Kreissieg for Boxster |
I continue to gather very interesting data on the PSE on engine after engine, car after car...
The data I have is pretty damn amazing from both the dyno as well as my R&D logger thats portable between cars.. 0-60 times and 40-80 times are interesting to lay over each other with different exhausts, to say the least. |
