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. |
Tease alert
Jake, you ought to be limited to one tease per week per forum.
Otherwise it is just downright cruel to tantalize us with the "I know something you don't know". Lets get those dyno reports online and let everyone judge for themselves. BTW, where is the podcast you promised last week? |
Quote:
LOL...Exactly, show us your objective data, studies, references, test results etc...etc.., and let the public decide based on a well-informed background. :D :cheers: , To all the hard work |

I had a 100+ hour this week finishing up the revised version of our 2.9 engine based from the 2.5... I had lots of issues that I wasn't expecting but success occurred today on the dynojet.
The podcast series is still awaiting clearance from Itunes, as soon as its cleared I'll make a post. They have had the file for 10 days already. As far as the teasers.. OK, I'll not offer any more of them.. It really isn't fair. To be honest there are too many negatives to posting the information we have collected. I lived through a decade of arguments when posting data concerning our aircooled engines and I have no desire to endure that again. Anytime that information (especially negative) is posted it opens us up to challenges from several groups... I promise to stop the teasers. |
