Hello All,
My new to me '
06 Cayman S
has an aftermarket
exhaust
system, and it's getting to be too loud for my taste. It has
Fabspeed headers
, and then Circuit Werks pipes and mufflers from there back. I would like to make it a little quieter, with either part of a stock system, or a whole stock system.
The question I have is does anyone know if I can attach the stock S mufflers and tailpipe onto the
Fabspeed headers
? Or, do I need to replace the
headers
too, to go with the stock S mufflers?
Secondly, is the muffler system for the base model the same as on the S model? I have a friend with a base who has replaced his entire muffler system. He will give me his mufflers/tailpipe and says the mufflers for the base and S are the same, and only the tailpipes are different style (one outlet vs. two). I'm assuming the
headers
are different.
So any suggestions would be appreciated as to what combo of stock parts could I splice together.
Thanks much,
Steve
Some one with a 987 will chime in. I have a
981
but I believe the base 987 muffler will fit. My reasoning is that the circuit werks muffler was design too work with stock manifold and works with
fabspeed headers
. But get under there and look to confirm. Maybe get one of your friends mufflers and compare.
You shouldn’t have any issues putting the stock system on the gasped
headers
. As far as I’m aware, the S and base model have the same system from the cat back, the
headers
may be different.
I suggest you download the PET (
Porsche
® Ersatz Teile /
Porsche
® Spare Parts) catalog for the
987.1
Cayman
here
. Besides having full parts diagrams for (pretty much) the whole car, it gives variant part numbers between the models. It there is no variant part number listed between base/S/R etc, the part is the same.
The exhaust system is on page 90. The last two characters of the part number often indicate a revision number. This might indicate a design change but often it means the part was sourced from different supplier.
Thank you, RSchwerer,
That should be very helpful to me in my search.

Good information. That system is a little cryptic, but if I understand it, it appears like both the manifolds and muffler systems are the same for both the Base and S model. Looks like the Base model is 9720, and the S is 9721.
Thank you again,
Steve
Good to know, I plan to do some
exhaust
work and I am glad that I won’t need to differentiate between the two.
I would put the stock
exhaust
on the
Fabspeed headers
and for get a about it.
Sounds like a good idea. I found a stock muffler system alreadybut the rear bracket assy is gone.
So I’ll have to start searching for one of those.
Thanks,
