13.8!! 😱 that's like a jeep on 37s!

One of the better things, to me, about driving a manual, is the lack of drone with aftermarket exhaust. While i have NO EXPERIENCE with a 981 or any porsche, i am picking my 14 981 boxster up in Ohio Sunday, and driving back to fort Meyers. 😁😁 i do however have experience with an 09 challenger rt without resonators and borla s-types. The v8s give a deeper rumble, where the higher revving 6 cylinder is more raspy, to me, hits that pitch that seems too loud??? Ear piercing? Maybe? Like sounds great on a race car, but the tuners and such...to me, as an older 52 guy with hearing damage, hurts my ears. I agree, the fabspeed sounds great, but theres a loss of a "middle" ground. Borla for the 981 seems "too much" and soul sounds right, but like to keep my money here in the USA...well...as mych as i can. So, I'll just be gappy to finally drive a porsche, and when i want more speed, I'll drive my wifes jaguar f-type r 380 supercharged. Its not pdk, but I'm a manual guy anyway. Both are convertible, and even tho my boxster hasn't even made it into its spot in the garage, you can believe....if the right 911 pops up....hers and mine, are GONE!!!! 😂😂😂 great videos!! Im sure you're a busy guy, but....get that editing done! 😉👍🏼👍🏼

I think you nailed this point. Radar detector is just that “Radar”. If you live in a city or town that actively sits and runs radar, sure it’s good, however, most cops drive and observe driving. They will have to tail you to get an accurate speed but the ticket will usually say something like observed speed. Yes this can be fought but then it’s $$. Therefore, it all comes down to this.. just slow down. Ive got a hybrid sports car and I like to get on it for 7 seconds but I’m not a fool and even then my head is on a swivel and I’m using Waze. I do love the V1 and believe it’s the best detector for years and years but I think it’s still a false sense of security for the guy that thinks he can smash the petal anytime, anywhere. Honestly, how many times have guys cranked through all gears up to 155+ for 10 min except in a chase 😆 😆

How often do you need to do the roof waterproofing?

Highly useful video. thanks!!!

Great job, I really appreciate your attention to detail and great drive byes. Love the 981 Boxster, its on my short list for sure!

Awesome car and great overview. I have a model 3 for 5.5 years and always liked how these cars looked and wanted to get some more info on how they are over time, very helpful!

I'll see this video is old but I have a 2013 boxer. SI have really transformed it and it's amazing. I also added a super cup track exhaust. It sounds crazy but the handling the cornering. And I added a chip to make it faster. It's unbelievable. This is my third Porsche, so I have 3 in the garage. And they are amazing cars and I ordered them all offline. No problems or issues.

Great review! I’m having my eyes on a 2018 Macan s with 10k miles only. How is the reliability story? How much should I expect to pay for maintenance yearly? Thank you!

I am interested to see what I think versus the Porsche sports exhaust. I love the sound and ability to change from one to the other. I do like knowing you can add it in later. Interesting to know its not the same button selector as normal but not a deal breaker. I'm almost thinking I am okay without needing that option right off the bat, which helps with the pool of cars to choose from. Always leaves something to add and enhance it after having enjoyed it stock for a while.

This is very depressing to watch as a 12 year driver of a Ford Fiesta, who has driven the Macan T from Turo, (for a weekend). I'm realizing after this video I need a Boxster S and a Macan S and a house with a garage, and furniture, and the money for vacations. I've got to figure out a way to make more money, now. Thanks. Thanks a lot. I'll try to figure out a way to get through the rest of my day.

Only an engineer/detective would be able to analyze and articulate his experience such profoundly, let alone finding the who hit the car, from sizing a dent!

I drive a Turbo…my question is: what is a GR Corolla?

Sounds like you wanted the sound of a header with PSE. Closed valves you get the exact same sound up to 4000rpm and a nice increase in sound above 4k. Open valves you get a big difference all the time probably similar to your open setup.

Creative AF. Well done sir

Good stuff

Very nice review. Down to earth and easy to listen to. At 23 minutes I had no plans on watching it all but you kept my attention and I felt like I could relate to your comments. I appreciate your straight forward approach. I purchased a CPO 2020 S a month ago. It has been enjoyable thus far.

Doug, did you notice any increased HP with this mod.

Nice review !!👍

I have a 2010 Base 987.2 with full SOUL two way exhaust, Softronics ECU map and Numerics shifter/cables. Purchased in 2013 CPO with 27K miles and today have 135K miles. New shocks, clutch, several sets of tires, one transcontinental and one 1/2 continental trip and several smaller mods/updates but basically stock later. Love the car, most basic maintenance items are DIY or independent repair shop. Best car I’ve ever owned…fun, fun, fun and did I mention lots of fun.

Great review and format! Very clear and relatable, useful information. Exactly what I'm looking for as an incoming 981 Boxster S owner.

Great police Dept💯

That exhaust sounds incredible, regardless of how loud it is

This is absolutely excellent video, very well layed out, and very informative.

I love it. "I could get Covid and die." Best rationalization for buying a Porsche ever.

Any change of the headers? Try a 992 GT3 for noise levels - 😊

This was a wonderful video. You look and act like a sophisticated adult who admits that he is not a professional racer -- just a real guy who wants to learn how to fully enjoy this great car! You also taught me several things I did not know, including annual waterproofing of the roof and the benefits of the 981 engine. Well-done!

What did you install for back up camera? Would like to see a video on that. Thanks.

Think of it this way: below 45°F, the rubber compound increasingly becomes the consistency of hard plastic. That’s the visualization I heard described in a forum. Admittedly, a bit hyperbolic, but it’s a memorable description of the decreased performance characteristics. You hit the nail on the head when mentioning the real problem is when you try to stop and turn at the same time. What led me to this video today is, it’s the middle of winter, and I have the itch to go out for a drive to cheer myself up on a gloomy, gray day. But looks like I’ll have to wait until it warms back up.

You can leave it in D and just use the paddle to down shift as you see fit.

As picky as you are, buy a new one 😂

Super lucky to have 981 GTS Boxster stock PSE the best sounding Porsche End of. 😮

Great rundown. I have the exact same shoe and love them! I haven’t had any rubbing or pain, but my longest drive has only been a few hours. I wear Gold Toe dress socks with mine.

Who does your maintenance? Oil changes. I live around Creve Coure Lake.

Awesome video. Thorough to say the least and so informative. TY

Nice video, you confirmed my suspicions that it was too loud even in quiet mode. If you just do short trips and backroad blasting its fine but doing any distance run with such a drone would be bothersome. My preference would be stock volume in quiet mode and obnoxious in loud. Also It doesnt look like they fitted it properly the tail pipes stick out too far and they are not centered properly.

I know this isn't related to the actual video but bruh 💀 AutoFocus is a series Marques Brownlee makes about cars and obviously Cars & Bids is Doug DeMuro's little baby haha

How is your logic so amazing? Can decipher which brand and car type rear ended your parked car from the dent. Amazing 10/10.

The drone with the aftermarket exhaust will be even more prominent with PDK, as the transmission will the chase the higher gear where the drone is the worst (7th). I drove a Cayman 981S with an aftermarket exhaust and experienced the same problem with drone in lower RPMs. I had to drop a gear, to 6th, to avoid the drone. Then I drove a 981 with the Porsche Sport Exhaust (PSE). The PSE has just the right balance--it is the only exhaust with absolutely no drone in any RPM. Porsche really got it right from the factory.

This video is more about a Porsche boxter than it is valentine 1.

My compliments, amazing analysis to find the Chevy Truck Driver!

This is pure gold! A lot of questions that I had, and searched all across the internet, are answered here, with a great amount of information. Really high quality content. Love it. Keep going! Hope you’re enjoying the car!

Love this video, you are a very natural presenter - nice one

I was at Silverstone with mine and a Porsche driver , drove it ..I was like the owner of Ford in Le Mans .The car is unbelievable ,, unbelievable !!!!

Can you add your remote to your garage pad

I hate it when my ppf comes off in the 5th dimension.

In a RUclips world saturated with content parroting and over the top biased opinions.. your videos are refreshing. Not to mentioned it gets old watching channel after channel cover the new 995.2 GT3RST Club Sport Limited that no real person will ever own 😂 Love the mod. Reviewers swear that the soul performance valved exhaust has “no drone.” Was that setup considered in your search?

I was a "Sub-Contracted Inspector" for Lemond Squad; I worked for Ferrari 7 years, Porsche/AUDI 9 (3 at the factory in Germany) and was offered a position as "Midwest Service Representative for Alfa Romero" for another 9 years. I moved to Miami, have my own shop and do PPI's and Warranty inspections for a number of firms. I had to drop LS because being a lover of "All things Porsche" I would regularly take about 150 pictures/inspection and if the vehicle I inspected had a history of an OEM flaw I would always enter it in my "Summery Report." Lemond Squad (to use a word getting popular these days) would redact my summery report by over 1/3?! I would check if on a Porsche between the late 1997 to 2005 ask the seller "If the IMS bearing was replaced and a copy of the Repair Order?" The people at LS thought this a "bit too much" information" for what I considered important to the buyer. I wasn't "fishing for additional work" I'm quite busy. I have had buyers ask me to "preform a fluid's test" I'd send an oil sample to "Blackstone Labs" and either I'd do the conversion or refer them to a shop to replace it so the next owner wouldn't have this well known engine failure occur! LS is a good idea but like Carfax doesn't tell "The Whole Story" if it's necessary. I always run the VIN on 4 different databases (on every car I did). If I found that the car was sold to the seller on a "Rebuilt Title" I'd include pictures taken at the auctions around the country and label them "Before #1/2/3." The Inspectors aren't employee's of LS rather LS is like a construction company that sub-contracts (w/o any clear contract) to preform inspections.

This is the greatest video that should be. Clear logic, straight opinion.

I would go Porsche exhaust
