Easy to follow instructions delivered calmly. Took me about an hour on a 2009 Cayman S w/44k miles. Fortunately no stud issues. The top bolt on the drivers side is a pain. Installing Carnewal GT exhaust. Thank you for the great instructions!
Was about to do the same this week. How has that exhaust been? I live next to cantrell motorsports in WA so was gonna take off the exhaust and take it there to get it done.
Thanks the video fella, love the flat 6 sound, looking forward to hearing when you've done the headers. I put a Remus cat back on my 10 year old 987 boxster and it transformed the car.... yours will sound even better I'm sure. Cheers
Thank you for a straight up, calm, informative video!!... This old guy might try this myself, but the getting squashed by the exhaust part might just get me stuck under my Cayman S until someone sends out a search party for me!! I'm not too flexible these days... ;-) Cheers!!
Gonna slow play us and tease us as we await the sound of SOUL kicking out the back end of your vehicle?! Great vid, you've got me busting to find a way to get one of these suckers on my ride ASAP! Nice tutorial - love that you're rockin' the QuickJack too - was yours all the way up in the vid - seemed low?
Hi there, i love your videos, hoping to see the Soul Headers installation as well, any discounts on all exhaust system ? i am planning to get it the end of the month.
Trey Cordle that would be a piece of cake actually! My pads are almost in need of replacing. When they are I'll most likely do a break upgrade and film a video! Probably in a couple months
Not to steal from Clayton's up coming video but, if you're looking for the tips now, Car Fanatic has videos on this subject for his 911 and the process would be more or less the same as for your Cayman. Good luck!
Congratulation, I am happy for you. You deserve it!! on yeah, a recommendation, just to be on the safe side, I would place safety blocks underneath those jacks just in case they fail. Just looking out for you! Especially, if you are working underneath a car.
Those nuts came off yours very easily and they were in amazing condition. mine were so rusted they were about 12.5mm so no sockets to fit . I had to cut them off with a Dremmel which took about 6 hours, my car has 20k miles so nothing really but I do live in the UK. They are aren't bolts by the way, they're studs that are pressed into the exhaust flange, once again mine took about 10mins to knock each one out with lots of heat and oil, the whole job was a real PITA.
Apparently busting one or more of those flange nuts is really common. It happened to the shop that installed my Carnewal GT exhaust 5yrs ago. It just happened to me when I tried to install a Borla system even though I sprayed a copious amount of WD40 on those nuts and let them soak for an hour. How did you remove the one that you busted?
That's what I would be doing, I want to paint it, but the allure of wrapping it seems nice, plus there is no one that wraps anywhere near where I live, maybe I will give it a shot after all.
Iam looking forward to buy a Cayman next year, preferably the 295ps version. I am not really a mechanic but I have friends who love to work on cars. Is it much harder to work on a cayman on your own then a regular hatchback like a fiesta or something? Does parts break often? This car is an achieveable dream for me but I am a little scared since its a porsche. Love this channel, looking forward to more videos :)
I own a Cayman S, only for a few months, but they are very reliable cars. If you can, go for the 2009 987.2, but if not, the 987.1 (06-08) Cayman S's are great. If you're going to track it, then some things need to be done like water pump, maybe shift cable upgrade, oil sump mod, but if its just a road car, I wouldn't worry too much. I've done some basic maintenance so far like changed the belt, new plugs and coils, new engine air filter, and all of it is easy. Don't be intimidated, they are the best bang for your buck you can get in a sports car. In my opinion, they are much better than a BMW or Mercedes. You pay a little more, but that little more goes a long way. Engineered so well. Just make sure you get a pre-purchase inspection before you buy!! Looking for a computer readout on engine over revs, particularly in a manual transmission.
Porsches are actually very easy to work on. Not much harder than any other car really. Mine in the Video has 108k miles and is showing no signs of it! Runs great, sounds amazing, and I doubt it will break down any time soon! You can pick up high mileage Cayman S's so cheap right now. Great buy
That is good to hear, I will have so save up one more year to have almost all money for it. Currently costing around 25k Eur here in Germany. I am a bit scared about that IMS problem, do you know anything about that? I would daily drive the cayman and it wouldnt see the track once.
IMS is not a concern on the 987.2 at all (intermediate shaft was eliminated) and a veeerry small chance on the 987.1. Once the car is over 50k that is typically indicative of no problems will occur

dope video Clayton, was following you for some time through stradman vids, big ups to the camera lady too haha
Joffrey she's the best!
I can’t wait to hear the new exhaust 😁👂
Cheers!
Fantastic demonstration, making these videos are a lot of work, but please do more :)
32000 on mine and exactly the same rust and shear problem with the bolts. Great instruction!!!!
That QuickJack is a sweet present to yourself!
I m working hard for buy a Cayman S and add some race parts like your so I really appreciate your channel dud 👏👏👏 please don t stop
Been looking forward to this video! Now I just wish I had a Cayman 😂
Thanks a lot for posting this video finally it was incredibly cool 😊
Great video! I enjoyed the step by step. Looking forward to the next one.
That baby gonna sound awesome...way to go Clayton !!!
Sal! I really like the wrap on your Cayman S. Do you have plans for any other mods such as a GT4-style wing?
Drive My Exotic I have a ton of plans!! A wing is one of them!
Awesome! Subscribed as I'm considering one of these cars as well!
Exhaust gifted by stradman😍💯💥

D Wray's Garage the install video is coming soon! Just have to edit It!
Just razzin' ya man. I know you're busy. Looking forward to it all the same!
Love your videos bro keep up the great work👍👍👍
Hi there, i love your videos, hoping to see the Soul Headers installation as well, any discounts on all exhaust system ? i am planning to get it the end of the month.
SAL, Have you ever built the courage to tackle a brake replacement? Im in need on my Cayman S and need some of your video guidance!!
Trey Cordle that would be a piece of cake actually! My pads are almost in need of replacing. When they are I'll most likely do a break upgrade and film a video! Probably in a couple months
Sweet, your videos have been really helpful and have saved me lots of $$. Look forward to it!

Can we dismantle the catalyst without removing the complete line ?
Congratulation, I am happy for you. You deserve it!!
on yeah, a recommendation, just to be on the safe side, I would place safety blocks underneath those jacks just in case they fail. Just looking out for you! Especially, if you are working underneath a car.
Bryn Williams always a good idea! Quickjacks have a built in lock! So when I am under the car it's actually not on the hydrolic pressure
Its that a wrap? The color looks awesome! What is it called?
Johnny Cutter it is, 3m gloss Kelly green

You should get yourself a nice air ratchet Clayton. A lot easier to hold IMO and better for tight space.
Definitely on the wishlist!
make sure do do a cold start, and rev up the car some when the new exhaust is in :)

Is removing the wheels really necessary to get to all the bolts?
Nice video. You should do one on the install too.
james liu install is coming shortly!
2:29 guys in the background. Your welcome
On a scale of 1-10 how hard is wrapping a cayman? Thanks for this video.
frostshock13 caymans are really easy to wrap. The first car I wrapped, and learned on, was an 07 Cayman
That's what I would be doing, I want to paint it, but the allure of wrapping it seems nice, plus there is no one that wraps anywhere near where I live, maybe I will give it a shot after all.
