DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING: We wanted to form a Porsche exhaust that’s as aggressive as possible while minimizing drone – greater volume with a greater amount of pops and burbles on deceleration. Support for high power was another consideration – making 3″ tubing a necessity. We experimented with adding a mixing chamber to our X-pipe design. The analysis in 3D CAD software showed a general increase in velocity gained downstream of the mixing chamber across a band of measured pressure and temperature levels. This produces optimal flow characteristics, reduced back pressure for higher HP, and enhances the sound quality of the exhaust system . Quad race resonators make a discernible difference in reducing drone while encouraging a more refined exhaust note
POWER: Third-party testing was performed on a Mustang Dyno at R/T Tuning. Baseline power with SOUL Competition X-Pipe Exhaust System and a COBB off the shelf map was 554 whp and 642 ft-lbs of torque. A custom tune pushed power to 562 whp and 631 ft-lbs of torque with significant gains from midrange all the way through to redline!
SOUND: The 997.2 ushered in a new level of refinement to the Porsche 911 with a nice increase in cabin quality. The exhaust makes itself known in the cabin without being overly aggressive – you have to try very hard to make the system drone. You’ll be treated to a greater presence from the turbos and a bolder flat six engine note.
CONSTRUCTION: Each exhaust system is made from mandrel bent T304L 3″ .065″ wall stainless steel tubing, straight-through race resonators with a full metal packing design for maximum durability, and laser cut brackets for perfect fitment. Choose from several hand-finished exhaust tip options to get the look that suits your 997.2 the best – or reuse your factory tips.
BOLT ON AND GO: Each exhaust is tested in a fixture to guarantee fitment and then foam packed to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. Thorough installation instructions are included in the box for a straightforward install that can be performed by most DIY enthusiasts.
LIFETIME WARRANTY: Enjoy your SOUL exhaust components with confidence on both the street and track as they are covered by our Lifetime Warranty ! Our team will quickly work with you to resolve any issues or answer any questions that you may have.
