Did the tail of the dragon yesterday and today. OMG… the SOUL OAP’s and rear section f’ing scream!
So excited for more canyon runs, the sound, bouncing between everything is so intoxicating.
Thank you John and Mike!
I can’t wait to get my rear valved rear section. It was due for FedEx to deliver Wednesday, but is in SoCal still since Wednesday afternoon. Coincidently, I ordered a cover online, FedEx Ground, it shipped from India 2 days after my exhaust, it was due the 28th but arrived Thursday. Something’s broke when a package from half way around the world takes less time to deliver than a package within the US.
You sure used every inch of available space for the valved rear section. I dropped the original Tuesday, when my scheduled delivery was Wednesday. I had to remove a few more pieces to get the new rear section in though. This is what my car looked like at about 3 this afternoon, I can’t wait to hear it.
I installed the Soul valve controller and gutted the GPFs just after my car returned from having PPF installed. I forgot to mention in my post last night that FedEx delivered my exhaust about 3:30 Saturday, the miss of the deliver date was not an issue of Soul’s it was entirely FedEx.

Not sure why you had to remove the rear bumper, but I know there's a video out there of Obsessed Garage installing the valved rear section from Soul just removing underbody panels.
I installed my race exhaust as well just removing the underbody panels

Although I didn't install a Soul rear section, I did not have to remove the bumper to do the work... just saying.

Hi Merlotsj ! These are the exacts mods i want for my gts 4.0 (september). Was it difficult to reach the t fitting on the transmission (vacuum hose)? How long for your work? The instructions from Soul are not very explicite. Did you remove the muffler? Thank you.

Every millimeter is more like it, the design is quite complex and we had to squeeze a lot in there haha. Most have done it with the bumper on, but I have had a few shops do it bumper off as some find it more accessible. If you have any questions, feel free to give me a call any time at 4848836197.

- he totally skips from 30:33 where they are holding the exhaust not yet in place to 30:34 where it is in place. I imagine they did some head scratching here too. If you notice the big scratch in the center, that is where it was hitting this bolt
I took a look at Matt’s video again - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVQq5nfgliQ - he totally skips from 30:33 where they are holding the exhaust not yet in place to 30:34 where it is in place.

I just couldn’t get it by there.
I'm not sure where that bolt is? Difficult to tell from the pic.
Did the install on my back and alone... arms were like jello later that night! It is a tight fit but doable. The German word for Virgin comes to mind... GoesInTight!

Quoting myself!
If I had to do this again, I would still leave the bumper on. BUT... I would also remove the OAP's to create a bit more wiggle room. What's 6 more bolts if you've got it that far apart.
FWIW I'm average skilled wrench-wise and I've done the swap in less than 3 hours, alone with a quickjack.
It's not an incredibly pleasant experience but totally doable
