Soul Performance: Long tube headers and Catback exhaust review
Let me start by introducing myself, My name is Cole. I drive a 2016 Porsche Cayman S. I have always been heavy into modifying everything I own, The Cayman is no exception. There are several carbon fiber aero parts on my car I am exclusively offering in the USA, if interested pm me. Also runing some Getty Racing exterior parts as well and helped figure out disabling the factory spoiler via PIWIS for aftermarket fixed wings on the 981. Immediately I was intoxicated with the sound of the PSE exhaust from the factory yet I knew that would not last long. Within 2 months of having the car I ordered Fabspeed Catless Headers. Installing these was nothing short of "frustrating". Nothing seemed to fit and align like factory. I ended up having to create my own thin socket on the lathe in order to reach several bolts into the head. a 5" bolt and nut was required to force alignment of the fabspeed kit to the factory PSE. When it was finally done...It sounded incredible. So loud and So aggressive. I was hooked. Dyno numbers for this system on a mustang dyno were 315 Whp and 275 tq with other supporting mods and CB tuning/ Euro Dynamics Tune. I drove the car like this for several months.
Fast forward to April, I was contacted by Soul Performance and propositioned with replacing my current exhaust system for their full LONG TUBE headers and valved exhaust. I was happy with my set up so why would I change? Well I was intrigued by the idea of more exhaust allowing for some more usable power. Also upon seeing their product and quality control I knew they were going to be a serious contender to the market. I wanted in and agreed. I dropped my car off for less than a week while they test fit and installed the exhaust. It’s very nice the stock oem exhaust open/close button is retained on the console trim. I didn't expect much in terms of sound nor power pick up being i already had a full catless set up....I was BLOWN AWAY when i picked the 3.4 Cayman up. It sounded like a GT3, like a Porsche should sound! Power, Respect, and Deep noted. I fell in love all over again. I could not stop manualing shifting the car just to hear the backfires and gurgles. I took the long way home that day.
Several days later on the same exact tune, at the same shop as before, and almost identical weather aside from a few degrees hotter (78 degrees vs 69 the last test) I dyno'd the car once again. 326 whp and 287 tq!!! from an exhaust change. Those gains are no joke and it is felt throughout the entire rev range. If I was purchasing an exhaust for a Porsche again. I would not look anywhere else but Soul Performance. I went in not expecting much and left with an exceedingly good experience. The finish resembles titanium, and the badass sound have gotten me nothing but compliments and thumbs up everywhere I go. Highly Recommend SOUL PERFORMANCE. I will add anybody who is interested in videos and photos via my personal social media instagram @TheRealColeHager. 1-855-486-1400 is the contact for SOUL. I have no affiliation with Soul outside of a customer relationship. If they sucked, you all would have heard it that way. Buy the ticket and take the ride. You will not be disappointed.
I also have my vehicle currently in Michigan right now working with a shop (Paragon Motorsports) to get very high end race insprired suspension components made, GT4 style lower control arms, toe links , drop links the whole 9 yards. Will post my review of those parts as well in the coming months. I look forward to working with this platform to further improve it anyway I can. These will be on par and beyond elephant racing. Thank you all for your time to read!
