No they're not. They are working on headers with cats. It's not the same thing and not an option today. I was a little harsh but I'm getting frustrated with reading so much misinformation.
On another board was just speaking about the ability of a cayman/boxster vs a 911. People like you that don't know chime in a make statements about the cayman being better handling. It's not. Mid engine? okay - 7% better weight balance but an equal generation will never be as planted as a 911. Ever.
On a 991.1 911 - you cannot simply replace the cats like on a 991.2... Making such a statement confuses the OP and is a giveaway the the person making the suggestion doesn't know what they're talking about and has no experience in this area.

Seems like there's a couple price points that are fairly consistent between manufacturers. Looking at all the offerings, Soul's full exhaust system provides a really good value coming in right under 3k compared to many of the others reaching over 4.5k.
X Pipe system $1500-$2000
Full stainless system $3000-$4500
Full titanium system $8000-$10000
X Pipe system $1500-$2000
Full stainless system $3000-$4500
Full titanium system $8000-$10000

I disagree. For example, high-flow cats for the 991.2 (please take note Gargoyle) are made by numerous makers and countless Rennlisters and others have them and they all produce pretty much an identical sound but the price varies quite a bit. Pulse Racing in Jacksonville installed my Souls and I asked Terry, the owner, about some of the others in regards to quality and he agreed; however, he mentioned that the Akras were not what they used to be and they are now farming out some of the work due to demand since people think that because they cost so much they must be a lot better, which they are not.

Keep an eye out for used x-pipes as the good ones don't really deteriorate and the sound won't be any different. I got mine used and paid $500 for a Sharkwerks and it has worked just fine now for more than 4 years. The dealer installed it for me for $150.

Hey Scott
when you switch out these cats from the OEM does the car still pass emissions? I live in Arizona. Would like to do headers and cats but worry about it passing smog test.
thanks!
