I picked up my car yesterday from the dealer after they installed the Soul sport cats. The sound is absolutely fantastic. Listening to the turbos spool down after deceleration is incredible. My SA even made a special call to me to tell me how bad a$$ they sound. They have installed other sport cats but this was the first time for Soul and they were impressed. Two thumbs up for Soul!

That's what we like to hear, and thanks for the kind words! When you have some time, message or call me with your installer and SA info, I'd love to reach out to them

+ In valve closed (non-sport) mode, the exhaust is still very quiet and well mannered. I love this. Quiet when I want it to be quiet and low on the notice band.
+ In valve open mode (sport mode), the Sport Cats provide some really, really interesting enhancements:
+ Spectacular sounds / whistling from the turbo chargers. You cannot believe how subtle but cool these sound. It's amazing.
+ Much deeper/nicer sound on hard acceleration. Nothing that will get you pulled over, but a great/deep/solid sound.
+ Much more interesting burbles on down-shifting.

The only way I can describe it is this. If you have the Targa top down, and you spent extra $$$ on the GTS, there is no better enhancement / bang-for-buck than the Sport Cats. It just brings the car alive a bit more when you want to get on it. And makes the whole experience far more involving and enjoyable.

I had a shop outside Dallas install my Soul Sport Cats but I suspect you could easily install this yourself if you were so inclined.

I hope this helps you.
Thank you the helpful review of your Soul cats. I have the same car and was considering them also. Can you tell any difference in performance. I am in the People’s Republic of California so I have to weigh the burden of switching them out to pass out emissions testing in a few years. I find the sound of the new gts a bit staid but not sure that is enough for me to make the change. I am also considering the akrapovic exhaust as I have a bit of a fetish for their titanium and welding. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for chiming in Bob

Knock on wood here but I don't believe I've had a single fellow with a 991.2 that was uncomfortable or unhappy with the cabin presence of adding our sport cats to their car.

Anyone that has installed high flow cats if u did it yourself How long did it take u? Did u use a lift?
If you paid a shop to install How much did they charge? what part of the country do u live?
I am getting some prices to have a shop install in the North East and they seem pretty high to me?
If I had a lift I would install myself but I dont know if I want to tackle this job on jack stands. The install looks pretty straight forward I guess one of the bolts on the heat shield is hard to reach from what I have heard.

Any comments or recommendations from this much learned group?

You need a lift, or at least get the rearend up. It took my Indy shop about 2 1/2 hours to do and they charge $110 an hour labor here in the US (FL).

I paid $500 to install the cats and remove and reinstall the CPU after the tune.

I would recommend removing rear bumper. The rear O2 sensor removal is not easy and they are prone to breaking. The SOUL instructions are very good.

My rear bumper did not have to come off and I had the Soul Cats installed. The guy with the skinniest arms in the shop worked on the O2 sensors and had no problem.

Fabspeed vs Soul?
Which cats should I get?
The Fabspeed sounds better when listening to video.
Soul is a better price and has stellar reviews.
On the fence.....
Thanks for any replies

Sound is subjective so my advice is take some time and read the countless threads/posts here and decide.

Soul is really the only choice. Between the quality of the product, the sound, and the amazing customer service there really is no other choice.
