Hey folks,
Just wanted to chime in with my experiences with John G, Oliver, and the rest of the Soul gang. I can't say enough great things about them! John and I have been chatting about my car, and general opinion of performance, and emotion during the time of ownership. I mentioned that it was a base non-PSE and could def use something extra, and he was gracious enough to schedule some time with me to drive to their location for meet, tour, and install!
Long story short, the folks there are phenomenal; entertaining all my random questions and being patient with me as one would with a kid in a candy store I need not say much about the product either - it's true to it's name, def gives the car a lot of soul! Like I told John, they're not in the performance parts business, they're in the happiness business - give them a shot, you will be happy!
Oh yeah, I also was gifted a set of one of a kind carbon exhaust quad tips - THEY ARE AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING! Will go snap some pics, or hopefully John will be able to chime in
+1 on having a great experience. I didn't even end up working with them directly in the end, but still offered to jump on the phone at ANY TIME to chat about ANYTHING.
Yep can't recommend those guys enough. Great product and experience.
Post up some pics of the exhaust tips. I am already thinking I may need to upgrade!
Here are some photos of his visit to our facility this week having our full Non-PSE Street Package installed. This package is now available for both the Base Model Non PSE and S Model Non PSE. S Non PSE models require a different tip outlet pipe to accommodate a properly fitting exhaust tip. We will now be offering our own Carbon Fiber (featured below), Polished Chrome, and Black Chrome tip option for all Non PSE models in conjunction with our X-Pipe exhaust replacement.
Varun,
Thank you very much for your time and your business. You are quite the enthusiast and I look forward to seeing and working with you again soon, hopefully on track!
Regards,
John Gaydos

So… how “bad” is the droning without the anti-drone tubes? What is the RPM for which the resonator is tuned? I’d like to lose the weight, and if the car is “typically” above the drone zone, maybe save like $2 bucks.
Got to say the same about the guys at Soul. Did the cat delete on my 991.2 GTS and it is amazing!! Have had so many P guys tell me how good it sounds. Then got a used set of tips and they re-coated them for me for a killer deal. Use their stuff!!

If you plan on doing more than just the exhaust I recommend going with the anti-drone tubes. Not opting for the tubes would save around 3/4 lbs - which you would be hard pressed to notice - but you would definitely notice the cabin presence around 1,800-2000 RPM that would result. It's significant enough that we went through a great amount of testing with different components and several variations of helmholtz resonators to target and remove it. It's the difference between a system with a high level of testing to get things just right and remove annoyance while allowing the best notes of the car to shine through and just being a race oriented system.

Got it - wasn’t sure if the turbos knocked down the resonance a fair amount (I’ve experienced that on other turbo cars). Sounds like y’all did your homework and if my I want my wife to be happy-ish, anti-drone it is.
