Porsche Tax. Welcome Welcome but it's pretty normal TBH.

Also realize most MSRP for a Porsche is in the average $120k Range. Where as new STI is maybe at most $40k?

2010 Subaru STI sells for what, $18k now.
2010 Carrera S - Still sells for $60k

 

I hear you on this car msrp comparison however thats the car. I get that...but a piece of titanium bent to fit a porsche undercarriage should not cost that much more that taking that same piece of titanium and bending for the subaru undercarriage. The material is the same. The bending machine is the same.Maybe I'm missing something..

 

P.o.r.s.c.h.e. t.a.x.

 

Development costs?

 

Check out the price of an exhaust for a Chiron! Supply & Demand - there are many more Subis than P-cars!

 

that's what I was attributing it to as well....knowledge

 

^^^ this!

 

Same, I was in the industry for about 7 years.

Higher margins, lower volume on Porsche parts vs the JDM stuff

 

I have some barely used Soul racing headers if you are interested. I am now with full Soul street headers and valved exhaust on my 991.1 and love it.

 

thanks for the offer. I would be interested in street headers as well

 

which version? pics?

 

About to pick up my 991.1. C2 this weekend, probably will want an exhaust upgrade as my 996 had PSE (which was ON when you turned over the car- brilliant!) but my 991.1 will not.

Has anyone had experience here with Tubi exhausts? I know it's a more European 'style', just curious about real-world/hands-on expertise, if any.

Have not heard much about SOUL or Kline before, but now my interest is piqued...

Any love for Sharkwerks? Substantially less expensive than some of the others, but people seem to like them well enough.

 

Tubi are great! I have a friend with one. A little milder that some others mentioned here but very European and refined. It won't disappoint unless you're expecting LOUD. Made incredibly well too.

Sharkwerks is less because most people just go with their X pipe. Sound but likely drone too... They know a lot about Porsche tuning.

 

We very much appreciate everyone supporting us and saying kind things - it makes all our effort worth it! Thank you so much! Here's hoping everyone in this thread is enjoying their exhaust components!

We set the price low to try and be as fair to our customers as we can while still supporting continued research and development, even as the price of metal and catalytic converters surge. We have a history of tracking our own cars - we build our products for both street and track use. We back purge our welds and take quality control very seriously as we DO intend for our components to be used at the track and warranty them with a Lifetime Warranty. We're PCA Racing sponsors, we've been building Race Exhausts, and our 987.1 Boxster / Cayman headers are now legally sanctioned as the official replacement for failure prone factory headers for Spec racers. If anyone ever has any problems, we will bend over backwards to make things right - that's the policy we founded our company on and we'll never change that. Please use our exhaust components to your fullest capabilities!

If anyone is ever considering an exhaust, we welcome the conversation to discuss your goals and mod path to help you make sure you get exactly what you are looking for, and no less - be it SOUL products or any number of our friends in the industry.

I'm definitely going to give y'all some consideration for my purchase. I trust first-hand experience here more than just about anywhere else on the web, so if people are happy, that says a lot.
