Most of our products are build to order, some we do in batches so that we can get them coated or outfitted with heat shields. We have a fabrication list system that tracks all of this and orders are fulfilled in the order they were placed - and we're thankful to have hundreds of orders to build. Our 991.2 PSE tips are hand built so we can't just pick them off the shelf. We've been working heavily on increasing our production output without sacrificing quality. So far we've expanded the footprint of our facility and we've just hired 6 new fabricators to our team! We're not done yet - we look forward to driving down lead times as we build even better products. I understand the wait is excruciating - we really do appreciate the support and understanding of everyone who waits as we work overtime and then some to do better.

Just wanted to give a long term update on these headers now that the weather is getting warm and more and more people have installed them...
When these headers were originally installed back in late October 2020, the car had 33,700 miles on it, this morning I've crossed 42,000 miles
From a performance standpoint, they still leave me tickled every time; the low end torque is just as fun as it was on the day they were installed. The biggest change for sure would be the tone. In the lower part of the band, the rumble is more pronounced... as you work your way up the power band, the exhaust really breathes and man does it scream.
The beauty of all this is that none of it is annoying or irritating; 8000+ miles in, I'd say this is by far my favorite mod. Overtime, the sound becomes even more sublime, and it just really enhances the driving experience... am definitely glad I put these on early in the car's lifetime as I've got a bunch more miles to enjoy
As a side note, when I went to a drive through vaccination center, the officers radioed each other to hold up traffic for a second because they were bored and wanted to hear the exhaust.... thumbs up, smiles, and waves were exchanged with all parties and even some of the traffic (some middle fingers too of course!).... get a set, you'll spread some happiness

Only my humble opinion, but I do not feel 4-8 week wait times for products such as these is terrible. I waited last month 4 weeks for a Dell notebook. Albeit not bespoke, I feel products like Soul's lie in a slightly different segment, and I would never feel slighted by having to wait 4-8 weeks. I would much rather them be busy and properly filling orders than rushing and having quality sacrificed for a one week quicker turnaround.
Here's a quick video of a Carrera T with our Sport Headers and Cat Bypass Pipes to tide everyone over!

Global supply chains are wrecked too. One supplier told me there is a 26 week lead time for an electrical connector. Another supplier has sheet stainless steel in stock right now, but no visibility on when they can get more. If you need an electrical chip, good luck. Entire car factories are shut down because there is a shortage of chips for electronic devices. Like video graphic cards are 3x their normal price.

Funny to have after a year a couple of reminders of how happy I am with the Sport Cats.
Last week I took my car to an independent place and when I picked it up later in the week, a few of them were asking me about what exhaust I had..as they thought it was incredible. Then yesterday I dropped my vehicle off at the dealership. Just before leaving in the loaner, I hear a loud noise, and realize it is my car being started up about 50 yards away. As they drove it into service, it sounded really, really good. I rarely hear it from distance let alone from outside the cabin. It definitely has a presence outside that doesn't always permeate inside obviously to the same extent, and was very interesting to hear it from farther away. Reminders of a good decision to install Soul's product.

posted a short track video on here after headers and exhaust install. Sounds awesome! looking into another tweek in the Cobb tune.
I have the Soul 200 cell cats with around a 600 miles on them,
any offers welcome. They were great. I'm just going to a dedicated track set up for now.
