I thinks it's nice as I don't have any other Porsche badging in the car (mostly referring to the console). I also share your aversion to the black plastic. Hate it and want to cover any that I can.

Oh those? They are reimagined cufflinks my SA gave me when I had my 991.2 4S cabrio before I got my Targa. Cut the swivels off because I haven't worn cufflinks for 30 years.

My 28 yo twin daughters with good taste hate them and I've been meaning to remove them. They are a bit much. Thanks for reminding me!

I finally got around to installing the Soul exhaust on my non-PSE car this week. It does sound better, a little more noise and it burbles. It should be better if I can get the dealer to turn PSE on in the programing.

Shout-out to Daniel for his passion to create CF options for our Porsches.

Check it out... cover that glossy crapola.


Matches OEM CF and aligns perfect. Photo lighting distorts the match.
Besides the fact that you added all that CF and the badges on the vents and below the shifter ?!?!??!?! the glaring issue is that it isn't centered.

Default Soul exhaust

Did you opt for the valved or non valved Soul Exhaust? The valved is defined louder than the stock exhaust, but changing to the Soul performance Cats makes the biggest difference in my opinion. Also in my experience, there was a lot of drone initially which has substantially reduced after the first 500 miles.

I went with the Soul valved exhaust. I am not going with the sport cats right now because I have to pass emissions testing here and I have had issues with CEL lights with past sport cats (not Soul brand).

I’ve got the new version of the souls cats on a 2023. No CEL or spacers. Have 1100 miles on them. Paired with Akropovic exhaust.

I do not know a lot about Porsche tuning, but what I learned from tuning other cars is you really cannot change the cats without including some type of engine tune. I am keeping this car pretty mild because I do not have your luck and I would always seem to get a CEL in June right before I had to complete Atlanta, GA emissions testing. Then my mechanic would have to do some funny stuff to get me an emissions pass.

I am doing the exhaust and I will put the BMC air filters in when I do the SS brake lines and ceramic brake pads, since the wheels will be off for that. This is as far as I am willing to go until we move to Miami in a year or so. Then all bets are off! I will get the M ECU tune and the sport cats as a moving gift to myself.

I'm assuming you're changing rotors as well. Do NOT install ceramic pads on normal rotors they'll be toast in no time. YMMV
