The twins. Installation in a little bit...

John, thanks for posting. 200 cell sport cats were undoubtedly the most significant improvement I felt on my 981 GTS. My 992 is scheduled to be finished buildout next month & this is the first (and possibly only) mod I am planning. I am VERY eager to hear your impressions. Have seen no dyno results & curious the impact vs. on a NA motor.

Any particular reason you chose Soul over Fabspeed?

Thanks again!

John Mclane

The overall engineering from Soul, support etc. Fabspeed is good as well for sure. Maybe a bit of persona experience.
I'll write later about the upgrade and stage 2

Please post a sound clip after you get it installed. I would be curious to see how it compares to a full exhaust swap (like Akrapovic).

We got a pre video already. Will post later today the after

Ok, after some codes coming on and off, the cars is quite improved, which is saying something from where it was.

Cold start is awesome. Idling without without PSE on is quite improved with a nice burbling. Not louder but more bass, low growl. That follows as you drive.

Driving slow in town you can note the difference in tone. Again, not much louder. As things pick up, the car awakes and then it's louder. With or without PSE you can hear turbos far more than before.

Stage 2 really made a difference, mostly in low revs, where I wanted. Definitely improves turbo lag. The car is eager for revs, pulls strong all the way to red line. Of course proper testing requires a track, in 2nd gear at redline is enough to go to jail in most counties.

So, overall positive experience and outcome. Another positive note again to Alex from Performance Eurowerks. Professional, accessible, true car guy. Looking forward to see the new shop. The tuning was done in house, as I waited. The whole thing was done in a few hours.

Those are cool! Would definitely love to hear the before/after sound comparo.

Install completed yet?

John Mclane

See above. Went smoothly. Love the sound and even more the power. The growl with PSE off is a major improvement.
I'll get the clips from the tuning shop and post here.

great. Price?

I WANT TO HEAR IT!!!!!!!!!!!

John Mclane

I got more things done in the car and the tuning was stage 2, I have to check the breakdown. For now, I'll ask John Gaydos from Soul to answer that. I believe the part is listed on their site.

markchristenson

I think the parts are $1495 (based on the website). Definitely curious how much installation was, although if you did multiple things then it might be hard to figure exactly how much these alone cost.

Installation was 240 I believe, but that will vary of course. It's actually very simple, very few screws and no bumper removal. See the pics.
In my case we needed to access the ECU for a quick bench tune.

One thing. After seeing how restrictive the OEM cats are, I'd be VERY weary of increasing the turbo pressure. There are reports of OEM cats crumbling because of post-tuning increased turbo pressure and heat. Just my 2c
