I have a C4 with PSE (and Sports Chrono) which is nicely broken-in with about 3000 miles since February. I was pleased with the sound from the PSE, but wanted a little more volume and a deeper tone without being obnoxious. I spent a few weeks researching 4 different brands and reading a ton of threads on the forums. After talking with the folks at Soul I decided to take the plunge. I really like the look and upon receiving them, i can attest to the build quality - really solid and the satin finish is as cool in person as it looks.
The install took about 45 minutes and the tech said it was incredibly easy and fitment was spot on. No real smell after the first two minutes (including on any subsequent drives), so i guess they just needed to get warmed up that first time to burn off anything left from manufacturing. No check engine light so far after a week of driving.
The sound is exactly what i was hoping for. In Normal mode it sounds pretty similar, turn on PSE and it sounds a little deeper. In Sport mode it really opens up and has a bit more volume. The posts saying 30-50% louder feel accurate to me. Additionally, there are quite a few more burbles and pops which i also enjoy. As for any power gains, I honestly don't notice much difference. My 0-60 times were mostly consistent before and after, but i got my best time every with the new sport cats installed - 3.47 seconds (although my best was previously 3.51). Could be the cats, but could be the weather, who knows.
When all is said and done, i'm really happy i went ahead with the mod. Quick and easy to do and the sound is absolutely amazing over 6000 RPMs.

The 992 needs a larger HJS HD 200 cell cat core and utilizes CNC machined flanges which greatly raise the cost. On the plus side installation costs are less as the install is much quicker.
