Here is a quick video me and my son made. Honestly the install takes max 1.5hrs to complete start to finish.

was the top bolt a SOB to get off because of the placement of the head?

It wasn't bad. I used a crescent wrench on the bottom of the bolt and it came loose. When I put it all back, I made sure to put the bolt head on the bottom

How did you deal with the O2 sensors?

Awesome video!

Posting embedded for you, not sure why it didn't?

I had to do it a little different.

I loosened all the screws. Then I removed 3 of the 4 heat shield screws. Then I removed the complete Catylic converter. I held it with one hand and used a 22mm wrench to undo the O2 sensor, then removed the whole thing.

After I installed the Soul cat completely. After it was installed, I took the O2 sensor gave it 5 full turns counter clockwise and screwed it into the cat. Double checked all connections and done.

The full process took me about 30min including making a little video with my kid.

That's pretty damn quick! We're just going to fly you around to do installs for our customers!

haha, that is per side 😊. But yes very simple and loved it in the end. Great product

Nice video, great bonding experience for you and your son. Nothing beats the satisfaction of taking the car out for a ride after and seeing the smile on his face.

If anyone wants to bond with me for an install, let us know and we'll get a Soul product on your vehicle haha!

Thanks for taking the time to make that video...I'll use it when installing my bypass pipes.

Regarding the sound of the sport cats; How would you rank the sound decibel increase on a scale of 1-10 with 1 being stock and 10 being straight-piped loud AF? Some of the videos for the sport cats I've heard sound basically stock but I realize a YouTube video doesn't represent real life sound quality.

Thank you, im trying to keep my son busy and what better way than working on the car together and bonding. I will try to post videos with him about anything regarding the Porsche or cars as I get requests or ideas


When we were driving it after, the car sounded stockish in normal driving mode. In Sport mode, the car was louder. I would say 3-4 on a scale 1-10. You do hear it more, but it's not obnoxiously loud and not quiet either. Mind you all this is with windows closed as it's -40 degrees Celsius where we are right now. But in the cabin it sounds good definitely I would recommend.

You can also get to the top through the wheel well, same area that gets exposed when you're doing the intake filter. I opted to go this route because latching onto the bottom felt risky.
