Thank you, Joe, for working with us to get data - and what great data it is! We're glad you like the performance and sound gains.

Here is the dyno chart provided by Growler Motor Labs:

We're very happy with the results and at this point we are having the piping mandrel bent up in a one piece design and production will start shortly. The valved exhaust will be available shortly as well. Stay tuned for more updates!

Thanks for your help as well, Mike. It was money well spent. I may have to buy the headers too!

You're most welcome! Ready when you are!

The wait is almost over! We're gearing up for production with first systems available in early-mid July. They are very labor intensive to build hence the time frame.



Our Valved Exhaust will have an MSRP of $2,995 with carbon fiber / stainless steel dual wall tips and $2,795 without tips (resuse factory). Contact us anytime to preorder and get your Rennlist discount.

I bought 2005 997.1 with less than 30,000 miles a few months ago, after my C6 Corvette was rear ended, and totaled. I loved that car, but I think I love this one more...I just installed the Soul valved exhaust last week. It replaced the stock PES that rattled like crazy every time I came to a stop.
I had the exhaust and tips shipped by Soul, and everything was miticulously surrounded by foam packing when it arrived. I opted to install them myself, and the instructions were straight forward. I removed the bumper for easier access...not sure that had to be done, but it made it easy to get to everything. Everything fit perfectly without pursuation, and the new carbon fiber exhaust tips looked great as well. I am very pleased with the sound and the option for running with and without the exhaust engaged. With the valves opened, it sounds amazing through the gears...downshift rev matching has a great punctuation as well. With the valves closed, and exhaust routed through the muffler it is way tamer. The sound is consistent with the Soul website video clips, only so much better in person. So, this is my first Rennlist post, I have already spent way too many hours surfing around on the Rennlist site...what a great resource.

This looks like a quality system. Any plans for titanium?

Thank you! Not in the near future. If money is no limit, we could build it. It would be expensive to the point where we aren't sure it would be sellable at the price point it would come in at. It takes us around 3 days to make each set as it is, lots of man hours, but the results are worth it!

When will be the 200 cell cats ready for sale? What do you think on the combination of all three components, headers, cats and mufflers? I guess the control of the flaps of the mufflers will be compatible with the OEM switch of Porsche? Thank you.

The 200 cell cats will be ready later this month. Combining the higher flow cats with the exhaust will be quite loud and raw, but if that is what you are after it's a fine way to do it. Our valve functionality is different, we would need to source a new solenoid type and do some experimenting for the system to be compatible with the PSE controls. If you already have PSE, the cats and headers would be a great addition to start with - that volume level and tone might be enough for most.

We were asked to make muffler bypass pipes - happy to oblige!


QUICK FACTS:
  • They're built in house out of .065" thick stainless steel and are 2.25" OD to allow for the best possible flow. Base models will need to use ours or aftermarktip tips with a 2.25" inlet.
  • MSRP is $295 without tips and $695 with our Bolt On Exhaust Tips
  • They weigh 36.5 lbs less than the factory side mufflers
  • Oh yes, they are loud!
