Hey everyone! We know you’ve been waiting but it’s finally time! We are happy to release our hand-made upgrades for the 997.2 Carrera to increase your driving enjoyment. We very much appreciate everyone's ongoing interest and support! To start we have muffler and tip upgrades but we’ll have catted and catless headers available as well very soon.
DEVELOPMENT: A “CMB” is widely considered to be the ideal starting exhaust mod as it yields the best return on sound optimization for the 997.2 platform – especially on cars with the factory Porsche Sport Exhaust. After consulting with top tier Porsche tuners and engine builders our final design keeps the banks separate (like the factory layout) to prevent loss of low end torque while increasing overall performance. Rasp is cut down over a crossover pipe design through large radius bends with greater flow than factory. The incorporated Torca clamps allow for the best possible fitment on older vehicles.
SOUND: The SOUL Center Muffler Bypass exhaust amplifies the existing exhaust characteristics of the factory system – expect more feedback and growl from the flat six engine. Volume on and off throttle is increased by a moderate amount for a refined level of enjoyment. In-cabin presence is increased slightly to give you much welcomed feedback from the vehicle without droning.
WEIGHT: 3.6 lbs / 1.5 kg less than factory exhaust components (12.7 lbs vs 16.3 lbs)![](https://soulpp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/SOUL-997.2-Carrera-Center-Muffler-Bypass-Exhaust-Comparison.jpg)
DEVELOPMENT: The 997.2 Carrera desperately needs exhaust mods – it’s so quiet you can barely hear the engine under load. SOUL Sport Side Mufflers are designed around drone fighting mufflers to maintain a premium driving experience – but outperform a standard muffler through a hybrid design. Talk tubes bridge piping before and after the mufflers to allow for some exhaust flow to bypass the mufflers during aggressive driving – like a mild muffler bypass without the harsh tone and volume. This hybrid design allows for a throatier more aggressive note than a standard side muffler replacement on moderate to aggressive throttle application while maintaining the refined cabin presence of a muffled system during cruising.
SOUND: SOUL mufflers have ample sound attenuating materials to provide an increase in sporty exhaust tone without inducing drone or any negative notes. They are a great upgrade to pair with aftermarket headers or a center muffler bypass exhaust to increase excitement without being overbearing while mitigating any potential rasp. If you’re looking for an OEM+ exhaust note that is never overly aggressive, we recommend this modification over center muffler bypass exhaust.
BOLT ON EXHAUST TIPS
MSRP: $495 - $645![](https://soulpp.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/SOUL-997.1-Carrera-Bolt-On-Tips.jpg)
CONSTRUCTION: Each system is made in-house by our fabrication team from mandrel bent .065″ wall, 2.5″ diameter T304L stainless steel tubing and laser cut brackets. All welds are back purged for increased longevity under the most extreme conditions.
BOLT ON AND GO: Each exhaust is built and tested in a thick gauge aluminum fixture (which prevents warping) to ensure perfect fitment. Every set is rigorously quality-checked prior to shipping.

CUSTOMIZATION: Custom logos (or no logo) and even custom colors are optional - they’re your tips you can have them your way. We can do both PVD and Jet-Hot ceramic coatings each with their own benefits.
LIFETIME WARRANTY: We expect our products to have the snot beat out of them for their lifetime, including track use. That’s what these cars are meant to do. Therefore, we offer a Lifetime Warranty including track use on all of our products. The only exceptions are circumstances outside of our control like going over a speed bump at 90mph or hitting a wall at the track. However, we will work outside of warranty situations like these for a fair resolution for all involved.
We’d like to thank Andreas for his help with development!It's been a pleasure working with the community and we look forward to quickly getting you your exhaust components or helping in any way we can by answering any questions. Don't hesitate to reach out to us!

That is my 997.2 that Soul used in the development. We went through all the different configurations. I do love the slightly improved performance from the headers, but the sound is amazing. Turns heads when you start it and accelerate. At about 4-5K RPM it has a nice humm, but nothing that would get too much for a long ride on the highway. Now it sounds like an actual sports car. The standard 4S is very quite. If I want quite I can get a Tesla

Not with the catted headers, we're using some monster HJS HD cat cores in those ![Cheers](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/beerchug.gif)
They are right around the corner, as soon as i have them in hand I'll give you a shout!
Thanks for chiming in buddy! Once the catted headers are done we'll get that CEL taken care of, no other way running catless save for tuning it...cough cough

Here's Scot finishing up a set of our Sport Side Mufflers!
![](https://soulpp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/SOUL-997.2-Carrera-Side-Mufflers-Fabrication.jpg)
Scot's been working on cars for over half a century having owned over 50 cars from his mint 1969 Camaro SS, an LS1 swapped E30 project with his son, to his 67 Chevelle currently getting an LS2 drivetrain. When he's not building your exhausts he's still out there on two wheels - and is faster than his son! We're convinced he will live forever!![hiha](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/roflmao.gif)
