Default SOUL | 997 GT3 Center Muffler Bypass Exhaust



Our Center Muffler Bypass increases the invigorating flat-six tone that you love without sacrificing comfort during daily driving. Retaining the stock side mufflers and valves allows you to control the sound with the factory sport button. This exhaust also pairs well with headers for those looking for the ultimate track setup in terms of power and sound – and we back track use under our Lifetime Warranty!



CONSTRUCTION: Each system is made from T304L stainless steel tubing. New brackets and hardware are included to mount the system. We use Mikalor Supra Heavy-Duty W4 Clamps to mount our Single Wall and Carbon Fiber Tips to the exhaust. Projection welding spots, swinging bridge, high-strength stainless steel bolt and the exclusive design of the captive nut and trunion offer superior clamping forces and longevity. AccuSeal clamps are included to connect the exhaust to the side mufflers. We offer a variety of tip options ranging from hand-built carbon fiber tips to attractive single wall stainless steel tips. Our black tips are PVD coated matte black for a long lasting finish.



LIFETIME WARRANTY:
Enjoy your Soul exhaust components with confidence on both the street and track as they are covered by our Lifetime Warranty! Our team will quickly work with you to resolve any issues that you may have.



TIP OPTIONS: Choose from 3.5" slash cut or straight cut single wall stainless tips, 3.5" carbon fiber dual wall tips, or 3.5" dual wall tips.




MSRP: Starting at $845

In stock and ready to ship! See all information on our product page here or contact us with any questions!

Thank you for the kind words, and I couldn't agree more about the wheels!

They are Forgeline GA1R three piece wheel with hidden hardware.

I got a few tips together for visual reference - some aren't for GT3 which explains the difference in the inlets. The 3.5" tips are 89mm.

They can not, but we offer customization of logos should you want to tailor them more to your desires.

These are great systems, have one on my 997.1 GT3. Very high quality, carefully packed and great sounding.

In addition, Mike and the guys at Soul are great to deal with.

These are not made in the USA at your PA location correct? I just want to verify for the community.

Generally our goal is to plan out an exhaust component and try to make it stand out for any multitude of reasons - and perform them well. There is a wealth of options for the GT3 with many other vetted manufacturers providing pieces from different parts of the world - what could we offer this market that it doesn't already have? In this case, we aim to have the best priced center muffler bypass exhaust backed by a Lifetime Warranty (including track use) with a multitude of customizable tip options. If anyone manages to crack one at the track chasing a new lap record, we'll have another one in the mail same day. Some of our CMB customers want an intermediary solution between stock and a more expensive option maybe they want to test the waters (and in most cases their wives' ears) before going all out. Some just like a good deal and we're happy to provide.

We evaluate and touch up any welds that don’t meet our expectations – as seen below. We hand finish every system with a proprietary blend of bead blasting to get a uniform and complete finish - there is no hiding flaws.



While we could certainly build one in house, and we've drafted up designs and priced out components - we wouldn't be able to offer the best price. We selected a premiere facility in Taiwan to provide our CMB and we build the tips in house with the option for customization (cut, finish, length, logo) and inspect everything before it’s packed up securely. That said, we do build the majority of our exhaust components in house, from 991.2 Carrera sport cats to 997.1 Turbo x-pipe exhaust with much more coming.

As we grow as a company, expect to see more products, more strides in quality, more options, and more content! We’re currently developing side muffler bypass pipes and considering what to build – evaluating T321 stainless construction and flex section vs v-band for best fitment.
