And Fabspeed does not do this?
The 1901 Curved Dash Oldsmobile was the first mass produced vehicle in the US. Should Henry Ford have bothered if someone else was already doing it? Hanksville Hot Rods, Milltek, Billy Boat, FVD, and Velocity AP are also producing secondary cat bypass pipes for the Cayenne - they deserve some credit as well. Competition is good for everyone. It drives companies to build better products and mind pricing. Potential buyers have more options to choose from when it comes to what they value - be it customer service, pricing, or what have you.
A local friend and customer asked us to produce a set for his car because he believes in our customer service, and we’re working towards offering more solutions for Porsche and beyond. Our mission is to deliver outstanding customer service and we believed we could build a better product at a better price.
Why SOUL? The OEM pipes were first scanned with a ROMER arm, and a bend profile was developed to produce smooth, large radius bends from this .065” thick US sourced T304L stainless steel – bent in a ISO 9001:2015 certified facility. When we weld our water jet cut flanges on, we back purge the welds to ensure proper penetration and overall product longevity – pictured below is Evan TIG welding on the final mounting flanges and you can see the back-purging setup.
If anyone ever has questions about SOUL please call and talk to our Performance Specialist, John Gaydos, who loves to go above and beyond to make a happy and informed customer - and friend. ��

I'm not sure what some of this means. For example " bent in a ISO 9001:2015 certified facility" why is this better than a pipe that was not bent in a certified facility? i don't really know what benefits a romer arm scanned pipe has. Is this normal stuff that everybody does, or is this procedure, better than what fabspeed uses and why? Id be more interested in what benefits you pipe has , over fabspeed. and why.

ISO certification is reflected in the quality of the individual components. This means the mandrel bent pipes and flanges are produced to the strictest tolerances with highly calibrated machines. The end result is the best possible fitment.
Per ISO's website:
ISO 9001:2015 Quality management systems -- Requirements
a: "needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements"
Romer / laser scanning allows you to have the exact specifications of the factory components / aftermarket components in 3D. This helps create high quality bend profiles and keeps info on hand for R&D to consider should any modifications want to be made - such as adding resonators or valved dump tubes.
Benefits:
Back purged welds for durability
Ready to ship
Fitment guarantee
Best price
Lifetime warranty including track use
Customization (we built a set sans logos for a California customer looking to keep the appearance as stock like as possible)
Our excellent customer service record. You can call John Gaydos for support at 1 AM and there's an 80% chance he'll answer!
These are primarily sound enhancers, but if power is a concern, we'll pay for dyno runs if anyone wants to get third party numbers.

In addition to the above post, what benefits are there over the stock pipes (other than the exhaust note)? I am also waiting for you to post a video clip on a Cayenne Turbo as I have a '15 Turbo. Also, by installing your product - will that void my remaining Porsche factory warranty?
Porsche can't void your warranty over the mod, but they can try and deny warranty claims that "may be related to your modifications or caused by them". This mod doesn't cause check engine lights and is easily reversible. As we always say, every dealer is unique - some install mods themselves, some are against it. When in doubt check with your dealer as it is their final say.

We're working hard on expanding our video library. Marketing incentives are available to anyone who can provide us with several video clips that we can edit together into a video. Alternatively, since we don't have a video for the S - if you'd like to try them out and decide they don't meet your expectations, we'll take them back for a refund.

Bump for some videos. And of course if you need some videos and someone showcasing it in the NorCal area- let me know if you need some content, install photos etc done. I'm looking around for a 2nd cat bypass. I have a '15CS and I really like everything I've seen from your company so far.

I purchased and installed the Soul secondary cat bypass pipes on my 2011 Cayenne Turbo 2 weeks ago and I am very pleased with the result. The exhaust now sounds a little deeper and throatier than it did stock. When in park and revved you can slightly hear the turbos spool. Still very quiet inside the cab, just a little more rumble than before and no drone. When accelerating quickly in sport mode it even has a nice upshift note that it didn't have prior, similar to the PDK. Videos pending....

I Installed the Soul bypass pipes as well on my 2013 CS.
The fabrication quality on these is masterful to say the least.
Sounds wise, on the NA V8 motor with the standard exhuast system, there is a very slight increase in sound in the cabin, zero drone in the cabin.
Most noticeable thing though, the throttle response is a helluva lot better. Drives way smoother. Videos pending.
