At Soul Performance Products we take the Porsche 987.2 chassis seriously, so seriously in fact, we acquired a 2009 Cayman S to use as a long term development car.
When you purchase from Soul Performance Products, you are buying more than an upgrade for your car. We aim to surpass and redefine all expectations of how a product is provided and how the customer is cared for. We not only always carry stock of our products, but cover them with a Lifetime Warranty.
We developed the VALVED EXHAUST on our own Project 987.2 Cayman S to ensure the delta between exhaust modes was noticeable and refined, even when paired with aftermarket headers. Our system offers a true night and day difference between mild and race like tones at the press of a button
COMPETITION HEADERS provide the most bang for your buck performance modification available. Removing the catalytic converter you are able to reduce heat, save weight and provide significant power gains at a reasonable cost.
Our LONG TUBE STREET HEADERS are built around large diameter, free flowing HJS HD 200-cell catalytic converters with long tube runners for maximum gains in power, throttle response, and flat-six engine tone. Add performance without throwing a check engine light.
DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING: By creating unique applications for the 987.2 platform, we’ve focused on sizing our header runners (2”) and collectors correctly to extract maximum power from the 3.4L engine while producing great gains from the 2.9L as well.
During dyno testing on a Dynojet, we experienced max gains of 8 whp and 11 ft-lbs of torque at 4,100 RPM on the Soul project Cayman S (PDK) with our Long Tube Street Headers and Exhaust. Competition Headesr + Valved Exhaust unlocked 9 whp and 10 ft-lbs of torque at 4,100 RPM
CONSTRUCTION: Our precision engineered headers are meticulously fabricated from T304L stainless steel. Proven design elements including port matched flanges, smooth radius primary tubing, and collectors that optimize the exhaust flow all work in conjunction to maximize power gains. Every component is rigorously quality-checked prior to shipping.
Each system is made from mandrel bent T304L stainless steel tubing and features mufflers with fortified casings in the interest of durability. You can order the exhaust to suit your specific aesthetic desires – select from our Signature Satin or a full polish finishes, with tips of your choosing.
BOLT ON AND GO: Each product is tested in a fixture to ensure perfect fitment. Thorough installation instructions are included in the box for a straightforward install that can be performed by most DIY enthusiasts.
LIFETIME WARRANTY: Enjoy your Soul exhaust components with confidence on both the street and track as they are covered for life! Our team will quickly work with you to resolve any issues or questions that you may have. We cover our HJS catalytic converters with an unprecedented 3 year warranty while the headers themselves are backed by our Lifetime Warranty.

Is the development car a PDK or manual? Is there drone from 2200 to 2800 or so?
Hello gman3280,
Our development car is a 2009 Cayman S with the PDK transmission. During development we were all acutely aware of what I refer to as "the drone zone" on the Cayman platform. I am happy to report that with the valves closed between 2,200 and 2,800 RPM there is minimal drone in the cabin with the windows up or the windows down.
Even when fitted with the Competition Headers, I am confident enough to state that with the valves closed, no significant other, business client or other passengers will be the wiser to the fact that the car is modified and will have no complaints.
With the valves open, you have to specifically try to get the car to drone by holding it at low RPM and high load with the windows up, but understandably it can be done.
Even in auto mode the full exhaust is perfectly livable.
Your products look very nice with good quality.
Having said that I kind of like the sound of the Cayman better in "closed mode". Its nice to have the option to open or close the mufflers.

Thank you for the kind words, Spokayman! We agree, having the option to switch between loud and quiet mode with a large delta between the two is one of the many great things about our exhaust. Being able to slip in/out of the neighborhood and not aggravate the neighbors is a big part of customer satisfaction so we spent a lot of time to make sure that quiet mode is truly quiet!
We have gotten several requests for video of our 987.2 with the stock headers and the Soul Performance Products Valved Exhaust lately. Over the weekend we went ahead and swapped out the headers for their factory counterparts and used the video as an excuse to stand out in the sunshine for a while. We hope you enjoy!
We build and stock our exhaust products ahead of time to keep your car from being down during prime driving season. Everything is in stock - let us know if you have any questions about our headers or Valved Exhaust!
Long Tube Street Headers are in stock and ready to ship along with the rest of our components, please let us know if we can help you take your Porsche to the next level.
Preparation for shipment! We foam pack every product to ensure your Soul products arrive in perfect condition. We work with the foam company to evaluate every product for best shipping practices - how we can fit the products into the smallest appropriate box while providing ample protection. We include installation instructions that are also a packing checklist. Headers are double checked in our fixtures and leak tested prior to shipping. The Long Tube Street Headers include new hardware which you also see. We include a microfiber towel to wipe the exhaust components down after installation to minimize the oils smoking off during your first session.
@supercarsofphiladelphia took our 987.2 S equipped with our Valved Exhaust and Long Tube Street Headers out for a ride with his POV camera. Check it out!
Another happy customer. When we say our systems have minimal drone while cruising given how aggressive they can get when you are driving hard - we mean it.
We have our project 987.2 S currently equipped with our Long Tube Street Headers and Valved Exhaust if anyone would like to hear in person at or around our Willow Grove, PA facility.
