Product Description

The SOUL Bolt-On Exhaust Tips are a direct-fit appearance upgrade for the 2013–2019 Porsche 991.1 and 991.2 911 Turbo / Turbo S, providing a cleaner and more aggressive rear-end appearance without replacing the vehicle's complete exhaust system.

Available in GT2 Style Single Wall and Straight Cut Single Wall designs, both configurations feature SOUL's Signature Satin finish and are engineered to bolt directly to the factory-style exhaust-tip interface.

Installation takes only basic hand tools. SOUL uses Mikalor Supra Heavy-Duty W4 T-bolt clamps to provide even clamping force around the exhaust outlets, while an internal alignment ring allows the tips to be positioned precisely within the rear bumper.

The SOUL tips also provide a modest weight reduction compared with the factory Porsche tips. The GT2 Style set weighs approximately 4.4 lbs, while the Straight Cut set weighs approximately 4.3 lbs, compared with approximately 5.35 lbs for the factory tips.

GT2 STYLE SINGLE WALL

The GT2 Style Single Wall configuration provides the more aggressive of the two available appearances.

The single-wall construction keeps the assembly relatively lightweight while changing the visual character of the rear of the 991 Turbo.

SOUL finishes the tips in its Signature Satin finish for a subdued metallic appearance rather than a highly polished chrome look.

Weight: approximately 4.4 lbs per set

Compared with the approximately 5.35-lb factory tip assembly, the GT2 Style tips save approximately:

0.95 lb / 0.43 kg

This represents roughly an 18% reduction in tip weight.

STRAIGHT CUT SINGLE WALL

The Straight Cut Single Wall configuration provides a simpler, traditional motorsport-inspired appearance.

Rather than the GT2-style shape, the outlets use a cleaner straight termination.

The Straight Cut configuration is also finished in:

Signature Satin

and is slightly lighter than the GT2 Style version.

Weight: approximately 4.3 lbs per set

Compared with the approximately 5.35-lb factory tips, the Straight Cut set saves approximately:

1.05 lbs / 0.48 kg

This represents roughly a 20% reduction in tip weight.

WEIGHT COMPARISON

Factory Porsche Tips:
Approximately 5.35 lbs

SOUL GT2 Style Single Wall Tips:
Approximately 4.4 lbs

Weight Savings:
Approximately 0.95 lb

SOUL Straight Cut Single Wall Tips:
Approximately 4.3 lbs

Weight Savings:
Approximately 1.05 lbs

The weight reduction is modest compared with replacing larger exhaust components, so this product should primarily be viewed as an appearance upgrade with a small secondary weight benefit.

DIRECT BOLT-ON INSTALLATION

SOUL designed these tips to install directly onto the factory-style exhaust interface.

No:

• Cutting

• Welding

• ECU programming

• Exhaust-system modification

is required for normal installation.

SOUL describes installation as taking only minutes with basic hand tools.

INTERNAL ALIGNMENT RINGS

Each exhaust tip incorporates an internal alignment ring.

This gives the installer some positional adjustment before final clamp tightening, allowing the outlets to be properly centered within the rear bumper.

This is particularly useful for achieving:

• Consistent left-to-right positioning

• Even tip projection

• Proper bumper clearance

• Symmetrical appearance

• Final adjustment after exhaust-system installation

The clamps can then be tightened after the desired position is established.

MIKALOR SUPRA HEAVY-DUTY W4 CLAMPS

SOUL supplies Mikalor Supra Heavy-Duty W4 clamps with each set.

These clamps are designed to apply substantial and consistent clamping force around the exhaust connection.

SOUL specifies features including:

• Stainless-steel construction

• High-strength stainless-steel bolt

• Swinging bridge

• Captive nut

• Trunnion-style clamp hardware

• Projection-welded construction

This provides a secure mechanical connection while still allowing the tips to be removed or repositioned later.

SINGLE-WALL CONSTRUCTION

Both SOUL options use a single-wall design.

Compared with a heavier multi-wall decorative exhaust tip, the single-wall construction helps minimize unnecessary mass while retaining a clean finished appearance.

This contributes to both SOUL tip configurations weighing less than the original Porsche tip assembly.

SIGNATURE SATIN FINISH

Both current tip styles are offered in SOUL's Signature Satin finish.

The finish provides a subdued stainless-steel appearance that works well with the 991 Turbo's rear styling without the highly reflective appearance of polished chrome.

There are currently no separate:

• Black

• Polished

• Brushed

• Carbon Fiber

variants shown for this 991 Turbo Bolt-On Tip product.

COMPATIBLE WITH FACTORY EXHAUST

The SOUL tips can be installed on a 991 Turbo retaining its complete factory exhaust system.

This allows owners to change the rear appearance without replacing:

• Catalytic converters

• Rear exhaust

• Mufflers

• Turbochargers

• Engine-management components

For a stock vehicle, this is purely a bolt-on downstream modification.

COMPATIBLE WITH SOUL EXHAUST SYSTEMS

The same tips can also be used with applicable SOUL 991 Turbo exhaust systems using the factory-style tip interface.

This includes compatible configurations of SOUL's:

• X-Pipe Exhaust

• Sport X-Pipe Exhaust

• Competition X-Pipe Exhaust

• Valved Exhaust System

This also explains why the same GT2 Style and Straight Cut options appear throughout the SOUL 991 Turbo exhaust catalog.

COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER AFTERMARKET EXHAUSTS

SOUL specifies compatibility with other aftermarket exhaust systems that accept the factory Porsche exhaust tips.

This means compatibility depends on the downstream exhaust retaining the appropriate factory-style mounting interface.

For an unknown third-party exhaust system, that interface should be verified before ordering.

TURBO S EXCLUSIVE SERIES

These SOUL tips are particularly useful for the 991.2 Turbo S Exclusive Series.

On several SOUL complete 991 Turbo exhaust systems, the Exclusive Series cannot reuse its original Porsche exhaust tips.

SOUL's GT2 Style or Straight Cut tips therefore provide the appropriate SOUL tip solution when fitting those exhaust systems to an Exclusive Series car.

NO ENGINE PERFORMANCE CHANGE

These exhaust tips are installed at the very end of the exhaust system and are intended primarily as an aesthetic modification.

SOUL does not publish a horsepower or torque increase for either tip design.

Installing the tips does not change:

• Turbocharger boost

• Catalyst flow

• Header flow

• ECU calibration

• Oxygen-sensor operation

• Engine-management strategy

DasMotoring therefore does not advertise a horsepower or torque gain from the tips alone.

NO ECU TUNE REQUIRED

No ECU calibration is required.

The exhaust tips do not interfere with:

• Oxygen sensors

• Catalytic-converter monitoring

• Turbocharger control

• Fueling

• Ignition timing

Installation is entirely mechanical.

NO EMISSIONS-SYSTEM CHANGES

Because the modification occurs at the exhaust outlets, the SOUL tips do not remove or replace the vehicle's catalytic converters or emissions sensors.

This distinguishes them from the Cat Bypass Pipes, Sport Catalytic Converters, Competition X-Pipe, and other upstream exhaust components within the SOUL 991 Turbo catalog.

Product Description

The SOUL Sport Headers are a direct bolt-on performance upgrade for the 2013–2019 Porsche 991.1 and 991.2 911 Turbo / Turbo S, engineered to improve exhaust-gas flow into the turbochargers, sharpen boost response, increase usable power throughout the RPM range, and add more character to Porsche's 3.8L twin-turbo flat-six.

The factory turbo header uses a relatively basic double-wall design and incorporates an internal support structure within the center runner that interrupts the exhaust-gas flow path. SOUL replaces this arrangement with a freer-flowing single-wall T304L stainless-steel header built around an optimized 3-into-1 merge collector.

SOUL sizes the header outlet at approximately 1.63 inches inside diameter to transition smoothly into the approximately 1.54-inch factory turbocharger inlet. Combined with optimized runner geometry and internal volume, the design is intended to increase exhaust velocity into the turbochargers and provide noticeably quicker response when the driver requests boost.

In addition to the performance benefits, the single-wall construction allows more of the Turbo's mechanical and exhaust character to be heard, producing a sharper exhaust note, increased turbocharger sound, stronger burbles, and more pronounced pops between shifts and during deceleration without intentionally sacrificing ground clearance or introducing undesirable drone.

• Backed by SOUL Performance Products' Lifetime Warranty for street and track use

OPTIMIZED 3-INTO-1 MERGE COLLECTOR

The factory 991 Turbo manifold must collect the exhaust pulses from three cylinders and direct them into each turbocharger.

SOUL redesigns this transition around an optimized:

3-into-1 merge collector

intended to create a smoother path for exhaust gases entering the turbocharger.

The objective is not simply to use larger tubing. Runner geometry, collector shape, internal volume, and the transition into the turbine inlet all affect how efficiently exhaust energy reaches the turbo.

SOUL developed the Sport Headers around improving this complete flow path.

FACTORY CENTER-RUNNER RESTRICTION

Looking inside the factory header reveals an internal support structure in the middle runner.

That structure sits directly in the exhaust-gas path and interrupts what would otherwise be a smoother transition toward the collector.

SOUL eliminates this obstruction as part of its redesigned header architecture.

The result provides a cleaner path from:

Cylinder Head → Primary Runner → Merge Collector → Turbocharger

with fewer internal disruptions to exhaust flow.

1.63" HEADER OUTLET

SOUL measured the factory turbocharger inlet at approximately:

1.54" inside diameter

The Sport Header outlet is sized to approximately:

1.63" inside diameter

This allows SOUL to maintain the improved flow characteristics of the larger header while creating a smooth transition into the turbocharger inlet.

The design avoids treating the turbocharger flange as an abrupt restriction at the end of the header.

IMPROVED EXHAUST VELOCITY

SOUL developed the runner geometry and collector to increase exhaust velocity into the turbocharger.

On a turbocharged engine, the energy reaching the turbine directly influences how quickly the turbocharger can respond to changes in engine load.

The Sport Header design is intended to provide:

• Faster boost response

• Sharper throttle feedback

• More immediate acceleration

• Improved power delivery throughout the RPM range

• More usable power before the transmission needs to downshift

The difference is intended to be felt as improved response rather than simply represented by a peak horsepower number.

QUICKER BOOST RESPONSE

The combination of:

• Optimized runners

• Improved collector geometry

• Cleaner internal flow

• Larger header outlet

• Reduced internal obstruction

is designed to deliver exhaust energy to the turbochargers more efficiently.

SOUL describes the result as noticeably quicker boost response when the throttle is applied.

This characteristic is particularly useful on the 991 Turbo because improved response can make the car feel stronger during transient acceleration even when the engine is not operating at peak RPM.

SINGLE-WALL VS. FACTORY DOUBLE-WALL CONSTRUCTION

The factory Porsche header uses a double-wall design.

SOUL replaces it with a single-wall stainless-steel design.

Beyond the flow-related changes, the single-wall construction changes how much exhaust and turbocharger sound is transmitted through the system.

The result is a sharper and more mechanical exhaust character.

INCREASED TURBOCHARGER SOUND

The headers sit immediately upstream of the turbochargers, making changes in this area especially noticeable in the Turbo's acoustic character.

SOUL's single-wall construction allows more:

• Turbocharger sound

• Mechanical exhaust character

• Exhaust pulse definition

• Throttle-related sound

to be heard compared with the heavier factory double-wall manifolds.

SHARPER EXHAUST CHARACTER

SOUL specifically developed the headers to increase exhaust tone without creating undesirable acoustic characteristics.

Expect:

• Sharper exhaust tone

• Greater engine presence

• Increased turbocharger sound

• More audible burbles

• Sharper pops between shifts

• More pronounced deceleration events

The degree of these changes will vary based on the rest of the exhaust system and vehicle calibration.

NO INTENTIONAL DRONE PENALTY

A performance header does not need to make the vehicle unpleasant during normal driving.

SOUL specifically states that the additional volume and tonal character were achieved without producing undesirable drone qualities in its development.

Actual cabin sound will still depend substantially on the downstream exhaust configuration.

A vehicle retaining the factory catalysts and rear exhaust will naturally be considerably more subdued than one using:

• Cat Bypass Pipes

• Competition X-Pipe

• Sport X-Pipe

• Valved Exhaust

• Other freer-flowing exhaust components

MAINTAINS GROUND CLEARANCE

SOUL specifically developed the headers while considering clearance on daily-driven vehicles.

The system is intended to improve the header geometry and exhaust flow without sacrificing the underbody ground clearance needed for normal street use.

This is important on lowered 991 Turbos and vehicles that regularly encounter:

• Driveway transitions

• Speed bumps

• Road crowns

• Track curbing

.065-INCH T304L STAINLESS CONSTRUCTION

The Sport Headers are constructed from:

.065-inch-wall T304L stainless steel

The material provides an effective combination of:

• High-temperature durability

• Corrosion resistance

• Structural strength

• Relatively low mass

• Long service life

• Suitability for repeated heat cycling

MANDREL-BENT TUBING

SOUL uses mandrel-bent tubing to maintain the intended internal cross-sectional area through the header runners.

This helps preserve consistent:

• Runner geometry

• Internal diameter

• Exhaust velocity

• Flow characteristics

through the bends leading toward the merge collector.

LASER-CUT FLANGES

The headers use precision laser-cut flanges to maintain accurate cylinder-head and turbocharger interface geometry.

Accurate flange positioning is critical for:

• Exhaust sealing

• Turbocharger alignment

• Fastener alignment

• Installation consistency

• Long-term reliability

BACK-PURGED TIG WELDING

SOUL uses back-purged TIG welding during header fabrication.

The inside of the tubing is protected with shielding gas during welding to reduce oxidation and promote clean, complete weld penetration.

SOUL specifically uses:

ARCAL Prime argon

during this fabrication process.

THICK-GAUGE ALUMINUM FABRICATION FIXTURES

Header fabrication generates substantial localized heat.

SOUL builds the headers in thick-gauge aluminum fixtures, which act as heat sinks during welding.

This helps control:

• Thermal distortion

• Flange movement

• Runner alignment

• Collector positioning

The rigid fixtures also help SOUL maintain consistent dimensional accuracy from one set of headers to the next.

OEM PORSCHE GASKETS INCLUDED

SOUL includes OEM Porsche gaskets with the Sport Headers.

New high-grade installation hardware is also supplied.

This provides the correct sealing components for installation without requiring the installer to reuse old exhaust gaskets.

FIXTURE-TESTED FITMENT

Each finished component is quality checked and tested in a dedicated fixture before shipment.

This verifies:

• Cylinder-head flange alignment

• Turbocharger connection alignment

• Runner geometry

• Overall dimensional consistency

The headers are then foam packed to help protect them during transportation.

DIRECT BOLT-ON INSTALLATION

The Sport Headers are designed as a bolt-on replacement for the factory turbo manifolds.

The package includes:

• Left Sport Header

• Right Sport Header

• High-grade installation hardware

• OEM Porsche gaskets

No permanent chassis modification is required as part of normal installation.

COMPATIBLE WITH FACTORY CATALYSTS

The Sport Headers are positioned upstream of the turbochargers.

They do not themselves replace the downstream catalytic converters.

A customer can therefore install the headers while retaining:

• Factory turbochargers

• Factory catalytic converters

• Factory rear exhaust

for a comparatively conservative first-stage configuration.

WITH SOUL SPORT CATALYTIC CONVERTERS

Pairing the Sport Headers with SOUL Sport Catalytic Converters addresses exhaust flow on both sides of the turbocharger.

Sport Headers:
Improve exhaust flow into the turbochargers

Sport Catalytic Converters:
Reduce restriction after the turbochargers

This creates a more comprehensive catted performance configuration while retaining catalytic converters.

WITH SOUL CAT BYPASS PIPES

For a competition-focused configuration, the Sport Headers can be paired with SOUL Cat Bypass Pipes.

This combination provides:

• Improved pre-turbo exhaust flow

• Optimized merge collectors

• Reduced post-turbo restriction

• No catalytic converters

• Increased turbocharger sound

• Greater overall exhaust presence

Cat Bypass Pipes introduce separate emissions and catalyst-monitoring considerations that do not originate from the Sport Headers themselves.

WITH SOUL X-PIPE EXHAUST SYSTEMS

The Sport Headers can be combined with SOUL's modular 991 Turbo rear exhaust lineup, including:

• X-Pipe Exhaust

• Sport X-Pipe Exhaust

• Competition X-Pipe Exhaust

• Valved Exhaust System

This allows the headers to remain in place as the rest of the vehicle's exhaust configuration evolves.

PERFORMANCE

SOUL states that the optimized header design provides:

• Increased power

• Improved boost response

• Improved throttle response

• More usable power throughout the RPM range

However, the current 991 Turbo Sport Header product page does not publish a controlled before-and-after dyno test or numerical horsepower / torque gain for POR.991T.SH.

DasMotoring therefore does not advertise a specific horsepower or torque increase for this product.

WEIGHT

SOUL's current 991 Turbo Sport Header page does not publish factory or Sport Header weights.

DasMotoring therefore does not advertise a numerical weight-savings figure.

Product Description

The SOUL Cat Bypass Pipes are a direct bolt-on performance upgrade for the 2013–2019 Porsche 991.1 and 991.2 911 Turbo / Turbo S, replacing the restrictive factory catalytic converters with free-flowing 3-inch stainless-steel straight pipes.

Located immediately downstream of the turbochargers, the factory catalytic converters restrict exhaust flow while also suppressing a substantial amount of turbocharger and engine sound. SOUL removes the catalyst assemblies entirely and replaces them with large-diameter, mandrel-bent piping designed to maximize post-turbo exhaust flow.

The result is a dramatic increase in audible turbocharger spool, stronger flat-six exhaust character, increased crackles during deceleration, and improved throttle response.

At approximately 6 lbs, the SOUL Cat Bypass Pipes are approximately 10 lbs / 4.5 kg lighter than the roughly 16-lb factory catalytic-converter assemblies they replace.

• No product variants

• Backed by SOUL Performance Products' Lifetime Warranty for street and track use

COMPLETE CATALYTIC-CONVERTER DELETE

The SOUL Cat Bypass Pipes completely replace the original Porsche catalytic-converter assemblies.

The factory catalysts sit immediately downstream of the turbochargers and create resistance to the exhaust gases leaving the turbine outlets.

SOUL replaces those assemblies with unrestricted straight-through piping, eliminating the catalyst substrate entirely.

This provides:

• Reduced post-turbo restriction

• Greater exhaust-flow capacity

• Increased turbocharger sound

• Stronger engine note

• Improved throttle response

• Reduced exhaust-system weight

• Greater performance potential for modified vehicles

3-INCH EXHAUST PATH

SOUL selected:

3-inch-diameter piping

specifically to maximize exhaust flow and turbocharger sound.

The large-diameter architecture provides additional capacity for vehicles with:

• Factory turbochargers

• ECU tuning

• Increased boost

• Intake upgrades

• Intercooler upgrades

• Turbocharger upgrades

• Freer-flowing rear exhaust systems

• Other supporting performance modifications

For a high-output turbocharged engine, reducing restriction immediately after the turbines becomes increasingly valuable as exhaust mass flow increases.

REDUCED POST-TURBO RESTRICTION

A turbocharger's turbine must discharge exhaust into everything positioned downstream of it.

Restriction after the turbine increases the pressure into which the turbocharger must exhaust.

The factory catalyst substrates are one of the largest restrictions in this section of the 991 Turbo exhaust system.

Removing them provides a substantially more open path for exhaust gases leaving the turbochargers.

The Cat Bypass Pipes are therefore designed to improve the exhaust system's ability to support:

• Increased airflow

• Increased boost

• Higher engine output

• Modified turbocharger configurations

SIGNIFICANTLY MORE TURBO SOUND

Sound is one of the largest changes produced by the Cat Bypass Pipes.

The factory catalysts attenuate much of the sound generated by the Turbo's turbines before it reaches the rear exhaust.

Removing the catalyst substrates allows dramatically more:

• Turbo spool

• Turbo whistle

• Turbine sound

• Boost-related acoustic feedback

• Mechanical turbocharger character

to pass downstream.

SOUL specifically developed the 3-inch design around making the turbochargers considerably more audible.

INCREASED ENGINE NOTE

Removing the catalytic converters also allows significantly more of the 3.8L twin-turbo flat-six exhaust character to pass through the system.

Expect:

• Greater exhaust presence

• More aggressive acceleration sound

• Increased high-RPM intensity

• Stronger throttle-related feedback

• More audible shift events

• Greater deceleration character

The total sound level will depend heavily on which rear exhaust is installed behind the Cat Bypass Pipes.

DECELERATION CRACKLES

SOUL specifically highlights the increase in exhaust crackles during deceleration after removing the factory catalysts.

The freer exhaust path allows more of the engine calibration's existing overrun behavior to be heard.

The amount of crackling will vary with:

• ECU calibration

• 991.1 vs. 991.2 software

• Driving mode

• Rear exhaust configuration

• Other engine modifications

The Cat Bypass Pipes do not themselves create artificial combustion events; they make existing exhaust events considerably more audible.

IMPROVED THROTTLE RESPONSE

SOUL specifically identifies improved throttle response as one of the benefits of removing the restrictive factory catalysts.

Reducing exhaust restriction directly downstream of the turbochargers allows the exhaust system to respond more freely to changing engine load.

This characteristic becomes particularly relevant on tuned vehicles operating at greater airflow and boost levels.

WITH THE FACTORY REAR EXHAUST

The Cat Bypass Pipes can be installed while retaining Porsche's original rear exhaust.

This configuration provides:

• Significantly increased turbocharger sound

• Reduced post-turbo restriction

• Improved throttle response

• Approximately 10 lbs of weight savings

• Retained factory rear exhaust

• Retained factory exhaust-tip appearance

Keeping the factory rear exhaust provides the most restrained overall sound configuration available with these catless pipes.

WITH THE SOUL X-PIPE EXHAUST

Pairing the Cat Bypass Pipes with SOUL's rear X-Pipe creates a substantially more aggressive exhaust system.

The combination provides:

• Catless 3-inch catalyst sections

• 3-inch rear X-pipe architecture

• Proprietary X-pipe mixing chamber

• Quad straight-through race resonators

• Increased turbocharger sound

• Increased flat-six exhaust volume

• Significant rear exhaust-system weight reduction

This component combination corresponds closely to SOUL's complete Competition X-Pipe Exhaust System architecture.

WITH THE SOUL VALVED EXHAUST

The Cat Bypass Pipes can also be combined with SOUL's Valved Exhaust System.

This creates an especially useful configuration for customers who want the flow and sound benefits of a catless exhaust but still want active volume control.

The combination provides:

• Catless catalyst sections

• Reduced post-turbo restriction

• Aggressive valves-open operation

• Quieter resonated valves-closed operation

• Increased turbocharger sound

• Remote valve control

• HomeLink integration capability

This is a considerably more flexible arrangement than combining the Cat Bypass Pipes with a permanently open rear exhaust.

CAT BYPASS PIPES VS. SPORT CATALYTIC CONVERTERS

SOUL Cat Bypass Pipes

• $1,295.00

• Completely catless

• 3-inch straight-through piping

• Approximately 6 lbs

• Saves approximately 10 lbs

• Maximum catalyst-section flow

• Maximum turbocharger sound

• May trigger catalyst-related CELs

• Competition / off-road focused

SOUL Sport Catalytic Converters

• $3,695.00

• Retain high-flow catalysts

• Approximately 11.6 lbs

• Saves approximately 4.4 lbs

• Increased turbocharger sound

• Improved throttle response

• Developed for catalyst-related CEL-free operation

• More conservative catted configuration

The Cat Bypass Pipes are the more aggressive solution for customers prioritizing flow, sound, weight reduction, and competition use.

10-LB WEIGHT REDUCTION

SOUL publishes the following weights:

Factory Catalytic Converter Assemblies:
Approximately 16 lbs / 7.3 kg

SOUL Cat Bypass Pipes:
Approximately 6 lbs / 2.7 kg

Weight Savings:
Approximately 10 lbs / 4.5 kg

That removes approximately:

62.5%

of the weight of the factory catalyst assemblies.

Because this mass is positioned toward the rear of the 911, the reduction is particularly desirable for track-oriented vehicles.

.065-INCH T304L STAINLESS CONSTRUCTION

Each Cat Bypass Pipe is manufactured from:

.065-inch-wall T304L stainless steel

This material provides:

• High-temperature durability

• Corrosion resistance

• Structural strength

• Long service life

• Consistent fabrication characteristics

• Suitability for repeated street and track heat cycling

SMOOTH MANDREL BENDS

SOUL uses smooth mandrel bends to preserve the internal diameter of the tubing as it follows the required exhaust routing.

Maintaining a consistent internal cross-section helps avoid unnecessary restrictions in the post-turbo exhaust path.

THICK WATERJET-CUT FLANGES

The Cat Bypass Pipes use thick waterjet-cut flanges.

These are designed to maintain:

• Proper sealing

• Exhaust alignment

• Dimensional stability

• Durability through repeated thermal cycling

FIXTURE-TESTED FITMENT

Every set is tested in a dedicated fabrication fixture prior to shipment.

This helps verify:

• Flange location

• Pipe geometry

• Downstream exhaust alignment

• Overall dimensional consistency

Following quality control, SOUL foam packs the components to help protect them during shipment.

DIRECT BOLT-ON INSTALLATION

The Cat Bypass Pipes directly replace the factory catalytic-converter assemblies.

SOUL includes:

• Left Cat Bypass Pipe

• Right Cat Bypass Pipe

• Required installation hardware

• Detailed installation instructions

No cutting or welding is required during normal installation.

SOUL describes the installation as suitable for experienced DIY enthusiasts with appropriate tools and mechanical ability.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

Because the Cat Bypass Pipes completely remove the factory catalytic converters, the vehicle's emissions-monitoring system may recognize that catalyst functionality is no longer present.

SOUL explicitly states that this product:

may trigger a check engine light.

DasMotoring therefore does not advertise these pipes as CEL-free.

ECU TUNING

A custom ECU tune is not required for the Cat Bypass Pipes to physically install.

However, SOUL recommends an appropriate custom ECU calibration to address catalyst-related check engine lights on vehicles used for track or competition purposes.

A suitable performance calibration may also take greater advantage of:

• Reduced post-turbo restriction

• Increased exhaust-flow capacity

• Higher boost targets

• Supporting airflow modifications

• Turbocharger upgrades

NO PUBLISHED STANDALONE DYNO FIGURE

SOUL identifies improved throttle response and increased performance potential as benefits of removing the factory catalytic converters.

However, the current Cat Bypass Pipe product page does not provide a controlled factory-catalyst versus Cat-Bypass dyno comparison.

DasMotoring therefore does not advertise a specific horsepower or torque increase from the Cat Bypass Pipes alone.

MODULAR 991 TURBO EXHAUST SYSTEM

The Cat Bypass Pipes work within SOUL's modular 991 Turbo exhaust ecosystem.

They can be combined with:

• Factory rear exhaust

• SOUL X-Pipe Exhaust

• SOUL Valved Exhaust

This allows an owner to upgrade the catalyst and rear exhaust sections independently.

For example:

Cat Bypass + Factory Rear Exhaust

provides increased turbo sound and reduced restriction while retaining the factory rear muffler.

Cat Bypass + SOUL X-Pipe

creates a much more aggressive fixed-volume competition exhaust.

Cat Bypass + SOUL Valved Exhaust

adds active sound control to the catless configuration.

EMISSIONS / COMPETITION USE NOTE

The SOUL Cat Bypass Pipes completely remove the factory catalytic converters.

SOUL states that this product is:

• Not CARB certified

• May not be legal for use on emissions-controlled vehicles

• Intended for off-road / competition use only

Product Description

The SOUL Sport Catalytic Converters are a direct bolt-on performance upgrade for the 2013–2019 Porsche 991.1 and 991.2 911 Turbo / Turbo S, replacing the restrictive factory catalytic converters with premium high-flow catalyst assemblies designed to improve exhaust flow, turbocharger sound, throttle response, and performance while retaining a catted exhaust configuration.

Positioned immediately downstream of the turbochargers, the factory catalytic converters are one of the primary restrictions in the 991 Turbo exhaust system. SOUL's freer-flowing catalysts reduce this restriction while allowing significantly more of the turbochargers' natural spool and turbine sound to pass through the exhaust.

Unlike completely catless bypass pipes, the Sport Catalytic Converters retain catalytic-converter functionality and were specifically developed by SOUL to deliver increased performance without catalyst-related check engine lights under normal operating conditions.

The SOUL assemblies weigh approximately 11.6 lbs compared with 16 lbs for the factory components, reducing exhaust-system weight by approximately 4.4 lbs / 2.0 kg.

HIGH-FLOW CATALYTIC CONVERTERS

The factory catalytic converters are positioned immediately downstream of the 991 Turbo's turbochargers.

This location makes catalyst flow particularly important because the turbine must discharge its exhaust gases directly into the catalyst section.

SOUL replaces the restrictive factory assemblies with premium high-flow catalytic converters designed to reduce post-turbine restriction while maintaining catalysts in the exhaust system.

Potential benefits include:

• Increased exhaust-flow capacity

• Improved throttle response

• Increased turbocharger sound

• Greater performance potential

• Stronger exhaust character

• Retained catalytic converters

• Fewer diagnostic compromises than a completely catless configuration

REDUCED POST-TURBO RESTRICTION

Exhaust restriction downstream of a turbocharger creates pressure against which the turbine must discharge.

Reducing this restriction can improve the overall efficiency of the exhaust path and provide additional flow capacity as engine output increases.

The Sport Catalytic Converters address one of the largest restrictions in the factory system without eliminating the catalysts entirely.

This becomes increasingly valuable as the vehicle receives modifications such as:

• ECU tuning

• Increased boost

• Intake upgrades

• Intercooler upgrades

• Freer-flowing rear exhaust components

• Turbocharger upgrades

INCREASED THROTTLE RESPONSE

SOUL specifically identifies improved throttle response as one of the benefits of the Sport Catalytic Converters.

Reducing restriction immediately after the turbochargers allows the exhaust system to respond more freely as engine load changes.

The improvement can become particularly noticeable when the Sport Cats are paired with additional performance modifications.

INCREASED TURBOCHARGER SOUND

One of the most noticeable changes from replacing the factory catalysts is increased audible turbocharger activity.

Expect more:

• Turbo spool

• Turbine whistle

• Boost-related exhaust sound

• Throttle-related acoustic feedback

• Mechanical turbocharger character

The factory catalyst substrates suppress a substantial amount of this sound before it reaches the rear exhaust.

The freer-flowing SOUL catalysts allow considerably more of it to pass through.

EXHAUST SOUND

The Sport Catalytic Converters also allow more of the 3.8L twin-turbo flat-six exhaust character to reach the rear of the vehicle.

Compared with the factory catalysts, expect:

• Greater turbocharger presence

• More exhaust texture under load

• Stronger acceleration sound

• Increased high-RPM presence

• More audible throttle transitions

• Greater deceleration character

The overall increase in volume will depend heavily on the rear exhaust installed behind the Sport Cats.

WITH THE FACTORY REAR EXHAUST

The Sport Catalytic Converters can be installed while retaining Porsche's original rear exhaust.

This is the most conservative configuration and provides:

• Reduced catalyst restriction

• Increased turbocharger sound

• Improved throttle response

• Retained factory rear exhaust

• Retained factory exterior appearance

• More restrained overall volume than a complete aftermarket exhaust system

This makes the Sport Cats a logical first-stage modification for an otherwise-stock 991 Turbo.

WITH THE SOUL X-PIPE EXHAUST

Pairing these Sport Catalytic Converters with SOUL's rear X-Pipe creates a much more comprehensive catted performance exhaust system.

The combination provides:

• High-flow catalysts

• Full 3-inch rear exhaust architecture

• Proprietary X-pipe mixing chamber

• Quad race resonators

• Increased turbocharger sound

• Increased overall exhaust volume

• Greater rear weight reduction

This combination is effectively the component architecture behind SOUL's complete Sport X-Pipe Exhaust System.

WITH THE SOUL VALVED EXHAUST

The Sport Catalytic Converters can also be paired with SOUL's Valved Exhaust System.

This creates a high-flow catted setup while adding active sound control.

The complete configuration provides:

• High-flow catalytic converters

• Aggressive valves-open exhaust path

• Quieter resonated valves-closed path

• Increased turbocharger sound

• Remote valve control

• HomeLink integration capability

This is particularly attractive for owners who want increased flow without giving up the ability to substantially reduce exhaust volume when desired.

For customers who want improved flow and sound while retaining catalysts, the Sport Catalytic Converters are the more appropriate option.

4.4-LB WEIGHT REDUCTION

SOUL publishes the following weights:

Factory Catalytic Converter Assemblies:
Approximately 16 lbs / 7.3 kg

SOUL Sport Catalytic Converters:
Approximately 11.6 lbs / 5.3 kg

Weight Savings:
Approximately 4.4 lbs / 2.0 kg

That represents approximately a:

27.5% reduction

in the weight of the catalyst assemblies being replaced.

DESIGNED FOR CEL-FREE OPERATION

SOUL specifically developed the Sport Catalytic Converters around increasing flow without creating the catalyst-monitoring problems associated with fully catless pipes.

SOUL describes the product as providing:

Added performance without a check engine light.

For DasMotoring purposes, this should be treated as the manufacturer's intended operating behavior rather than an unconditional guarantee for every vehicle.

Diagnostic behavior can still potentially be influenced by:

• Oxygen-sensor condition

• ECU software

• Vehicle condition

• Additional modifications

• Catalyst condition over time

NO ECU TUNE REQUIRED

SOUL does not specify ECU tuning as a requirement for installation of the Sport Catalytic Converters.

They are designed as a direct bolt-on hardware upgrade.

A performance calibration may still provide additional gains by taking advantage of the increased exhaust-flow capacity, but tuning is not required simply to install the catalysts.

NO PUBLISHED STANDALONE DYNO NUMBER

SOUL describes the Sport Catalytic Converters as providing a significant increase in power along with improved throttle response and sound.

However, the current product page does not publish a controlled factory-catalyst versus Sport-Catalyst dyno comparison.

DasMotoring therefore does not advertise a specific horsepower or torque increase from this product alone.

CURRENT CATALYST SPECIFICATION

SOUL's current product page describes these assemblies as using:

Premium high-flow catalysts

but does not currently publish:

• Catalyst cell count

• Catalyst manufacturer

• Substrate material

• Precious-metal loading

DasMotoring therefore does not advertise any of those specifications unless confirmed for current production.

.065-INCH T304L STAINLESS CONSTRUCTION

Each Sport Catalytic Converter assembly is manufactured from:

.065-inch-wall T304L stainless steel

This provides:

• High-temperature durability

• Corrosion resistance

• Structural strength

• Consistent fabrication characteristics

• Long-term exhaust-system reliability

SMOOTH MANDREL BENDS

SOUL uses smooth mandrel-bent tubing to maintain a consistent internal flow area through the catalyst assemblies.

Maintaining tubing geometry through bends helps avoid unnecessary restrictions downstream of the turbochargers.

THICK EXHAUST FLANGES

The assemblies use substantial exhaust flanges designed to maintain alignment and sealing under repeated thermal cycling.

This is particularly important immediately downstream of the turbochargers, where temperatures can become extremely high.

FIXTURE-TESTED FITMENT

Every set is tested in a dedicated fabrication fixture prior to shipment.

This verifies:

• Flange position

• Exhaust alignment

• Downstream connection geometry

• Overall dimensional consistency

The assemblies are then quality checked and foam packed for shipping.

DIRECT BOLT-ON INSTALLATION

The Sport Catalytic Converters directly replace the factory catalyst assemblies.

SOUL includes:

• Left Sport Catalytic Converter

• Right Sport Catalytic Converter

• Installation hardware

• Detailed installation instructions

No cutting or welding is required during normal installation.

MODULAR 991 TURBO EXHAUST ARCHITECTURE

These Sport Catalytic Converters work particularly well within SOUL's modular 991 Turbo exhaust family.

An owner can combine them with:

• Factory rear exhaust

• SOUL X-Pipe Exhaust

• SOUL Valved Exhaust

allowing the exhaust system to evolve without necessarily replacing every component at once.

EMISSIONS NOTE

Although the Sport Catalytic Converters retain catalytic converters, they replace Porsche's original emissions hardware with aftermarket high-flow components.

SOUL states that this product is not CARB certified and may not be legal for use on emissions-controlled vehicles. SOUL identifies it as intended for off-road use.

Customers are responsible for determining whether their vehicle and complete exhaust configuration comply with applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

Product Description

The SOUL Valved Exhaust System transforms the 2013–2019 Porsche 991.1 and 991.2 911 Turbo / Turbo S from one of Porsche's most subdued performance cars into a true dual-personality exhaust system.

Unlike the factory 991 Turbo exhaust, which is non-valved, SOUL uses a purpose-built dual-path architecture with a full 3-inch primary flow path for maximum sound and performance and a resonated 2-inch secondary flow path for quieter cruising.

With the valves open, exhaust is routed through the larger 3-inch primary path for an aggressive, refined flat-six tone with substantially increased turbocharger presence. Close the valves and exhaust is redirected through the smaller secondary path and oversized resonators, dramatically reducing volume, smoothing exhaust pulses, and suppressing unwanted cabin drone.

Because the factory 991 Turbo does not provide PSE-style exhaust valve controls, SOUL includes an independent Valve Controller Kit. Valve operation can be controlled using the supplied remotes or programmed to compatible HomeLink buttons inside the vehicle.

The system can be configured three ways upstream: retain the factory catalytic converters, add SOUL Competition Cat Bypass Pipes, or add SOUL Sport Catalytic Converters. Customers may also retain the factory tips on most vehicles or select SOUL's T316L stainless-steel Straight Cut or GT2 Style tips.

A TRUE VALVED EXHAUST FOR THE 991 TURBO

The factory 991 Turbo exhaust system is notably different from many Porsche Carrera PSE systems.

The 991 Turbo did not leave the factory with an active exhaust-valve system controlled by a PSE button.

SOUL therefore had to develop an entirely new exhaust-control architecture rather than simply reusing Porsche's existing valve commands.

The system provides two genuinely different exhaust paths:

Valves Open:
Full 3-inch primary flow path

Valves Closed:
Resonated 2-inch secondary flow path

The result is substantially greater control over the vehicle's sound character than a conventional fixed exhaust.

VALVES OPEN

Opening the exhaust valves directs gases through the system's larger:

3-inch primary flow path

This mode is designed to maximize:

• Exhaust-flow capacity

• Turbocharger sound

• Flat-six character

• Exterior volume

• Performance potential

• Throttle-related acoustic feedback

SOUL describes the result as aggressive while still maintaining a more refined character than a simple direct-dump arrangement.

Expect significantly greater:

• Turbo spool

• Turbine whistle

• Acceleration sound

• High-RPM presence

• Shift-related exhaust events

• Deceleration character

VALVES CLOSED

Closing the valves redirects exhaust into the:

2-inch secondary flow path

before routing gases through oversized resonators.

The quieter path was specifically developed to reduce:

• Exterior volume

• Low-RPM cabin presence

• Exhaust drone

• Unwanted exhaust pulses

• Long-distance cruising fatigue

SOUL designed this mode for situations such as:

• Highway driving

• Early-morning starts

• Residential areas

• Long-distance touring

• Low-profile street driving

• Track facilities with strict sound limits

Despite the reduced sound level, SOUL states that the secondary path still offers improved flow compared with the factory muffler.

OVERSIZED SECONDARY RESONATORS

Packaging a useful quiet path inside the rear of a 991 Turbo presents a significant engineering challenge.

Simply reducing the diameter of the secondary tubing was not enough to achieve the sound reduction SOUL wanted.

SOUL therefore routes the smaller secondary piping into oversized resonators.

These resonators work to:

• Suppress overall sound level

• Smooth exhaust pulses

• Reduce undesirable frequencies

• Minimize cabin drone

• Provide a noticeably quieter valves-closed mode

This allows the car to remain civilized without forcing both exhaust modes through the same muffling architecture.

TUNED-LENGTH PRIMARY FLOW PATH

SOUL originally experimented with its more traditional blended X-pipe concept.

However, when combined with the secondary flow path, SOUL found that the X-pipe configuration did not create enough difference in volume between open and closed modes.

The production Valved Exhaust therefore uses a:

Tuned-length primary flow path with a balance pipe

This provides a stronger acoustic distinction between the two valve positions.

BALANCE PIPE

The primary exhaust streams are connected through a balance pipe rather than SOUL's conventional full X-pipe mixing chamber.

This architecture was selected specifically for the Valved Exhaust after multiple prototypes.

It helps produce:

• A more noticeable valves-open sound

• Smoother exhaust character

• Better integration between the two cylinder-bank exhaust streams

• Greater distinction between open and closed modes

MORE REFINED THAN GT2 RS-STYLE DUMP PIPES

A GT2 RS-style exhaust concept routes gases from the catalyst area almost directly toward the rear bumper.

That can produce tremendous volume but also allows considerably more:

• Turbocharger mechanical sound

• Valve-operation noise

• Raw exhaust texture

• Abrupt acoustic behavior

SOUL specifically developed the Valved Exhaust to provide a more refined alternative.

The system still becomes aggressive with the valves open, but without relying on an extremely short direct-dump architecture.

INDEPENDENT VALVE CONTROLLER

Because the factory 991 Turbo exhaust is non-valved, the vehicle does not have the vacuum-control system or factory electronic exhaust-valve infrastructure necessary to operate an aftermarket valved system by itself.

SOUL therefore includes an independent Valve Controller Kit.

This provides direct driver control over valve position.

The exhaust does not rely on Porsche's factory PSE button because the 991 Turbo did not use that system.

REMOTE CONTROL

The included controller provides remote valve operation.

The driver can select between:

Quiet / Valves Closed

and

Aggressive / Valves Open

without changing the underlying vehicle exhaust hardware.

HOMELINK INTEGRATION

SOUL's controller can also be programmed to compatible HomeLink buttons inside the vehicle.

This provides an integrated solution without requiring the driver to keep the supplied remote immediately accessible.

HomeLink can therefore be used to command the exhaust valves from the factory interior controls.

THREE CATALYST CONFIGURATIONS

The Valved Exhaust can be configured with:

Reuse OEM Catalytic Converters

SOUL Competition Cat Bypass Pipes

or

SOUL Sport Catalytic Converters

This makes the system unusually flexible because the same basic valved rear exhaust can serve everything from a relatively mild street car to a highly modified competition-focused Turbo.

REUSE OEM CATALYTIC CONVERTERS

The least expensive and most conservative configuration retains Porsche's original catalyst assemblies.

This configuration provides:

• Full valved-exhaust functionality

• 3-inch valves-open path

• Resonated valves-closed path

• Increased exhaust character

• Increased turbocharger presence

• Retained factory catalysts

• Lowest package price

For customers primarily interested in sound control and exhaust character, this is the logical starting point.

COMPETITION CAT BYPASS CONFIGURATION

The Competition configuration adds SOUL Cat Bypass Pipes and removes the factory catalytic converters.

Benefits include:

• Reduced post-turbo restriction

• Greater turbocharger sound

• Greater exhaust volume

• Increased flow capacity

• Reduced catalyst-section weight

• Greater tuning potential

Because the catalytic converters are removed, this configuration introduces additional emissions and diagnostic considerations.

It is intended for competition / off-road applications where catalyst retention is not required.

SPORT CATALYTIC CONVERTER CONFIGURATION

The Sport configuration replaces the factory catalysts with SOUL's high-flow Sport Catalytic Converters.

This provides a middle ground between the OEM-catalyst and completely catless configurations.

Benefits include:

• Increased catalyst-section flow

• Increased turbocharger sound

• Improved throttle response

• Greater performance potential

• Retained catalytic converters

• More street-oriented operation than the Competition configuration

This is the most comprehensive catted version of the SOUL Valved Exhaust System.

CURRENT SOUL HIGH-FLOW CATALYST DESIGN

Current product data for the Sport Cat configuration identifies a SOUL-designed 300-cell catalyst with a custom-specified precious-metal coating and triple-metal matrix core.

The Sport Cat option should therefore be treated separately from older 991 Turbo exhaust descriptions that referenced earlier catalyst specifications.

3D-PRINTED 316L COMPONENTS

Current product information for the Valved Exhaust also identifies the use of metal 3D-printed 316L stainless-steel sections where the geometry benefits from additive manufacturing.

These complex components allow SOUL to create optimized internal flow paths that would be difficult to reproduce using conventional cut-and-weld fabrication alone.

.065-INCH T304L STAINLESS CONSTRUCTION

The primary fabricated exhaust components use:

.065-inch-wall T304L stainless steel

This provides:

• High-temperature durability

• Corrosion resistance

• Structural strength

• Consistent fabrication

• Long service life

• Suitability for repeated street and track heat cycling

BACK-PURGED TIG WELDING

Current SOUL fabrication specifications use back-purged TIG welding to promote proper weld penetration and minimize oxidation inside the tubing.

This contributes to:

• Strong weld joints

• Cleaner internal surfaces

• Improved durability

• Consistent exhaust-flow paths

EXHAUST TIP OPTIONS

Three tip configurations are available:

Reuse OEM Tips

Signature Satin GT2 Style Single Wall

Signature Satin Straight Cut Single Wall

SOUL's current optional tips are manufactured from T316L stainless steel.

REUSE OEM TIPS

Most standard 991 Turbo and Turbo S vehicles can reuse their original factory exhaust tips.

This provides:

• OEM rear appearance

• Lowest purchase price

• No additional tip cost

The OEM-tip option is available with all three catalyst configurations.

GT2 STYLE SINGLE WALL TIPS

The GT2 Style tips provide a more aggressive motorsport-inspired appearance.

They are manufactured from T316L stainless steel and finished in SOUL's Signature Satin.

STRAIGHT CUT SINGLE WALL TIPS

The Straight Cut tips provide a cleaner and more traditional motorsport-style outlet.

They are also manufactured from T316L stainless steel with SOUL's Signature Satin finish.

TURBO S EXCLUSIVE SERIES

The 991.2 Turbo S Exclusive Series cannot reuse its factory exhaust tips with the SOUL Valved Exhaust System.

Exclusive Series customers must select:

• Signature Satin GT2 Style Single Wall

or

• Signature Satin Straight Cut Single Wall

Do not fulfill an Exclusive Series order using the OEM-tip configuration.

• No active quiet mode

For a catless car that still sees regular street or sound-restricted track use, the Valved Exhaust provides considerably more acoustic flexibility.

PERFORMANCE

SOUL designed the 3-inch primary path and available high-flow catalyst / catless configurations to support increased engine output.

However, the current Valved Exhaust product page does not publish a controlled stock-exhaust versus Valved-Exhaust-only dyno comparison.

DasMotoring therefore does not advertise a specific numerical horsepower or torque increase for the system itself.

WEIGHT

SOUL's current Valved Exhaust product page does not publish a verified system weight or factory-to-SOUL weight comparison.

DasMotoring therefore does not advertise a numerical weight-savings figure for this system.

EMISSIONS NOTE

The emissions characteristics of the system depend on the selected catalyst configuration.

Reuse OEM Cats: retains the factory catalytic converters.

Sport Cats: replaces factory catalyst assemblies with aftermarket high-flow catalysts.

Competition: removes the catalytic converters entirely and is intended for competition / off-road use.

Customers are responsible for determining compliance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

Product Description

The SOUL X-Pipe Exhaust is a direct bolt-on rear exhaust upgrade for the 2013–2019 Porsche 991.1 and 991.2 911 Turbo / Turbo S, designed for owners who want substantially more flat-six and turbocharger sound while retaining the factory catalytic-converter sections.

SOUL replaces the restrictive factory rear exhaust with a full 3-inch T304L stainless-steel X-pipe system featuring a proprietary exhaust-stream mixing chamber and four straight-through race resonators. The result is increased exhaust volume, stronger turbocharger presence, more pronounced pops and burbles on deceleration, and an OEM-plus character while maintaining the factory catalysts upstream.

The quad race resonators are specifically used to control undesirable cabin resonance without placing conventional restrictive mufflers in the primary exhaust path.

At approximately 16.45 lbs without tips, the SOUL X-Pipe is approximately 8.4 lbs / 3.8 kg lighter than the 24.85-lb factory rear exhaust components it replaces.

Owners may reuse the factory exhaust tips on most Turbo and Turbo S applications or select SOUL's Signature Satin GT2 Style or Signature Satin Straight Cut T316L stainless-steel tips.

RETAINS THE FACTORY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS

Unlike SOUL's Competition and Sport X-Pipe systems, this X-Pipe replaces only the rear exhaust section.

The original catalyst assemblies remain installed.

This allows owners to improve:

• Exhaust volume

• Exhaust tone

• Turbocharger sound

• Rear exhaust flow

• Exhaust-system weight

without replacing the factory catalytic converters.

For an otherwise-stock car, this makes the X-Pipe the simplest of SOUL's major 991 Turbo exhaust-system upgrades.

FULL 3-INCH EXHAUST ARCHITECTURE

SOUL uses:

3-inch-diameter tubing

through the X-Pipe system.

The larger exhaust path was selected not only for sound but also to provide additional flow capacity for higher-output cars.

This makes the X-Pipe suitable for vehicles with:

• ECU tuning

• Increased boost

• Intake upgrades

• Intercooler upgrades

• SOUL Sport Catalytic Converters

• SOUL Cat Bypass Pipes

• Turbocharger upgrades

• Other supporting performance modifications

PROPRIETARY X-PIPE MIXING CHAMBER

SOUL developed a dedicated mixing chamber within the X-pipe rather than simply running two isolated exhaust pipes toward the rear of the car.

During development, SOUL analyzed the design in 3D CAD across multiple pressure and temperature conditions and observed a general increase in exhaust velocity downstream of the mixing chamber.

The design is intended to provide:

• Improved exhaust-stream blending

• Reduced backpressure

• Increased downstream exhaust velocity

• Higher-flow capability

• Smoother exhaust character

• Improved sound quality

QUAD RACE RESONATORS

A freer-flowing 3-inch exhaust can easily introduce undesirable low-frequency cabin resonance.

SOUL therefore incorporates:

Four straight-through race resonators

into the X-Pipe.

These use full-metal packing for durability at elevated exhaust temperatures.

The resonators are intended to reduce unwanted frequencies while maintaining a relatively unrestricted primary exhaust path.

This allows the system to provide substantially greater sound without simply becoming an unrefined straight-pipe rear exhaust.

OEM-PLUS SOUND

This X-Pipe is intended to be the more restrained rear-exhaust option within SOUL's 991 Turbo range.

SOUL describes the resulting character as OEM+.

Compared with the stock exhaust, expect:

• Increased cold-start presence

• Greater flat-six engine note

• Stronger turbocharger sound

• Increased exhaust volume under acceleration

• More audible turbine activity

• Increased pops and burbles on deceleration

• More high-RPM character

• Greater cabin involvement

At steady-state cruising speeds, the quad resonators are designed to keep undesirable drone under control.

TURBOCHARGER SOUND

Even with the original catalytic converters retained, reducing downstream muffling allows more turbocharger sound to reach the driver.

Expect increased:

• Turbo spool

• Turbine whistle

• Throttle-related sound

• Boost-related exhaust character

Customers seeking an even greater increase in turbo sound can later pair the X-Pipe with SOUL Sport Catalytic Converters or Cat Bypass Pipes.

DECELERATION POPS & BURBLES

The freer-flowing rear exhaust makes the engine's existing overrun behavior substantially easier to hear.

Expect more audible:

• Pops

• Crackles

• Burbling

• Shift-related exhaust events

The amount will depend on:

• 991.1 vs. 991.2 calibration

• Driving mode

• ECU software

• Catalyst configuration

• Other engine modifications

The exhaust itself does not create artificial combustion events.

RETAINS FACTORY CATALYST MONITORING

Because this X-Pipe leaves the factory catalytic converters and their associated emissions-monitoring architecture in place, it does not create the same catalyst-delete concerns as SOUL's Competition X-Pipe.

No ECU calibration is required simply to install the rear X-Pipe.

DasMotoring does not claim that any modification can guarantee the absence of diagnostic faults on every vehicle, but this product does not itself remove the catalysts.

8.4-LB WEIGHT REDUCTION

SOUL's current published weights are:

Factory Rear Exhaust Components:
approximately 24.85 lbs

SOUL X-Pipe Exhaust:
approximately 16.45 lbs

Weight Savings:
approximately 8.4 lbs / 3.8 kg

These measurements are stated without exhaust tips.

That represents approximately a:

34% reduction

in the weight of the rear exhaust components being replaced.

T304L STAINLESS CONSTRUCTION

The main exhaust system is manufactured from:

Mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel

with:

3-inch diameter tubing

and:

.065-inch wall thickness

This provides a balance of:

• High-temperature durability

• Corrosion resistance

• Structural strength

• Low mass

• Consistent internal geometry

• Long service life

FULL-METAL RESONATOR PACKING

SOUL's straight-through resonators use full-metal packing material.

This is particularly appropriate on a turbocharged vehicle because exhaust temperatures can remain elevated during extended high-load or track use.

The construction is intended to provide long-term acoustic performance without significantly obstructing exhaust flow.

LASER-CUT MOUNTING BRACKETS

SOUL uses laser-cut mounting brackets to maintain consistent exhaust positioning.

Each completed system is fixture-tested prior to shipment to verify:

• Mounting alignment

• X-pipe position

• Exhaust-tip positioning

• Chassis clearance

• Overall dimensional consistency

EXHAUST TIP OPTIONS

Three tip configurations are available.

Reuse OEM Tips

Retains the factory Porsche exhaust outlets for the most factory-like appearance.

Signature Satin GT2 Style Single Wall

A more aggressive motorsport-inspired outlet finished in SOUL's Signature Satin.

Signature Satin Straight Cut Single Wall

A clean straight-cut design for a simple performance appearance.

SOUL's current optional tips are manufactured from T316L stainless steel.

REUSE OEM TIPS

For most Turbo and Turbo S models, the factory tips can be transferred to the SOUL X-Pipe.

This provides:

• OEM exterior appearance

• Lowest purchase price

• No need to purchase additional tip assemblies

Price: $2,995.00

SIGNATURE SATIN GT2 STYLE TIPS

The GT2 Style tips provide a more aggressive visual treatment than the standard Turbo exhaust outlets.

Price: $3,690.00

SIGNATURE SATIN STRAIGHT CUT TIPS

The Straight Cut tips provide a clean, motorsport-inspired appearance.

Price: $3,690.00

TURBO S EXCLUSIVE SERIES NOTE

The 991.2 Turbo S Exclusive Series cannot reuse its original factory exhaust tips with the SOUL X-Pipe.

Exclusive Series customers must select:

• Signature Satin GT2 Style Single Wall

or

• Signature Satin Straight Cut Single Wall

Do not order the OEM-tip configuration for an Exclusive Series vehicle.

MODULAR EXHAUST ARCHITECTURE

One of the strongest advantages of the SOUL 991 Turbo exhaust family is its modularity.

An owner can initially install the rear X-Pipe while retaining the factory catalysts and later add:

• SOUL Sport Catalytic Converters

or

• SOUL Cat Bypass Pipes

without replacing the rear exhaust again.

This allows the exhaust to evolve with the vehicle.

X-PIPE + FACTORY CATALYSTS

This configuration provides the most conservative SOUL X-Pipe setup.

Factory Cats + SOUL X-Pipe

• Retains factory catalytic converters

• Increases rear exhaust flow

• Increases flat-six sound

• Increases turbo sound

• Saves approximately 8.4 lbs

• Retains a comparatively OEM-plus character

• No catalyst removal

This is particularly appropriate for an otherwise-stock or mildly modified street car.

X-PIPE + SOUL SPORT CATALYTIC CONVERTERS

Adding SOUL Sport Catalytic Converters converts the rear X-Pipe configuration into a substantially more comprehensive catted exhaust system.

Benefits include:

• Reduced catalyst restriction

• Increased turbocharger sound

• Increased overall exhaust volume

• Greater performance potential

• Retained catalytic converters

This effectively moves the vehicle toward the hardware configuration represented by SOUL's complete Sport X-Pipe system.

X-PIPE + SOUL CAT BYPASS PIPES

The X-Pipe can also be paired with SOUL Cat Bypass Pipes.

This produces a much more aggressive configuration with:

• No catalytic converters

• Significantly increased turbo sound

• Reduced post-turbo restriction

• Greater exhaust volume

• Additional weight reduction

• Greater emissions and diagnostic considerations

This effectively moves the vehicle toward SOUL's Competition X-Pipe hardware configuration.

X-PIPE VS. SPORT X-PIPE

SOUL X-Pipe Exhaust

• Starts at $2,995

• Rear exhaust only

• Retains existing catalysts

• 3-inch architecture

X-PIPE VS. COMPETITION X-PIPE

SOUL X-Pipe Exhaust

• Starts at $2,995

• Retains factory catalysts

• Approximately 16.45 lbs without tips

• Approximately 8.4 lbs lighter than stock rear components

• More restrained OEM-plus sound

• Street-oriented starting point

SOUL Competition X-Pipe

• Starts at $3,995

• Completely catless

• Approximately 26 lbs as a complete catless system

• Approximately 19 lbs lighter than corresponding factory components

• Greater turbocharger sound

• Greater exhaust volume

• Greater emissions and diagnostic considerations

• Competition-oriented configuration

PERFORMANCE

SOUL designed the X-Pipe around improved exhaust flow and the ability to support increased engine output.

However, SOUL's current product page does not publish a controlled stock-rear-exhaust versus X-Pipe-only horsepower or torque test.

DasMotoring therefore does not advertise a specific numerical power increase from the rear X-Pipe alone.

Product Description

The SOUL Sport X-Pipe Exhaust System is a complete catted performance exhaust system for the Porsche 991.1 and 991.2 911 Turbo / Turbo S, engineered to increase exhaust flow, turbocharger sound, flat-six character, and performance potential while retaining high-flow catalytic converters and refined street manners.

SOUL combines large-diameter 3-inch T304L stainless-steel tubing, upgraded high-flow catalytic converters, a proprietary X-pipe mixing chamber, and four straight-through race resonators into a complete turbo-back exhaust solution.

The upgraded catalysts reduce post-turbo restriction while allowing substantially more turbocharger and engine sound to pass through the exhaust. Farther downstream, SOUL's X-pipe blends the exhaust streams from both cylinder banks, while quad race resonators target undesirable frequencies and help maintain comfortable cruising behavior.

Compared with the roughly 45-lb factory exhaust components, the SOUL Sport X-Pipe weighs approximately 30.6 lbs, reducing rear exhaust-system mass by approximately 14.4 lbs / 6.5 kg.

For customers wanting improved flow and sound while retaining catalytic converters, the Sport X-Pipe provides a more street-oriented alternative to SOUL's catless Competition X-Pipe.

COMPLETE CATTED PERFORMANCE EXHAUST

Unlike SOUL's standalone rear X-Pipe Exhaust, the Sport X-Pipe is a complete system that also replaces the factory catalytic-converter sections.

Unlike the Competition X-Pipe, however, it retains catalytic converters.

This gives the Sport system a useful middle ground between the factory exhaust and a fully catless competition configuration.

The package addresses:

• Factory catalyst restriction

• Rear exhaust restriction

• Exhaust-stream separation

• Turbocharger sound attenuation

• Excess rear exhaust-system weight

• Unwanted exhaust resonance

while still maintaining catalytic converters.

HIGH-FLOW CATALYTIC CONVERTERS

The factory catalytic converters sit directly downstream of the turbochargers and create a meaningful restriction in the exhaust system.

SOUL replaces these sections with large, high-flow catalyst assemblies intended to increase available exhaust flow while maintaining catalyst functionality.

Benefits include:

• Reduced post-turbo restriction

• Increased exhaust-flow capacity

• Increased turbocharger sound

• Stronger exhaust character

• Increased performance potential

• Retained catalytic converters

• Reduced diagnostic concerns compared with catless exhaust systems

SOUL specifically developed this system around providing additional performance without catalyst-related check engine lights under normal conditions.

NO PUBLISHED CURRENT CATALYST CELL COUNT

SOUL's current product information describes the system as using upgraded, high-flow catalytic converters but does not currently publish a catalyst cell count or identify a specific catalyst supplier.

DasMotoring therefore does not advertise a catalyst cell count for current-production systems.

FULL 3-INCH EXHAUST ARCHITECTURE

SOUL selected:

3-inch-diameter tubing

because supporting increased power was a major goal of the system.

The larger exhaust path provides additional capacity for:

• Factory turbochargers

• ECU tuning

• Increased boost pressure

• Intake upgrades

• Intercooler upgrades

• Turbocharger upgrades

• Higher-output engine builds

This makes the Sport X-Pipe appropriate not only for otherwise-stock vehicles but also for cars expected to receive additional performance modifications.

PROPRIETARY X-PIPE MIXING CHAMBER

SOUL developed a purpose-built mixing chamber within the X-pipe rather than simply keeping the two exhaust banks separated.

During development, SOUL used 3D CAD analysis across a range of pressure and temperature conditions and observed a general increase in exhaust velocity downstream of the mixing chamber.

The resulting architecture is intended to improve:

• Exhaust-stream blending

• Exhaust velocity

• Flow characteristics

• Backpressure reduction

• High-power exhaust capacity

• Sound quality

The X-pipe also gives the Turbo a more cohesive flat-six exhaust tone than a completely isolated dual-exhaust arrangement.

QUAD STRAIGHT-THROUGH RACE RESONATORS

Increasing exhaust flow and removing factory muffling can easily introduce undesirable cabin resonance.

SOUL therefore incorporates:

Four straight-through race resonators

into the Sport X-Pipe system.

The resonators use a full-metal packing design intended to withstand sustained high exhaust temperatures.

They help:

• Reduce cabin drone

• Smooth undesirable frequencies

• Refine exhaust tone

• Preserve comfortable cruising behavior

without forcing the main exhaust stream through highly restrictive conventional mufflers.

SOPHISTICATED STREET SOUND

SOUL designed the Sport X-Pipe to provide a more mature increase in sound than its catless Competition X-Pipe.

During normal cruising, expect:

• Mild but clearly increased exhaust presence

• More audible turbocharger activity

• Refined flat-six tone

• Minimal undesirable drone

• Comfortable long-distance operation

Under heavier throttle, the character becomes substantially more aggressive.

Expect:

• Greater exhaust volume

• Strong turbo wail

• Increased flat-six presence

• Sharper high-RPM character

• Increased pops and burbles during deceleration

• More dramatic throttle-related sound

The Sport X-Pipe is intended to provide a meaningful sound upgrade without making the car excessively loud during normal cruising.

TURBOCHARGER SOUND

High-flow catalytic converters allow more of the turbochargers' natural sound to pass downstream.

Compared with the factory exhaust, expect more:

• Turbo spool

• Turbine whistle

• Turbocharger mechanical character

• Throttle-related feedback

• Exhaust texture under boost

The combination of reduced catalyst restriction and freer rear exhaust architecture makes the turbocharged nature of the 991 Turbo considerably more apparent.

DECELERATION POPS & BURBLES

SOUL specifically notes increased pops and burbles during throttle lift and deceleration.

The exhaust itself does not manufacture artificial combustion events.

Instead, the freer-flowing catalyst and exhaust architecture allows more of the engine calibration's existing overrun behavior to be heard.

Driving mode, ECU calibration, and other engine modifications will influence the amount of this behavior.

NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DESIGN INTENT

One of the primary differences between this system and the Competition X-Pipe is retention of high-flow catalytic converters.

SOUL specifically developed the Sport X-Pipe to provide:

Added performance without a check engine light.

DasMotoring treats this as the manufacturer's intended operating behavior rather than an unconditional guarantee for every modified or high-mileage vehicle.

Diagnostic behavior can still be influenced by:

• Oxygen-sensor condition

• ECU software

• Vehicle condition

• Additional modifications

• Catalyst condition

NO ECU TUNE REQUIRED

SOUL does not specify ECU calibration as a requirement for installing the Sport X-Pipe.

The system is designed to operate as a bolt-on hardware upgrade.

An ECU tune may provide additional performance by taking advantage of the increased exhaust-flow capacity, but one is not required simply to install the system.

MODULAR EXHAUST ARCHITECTURE

SOUL intentionally designed the 991 Turbo exhaust family around modularity.

The Sport X-Pipe allows owners to later:

• Change exhaust-tip styles

• Return to factory catalytic-converter sections

• Convert to SOUL catless sections

This allows the exhaust configuration to evolve with the vehicle rather than requiring replacement of the entire system.

14.4-LB WEIGHT REDUCTION

SOUL publishes the following weights:

Factory Exhaust Components:
Approximately 45 lbs / 20.4 kg

SOUL Sport X-Pipe Exhaust:
Approximately 30.6 lbs / 13.9 kg

Weight Savings:
Approximately 14.4 lbs / 6.5 kg

That represents approximately a:

32% reduction

in the weight of the exhaust components being replaced.

Because this mass is concentrated at the rear of the 911, reducing it is particularly desirable.

T304L STAINLESS CONSTRUCTION

The main exhaust is constructed from:

Mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel

with:

3-inch diameter tubing

and:

.065-inch wall thickness

This provides a balance of:

• High-temperature durability

• Corrosion resistance

• Structural strength

• Relatively low weight

• Consistent exhaust geometry

• Long-term reliability

FULL-METAL RESONATOR PACKING

SOUL uses straight-through race resonators with full-metal packing rather than conventional packing materials that may degrade more quickly under sustained high exhaust temperatures.

This is particularly appropriate for a turbocharged application where exhaust-system temperatures can remain elevated during repeated high-load use.

LASER-CUT BRACKETS

The exhaust incorporates laser-cut brackets for consistent mounting geometry.

Each system is built and checked in a dedicated fixture prior to shipment to help ensure correct:

• Exhaust alignment

• Tip positioning

• Catalyst positioning

• Chassis clearance

• Mounting-point geometry

EXHAUST TIP OPTIONS

Three configurations are currently available.

Reuse OEM Tips

Retains the original Porsche exhaust outlets for the most factory-like rear appearance.

Signature Satin Straight Cut Single Wall

A clean motorsport-inspired straight outlet manufactured from T316L stainless steel and finished in SOUL's Signature Satin.

• Signature Satin GT2 Style Single Wall

This fitment restriction should be confirmed before fulfilling the order.

SPORT X-PIPE VS. COMPETITION X-PIPE

SOUL Sport X-Pipe

• Starts at $6,295

• Retains high-flow catalytic converters

• Full 3-inch architecture

• Proprietary X-pipe mixing chamber

• Quad race resonators

• Approximately 30.6 lbs

• Saves approximately 14.4 lbs

• Developed for catalyst-related CEL-free operation

• Sophisticated increase in sound

• Better suited to street-driven vehicles

SOUL Competition X-Pipe

• Starts at $3,995

• Completely catless

• Full 3-inch architecture

• Proprietary X-pipe mixing chamber

• Quad race resonators

• Approximately 26 lbs

• Saves approximately 19 lbs

• Greater turbocharger sound

• Greater exhaust volume

• Greater diagnostic and emissions considerations

• More competition-oriented configuration

The Sport X-Pipe sacrifices approximately 4.6 lbs of additional weight savings compared with the Competition system in exchange for retaining catalytic converters.

SPORT X-PIPE VS. REAR X-PIPE EXHAUST

SOUL's standalone rear X-Pipe Exhaust retains the vehicle's existing factory catalytic converters.

The Sport X-Pipe instead includes upgraded high-flow catalytic-converter sections as part of the complete package.

Sport X-Pipe

• High-flow catalysts included

• Complete catted exhaust system

• Addresses catalyst and rear exhaust restriction

• Greater turbocharger sound than retaining factory catalysts

• Approximately 14.4 lbs lighter than the corresponding factory system

Rear X-Pipe Exhaust

• Retains existing factory catalyst sections

• Lower purchase price

• Rear-exhaust upgrade only

• Approximately 8.4 lbs lighter than the factory rear exhaust components

The Sport X-Pipe is the more comprehensive catted performance system.

PERFORMANCE

SOUL designed the 3-inch piping, high-flow catalysts, and X-pipe architecture to improve flow and support substantial horsepower.

However, SOUL's current product page does not provide a controlled stock-exhaust versus Sport X-Pipe dyno comparison.

DasMotoring therefore does not advertise a specific horsepower or torque gain for this product alone.

EMISSIONS NOTE

The Sport X-Pipe retains catalytic converters but replaces the factory Porsche catalyst assemblies with aftermarket high-flow components.

The system is not represented here as an original-equipment emissions component.

Customers are responsible for determining whether their vehicle and complete exhaust configuration comply with applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

Product Description

The SOUL Competition X-Pipe Exhaust System is a complete catless performance exhaust system for the Porsche 991.1 and 991.2 911 Turbo / Turbo S, engineered for maximum exhaust flow, substantial weight reduction, increased turbocharger sound, and a dramatically more aggressive flat-six exhaust note.

SOUL developed the Competition system around full 3-inch T304L stainless-steel piping, a proprietary X-pipe mixing chamber, and four straight-through race resonators. The X-pipe blends the opposing exhaust streams to improve flow characteristics and produce a smoother, more refined exhaust note, while the quad resonators reduce undesirable drone without introducing the restriction of conventional mufflers.

The Competition configuration removes the factory catalytic converters, substantially reducing post-turbo exhaust restriction and allowing significantly more turbocharger and engine sound to reach the driver.

At approximately 26 lbs, the SOUL Competition X-Pipe weighs approximately 19 lbs / 8.6 kg less than the roughly 45-lb factory exhaust components it replaces.

Owners may reuse the factory exhaust tips on most Turbo and Turbo S applications or select SOUL's Signature Satin Straight Cut or Signature Satin GT2 Style T316L stainless-steel tips.

COMPLETE CATLESS COMPETITION EXHAUST

The Competition X-Pipe is considerably more aggressive than a conventional rear muffler replacement.

This system removes the factory catalytic converters as part of the complete exhaust configuration.

Eliminating the catalysts reduces one of the largest restrictions immediately downstream of the turbochargers and provides:

• Reduced post-turbine backpressure

• Greater exhaust-flow capacity

• Increased turbocharger sound

• Greater engine character

• Increased tuning potential

• Reduced exhaust-system weight

• Significantly increased overall volume

This is SOUL's competition-oriented configuration for owners prioritizing flow, sound, and performance rather than emissions equipment retention.

FULL 3-INCH EXHAUST ARCHITECTURE

Supporting increased power was a major consideration during SOUL's development process.

The system therefore uses:

3-inch-diameter exhaust tubing

through the performance exhaust architecture.

This large flow path helps accommodate the exhaust mass flow associated with:

• Factory turbochargers

• ECU tuning

• Increased boost

• Intake upgrades

• Intercooler upgrades

• Turbocharger upgrades

• Higher-output engine combinations

The 3-inch architecture makes the system particularly appropriate for vehicles expected to progress beyond stock output.

PROPRIETARY X-PIPE DESIGN

SOUL experimented with a mixing chamber during development of the 991 Turbo exhaust.

Using 3D CAD analysis across a range of pressure and temperature conditions, SOUL observed a general increase in exhaust velocity downstream of its mixing chamber.

The resulting proprietary X-pipe is designed to provide:

• Improved exhaust-stream blending

• Reduced backpressure

• Improved exhaust velocity

• Greater high-horsepower flow capacity

• Smoother exhaust character

• Improved sound quality

Rather than keeping the left and right banks completely isolated, the X-pipe allows the two exhaust streams to interact before exiting the vehicle.

QUAD RACE RESONATORS

A completely catless 3-inch Turbo exhaust can easily become excessively harsh or develop objectionable cabin resonance.

SOUL therefore incorporates:

Four straight-through race resonators

into the Competition X-Pipe.

The resonators use a full-metal packing design selected for durability under sustained high exhaust temperatures.

Their purpose is to reduce undesirable frequencies without significantly restricting the primary exhaust path.

This helps provide:

• Reduced drone

• Smoother overall sound

• More refined exhaust character

• Straight-through exhaust flow

• High-temperature durability

The Competition system remains a very aggressive exhaust, but the resonators prevent it from simply becoming an uncontrolled straight-pipe configuration.

NON-VALVED PERFORMANCE DESIGN

The Competition X-Pipe is a non-valved exhaust system.

It does not provide a dedicated valves-closed quiet route like SOUL's Valved Exhaust System.

The freer-flowing Competition exhaust path is therefore active continuously.

Vehicle drive modes can still affect engine behavior, throttle calibration, transmission behavior, and factory-generated burbles, but they do not convert this exhaust into a separate quiet flow path.

Customers wanting active exhaust-volume control should consider SOUL's Valved Exhaust System instead.

SOUND CHARACTER

SOUL developed the Competition X-Pipe to deliver significantly more of the 991 Turbo's engine and turbocharger character.

Expect:

• Dramatically increased exhaust volume

• Significantly more turbo spool

• More audible turbine sound

• Greater flat-six presence

• Stronger full-throttle character

• Increased acceleration sound

• More aggressive high-RPM exhaust note

• Pronounced crackles during throttle lift

• Increased burbles during deceleration

• More exhaust presence inside the cabin

Despite the increased volume, SOUL specifically engineered the quad race resonators to keep the tone refined rather than excessively harsh.

COMFORT MODE BEHAVIOR

SOUL notes that the vehicle's Comfort-oriented calibration reduces the amount of burbling and crackling compared with more aggressive driving modes.

This provides some variation in character through the vehicle's engine and transmission programming even though the Competition X-Pipe itself is not valved.

The exhaust will remain considerably more audible than stock in all modes.

TURBOCHARGER SOUND

Removing the factory catalytic converters makes a substantial difference in audible turbocharger activity.

The catalyst substrates normally suppress much of the:

• Turbo spool

• Turbine whistle

• Mechanical turbocharger character

before those sounds reach the rear of the vehicle.

The Competition X-Pipe removes that attenuation, allowing substantially more turbocharger sound to reach the cabin and surrounding environment.

POST-TURBO BACKPRESSURE REDUCTION

Reducing restriction after a turbocharger can improve the environment into which the turbine discharges.

The Competition system removes the factory catalyst substrates and replaces the restrictive factory exhaust architecture with large 3-inch piping.

This provides additional exhaust-flow capacity for both stock and modified cars.

The benefit becomes increasingly important as:

• Boost pressure increases

• Airflow increases

• Engine output increases

• Turbochargers are upgraded

DYNO-TESTED HIGH-POWER CAPABILITY

SOUL performed third-party Mustang Dyno testing at R/T Tuning with the Competition X-Pipe already installed.

The vehicle produced:

542 whp / 629 lb-ft

with the SOUL Competition X-Pipe and baseline calibration.

Adding a:

COBB Accessport base map

increased output to approximately:

581 whp / 733 lb-ft

A subsequent:

Custom Protune

produced approximately:

606 whp / 749 lb-ft

These results demonstrate the Competition X-Pipe's ability to support substantial power and torque as ECU calibration becomes more aggressive.

IMPORTANT DYNO CONTEXT

The published dyno session is not an exhaust-only before-and-after test.

The SOUL Competition X-Pipe was already installed for the 542 whp / 629 lb-ft baseline pull.

The progression was:

SOUL Competition X-Pipe + baseline calibration:
542 whp / 629 lb-ft

SOUL Competition X-Pipe + COBB base map:
581 whp / 733 lb-ft

SOUL Competition X-Pipe + custom Protune:
606 whp / 749 lb-ft

The data therefore demonstrates that the exhaust can support a high-output tuned configuration, but it does not establish a standalone horsepower or torque gain from the exhaust itself.

DasMotoring does not advertise a numerical Competition X-Pipe-only horsepower gain.

ECU TUNING

An ECU tune is not required for the exhaust system to physically bolt onto the vehicle.

However, because the Competition system removes the factory catalytic converters, catalyst-monitoring faults are likely.

An appropriate closed-course ECU calibration can:

• Address catalyst-related diagnostic faults

• Take greater advantage of reduced exhaust restriction

• Optimize higher boost targets

• Support additional airflow modifications

• Improve overall tuned performance

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

Because the Competition X-Pipe removes the catalytic converters, SOUL states that a check engine light is likely on a vehicle retaining normal catalyst monitoring.

This distinguishes the Competition system from SOUL's catted Sport X-Pipe Exhaust System.

Customers using the Competition exhaust on a closed-course vehicle should plan accordingly when determining the vehicle's calibration.

19-LB WEIGHT REDUCTION

SOUL publishes the following weights:

Factory Exhaust Components:
Approximately 45 lbs / 20.4 kg

SOUL Competition X-Pipe Exhaust:
Approximately 26 lbs / 11.8 kg

Weight Savings:
Approximately 19 lbs / 8.6 kg

That represents approximately a:

42% reduction

in the mass of the components being replaced.

Because the majority of this exhaust hardware sits behind the rear axle, the reduction is particularly useful on a rear-engined 911.

T304L STAINLESS EXHAUST CONSTRUCTION

The main exhaust assembly is manufactured from:

Mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel

with:

3-inch diameter tubing

and:

.065-inch wall thickness

This construction provides:

• High-temperature durability

• Corrosion resistance

• Structural strength

• Consistent exhaust geometry

• Long service life

• Suitability for repeated track use

T316L STAINLESS-STEEL EXHAUST TIPS

SOUL's current optional exhaust tips are manufactured from T316L stainless steel.

T316L provides excellent corrosion resistance and is well suited to visible exhaust components exposed to:

• Heat

• Condensation

• Road debris

• Moisture

• Environmental contamination

Customers may alternatively retain the factory exhaust tips where compatible.

TIP OPTIONS

Three configurations are currently available:

Reuse OEM Tips

Retains the factory Porsche exhaust outlets for an OEM exterior appearance.

911 TURBO S EXCLUSIVE SERIES

The 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series cannot reuse its factory exhaust tips with this system.

Exclusive Series customers must select one of SOUL's compatible tip configurations:

• Signature Satin Straight Cut Single Wall

• Signature Satin GT2 Style Single Wall

This restriction should be confirmed when ordering for an Exclusive Series vehicle.

The Competition X-Pipe is designed as a direct bolt-on system.

COMPETITION X-PIPE VS. SPORT X-PIPE

Competition X-Pipe

• Starts at $3,995

• Completely catless

• Full 3-inch architecture

• Quad race resonators

• Approximately 26 lbs

• Saves approximately 19 lbs

• Maximum turbo sound

• Maximum exhaust volume

• Greater catalyst-related diagnostic considerations

• Competition-oriented configuration

Sport X-Pipe

• Retains performance catalytic converters

• Full performance X-pipe architecture

• Quad race resonators

• More street-oriented

• Lower likelihood of catalyst-related diagnostic faults

• More exhaust-system weight due to catalysts

• Higher purchase price

The Competition X-Pipe is the more aggressive choice for vehicles where retaining catalytic converters is not required.

COMPETITION X-PIPE VS. REAR X-PIPE EXHAUST

SOUL also offers a standalone rear X-Pipe Exhaust that retains the existing catalyst assemblies.

The Competition X-Pipe differs by combining the freer-flowing rear exhaust architecture with catalyst removal.

This provides:

• Greater overall exhaust-flow potential

• Greater turbocharger sound

• Greater weight reduction

• More aggressive exhaust character

while introducing the emissions and diagnostic considerations associated with removing the factory catalytic converters.
