Porsche 997 / 997.2 GT3 / GT3 RS SOUL Modular Competition Exhaust Package
Product Description
The SOUL Modular Competition Exhaust Package is a complete lightweight exhaust solution for Porsche 997 and 997.2 GT3 / GT3 RS owners looking for maximum sound, substantial rear weight reduction, improved heat management, and the flexibility to change the exhaust configuration depending on how the car is being used.
The package combines SOUL's Side Muffler Bypass Pipes, Center Muffler Bypass Exhaust, and bespoke exhaust support brackets into one modular system. Because the side and center sections remain independently removable, owners can easily change between different configurations to increase or decrease exhaust volume without replacing the entire system.
When installed as a complete system, the package eliminates both the heavy factory side mufflers and center muffler. The non-valved configuration saves approximately 49 lbs, while the valved configuration saves approximately 46 lbs from the rear of the vehicle.
Removing the large factory mufflers also reduces heat retention within the rear of the car and helps limit heat soak around the engine compartment and rear tires during aggressive driving and track use.
For drivers who still want control over exhaust volume, the optional valved configuration retains factory Porsche Sport Exhaust button functionality. With the valves closed, exhaust is routed through smaller-diameter piping before entering the expansion chamber of the center muffler bypass, noticeably reducing exterior volume. Open the valves and the system delivers the full aggressive character of a lightweight GT3 competition exhaust.
FITMENT:

No permanent modification required
Individual components can be removed and exchanged to alter the exhaust configuration
Each component is fixture-tested prior to shipment
Components are foam-packed to help prevent shipping damage
Backed by SOUL Performance Products' Lifetime Warranty for both street and track use
MODULAR 3-IN-1 DESIGN:
A major advantage of this system is its modular construction.
The package allows the owner to configure the GT3 exhaust in several different ways depending on the desired sound level:
Complete Modular Competition System
SOUL Side Muffler Bypass Pipes + SOUL Center Muffler Bypass Exhaust for maximum weight reduction and exhaust volume.
SOUL Side Muffler Bypass + Factory Center Muffler
Retains more sound attenuation through the factory center muffler while still eliminating the heavy factory side mufflers.
Factory Side Mufflers + SOUL Center Muffler Bypass
Retains the factory valved side mufflers while removing the factory center muffler for increased sound with greater street refinement.
This makes the package particularly useful for cars that see both street and track use, since the exhaust configuration can be changed without replacing the entire system.
VALVED CONFIGURATION:
The Valved Modular Competition Exhaust Package retains factory Porsche Sport Exhaust button operation.
With the valves closed, 100% of the exhaust is directed through smaller-diameter piping before entering the expansion chamber of the center muffler bypass.
This substantially reduces exterior exhaust volume while retaining the lightweight architecture of the complete system.
With the valves open, the system provides the unrestricted, aggressive sound expected from a competition-focused GT3 exhaust.
SOUL notes that the difference between valve positions is more noticeable outside the vehicle than inside the cabin because the center bypass expansion chamber continues to help manage cabin resonance.
Approximate weight savings: 46 lbs / 20.9 kg
NON-VALVED CONFIGURATION:
The Non-Valved Modular Competition Exhaust Package removes the valve assemblies entirely for the simplest and lightest possible configuration.
This version operates at the aggressive exhaust setting at all times and provides the maximum weight reduction available from the package.
SOUL includes plugs for the factory vacuum lines when installing the non-valved version.
Approximate weight savings: 49 lbs / 22.2 kg
For dedicated track cars or owners who prioritize minimum weight and maximum sound over volume control, the Non-Valved configuration is the more focused option.
SOUND CHARACTER:
With both the factory center and side mufflers removed, the Modular Competition Exhaust Package dramatically increases the presence of the GT3's naturally aspirated flat-six.
Expect:
Significantly increased overall exhaust volume
Much greater mechanical flat-six character
Stronger high-RPM GT3 wail
Increased sound throughout the rev range
A substantially more motorsport-oriented exhaust character
More cabin presence than factory
Despite the extremely free-flowing design, SOUL's center bypass incorporates an expansion chamber intended to reduce unwanted drone and vibration within the cabin.
The final sound level will also depend heavily on the header configuration. Factory headers retain considerably more sound attenuation than SOUL Street or Competition Headers.
HEAT MANAGEMENT:
The factory GT3 side mufflers represent substantial thermal mass positioned close to the engine compartment and rear tires.
Removing the side mufflers reduces both weight and the amount of heat stored in the rear exhaust system.
This is particularly beneficial during extended track sessions, where repeated high-load operation can substantially increase exhaust temperatures and contribute to heat soak around surrounding components and the rear tires.
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT:
When installed with the factory header and catalytic-converter configuration, the SOUL Modular Competition Exhaust Package does not affect the oxygen sensors or catalytic converters.
SOUL states that no check engine lights are associated with installation of this system, as the relevant oxygen sensors remain located within the header assemblies.
If the vehicle is also equipped with aftermarket headers, catalyst-delete components, or other engine-management modifications, diagnostic behavior will depend on those additional components.
EXHAUST TIP OPTIONS:
