The SOUL Sport Side Mufflers are designed for Porsche 997.1 Carrera owners who want a noticeably more engaging flat-six exhaust note while maintaining the refinement expected from a street-driven 911. Rather than chasing maximum volume, SOUL developed these mufflers to emphasize the mechanical character and tone of the naturally aspirated engine without introducing excessive rasp or highway drone.
During moderate and aggressive throttle, the Sport Side Mufflers increase exhaust volume and allow significantly more of the flat-six character to come through. During steady-speed cruising and light-throttle driving, SOUL's proprietary mufflers maintain a refined, OEM+ cabin presence designed for comfortable everyday use.
SOUL developed the Sport Side Mufflers alongside its high-flow Sport Catalytic Converters, allowing the system to remain controlled even when additional exhaust restriction is removed upstream. This makes the mufflers particularly well suited for owners who want to progressively upgrade the complete exhaust system without ending up with an excessively harsh or raspy combination.
The complete SOUL muffler assembly weighs approximately 29.7 lbs, compared with approximately 34.8 lbs for the factory exhaust components, reducing weight by approximately 5.1 lbs / 2.3 kg.

The SOUL Sport Side Mufflers are designed around sound quality rather than maximum volume.
Under moderate and aggressive throttle, the system emphasizes the mechanical tone and naturally aspirated character of the 997.1 flat-six. During steady cruising, the proprietary mufflers provide a more restrained OEM+ presence while helping prevent the drone and harsh rasp that can occur with more aggressive muffler designs.
SOUL specifically developed these mufflers with high-flow catalytic converters in mind, making them a strong choice for owners who want additional exhaust volume without turning the car into an overly loud street setup.
The SOUL Sport Side Mufflers can be used on 997.1 Carrera models originally equipped with either the standard exhaust or factory Porsche Sport Exhaust.
Base Carrera models and vehicles converting from factory PSE must use SOUL exhaust tips for proper fitment.
To eliminate fitment ambiguity, this DasMotoring listing includes SOUL exhaust tips rather than relying on the customer's existing factory tips.
This DasMotoring listing includes SOUL Polished Chrome exhaust tips.
To keep ordering simple and ensure compatibility across the 997.1 Carrera range, alternate tip options are not offered through the standard product dropdowns.
If you would like another available SOUL tip finish, contact DasMotoring before ordering and we can confirm availability and pricing.
