SOUL Performance has developed the 991.1 Carrera Valved Performance Exhaust System with the needs of professional enthusiasts in mind. When the valves are open, the exhaust gases can escape through unobstructed pathways, creating a captivating symphony from the flat six engine bound to elicit an exhilarating response. Whether in route to meet a client or embarking on a special dinner outing, keeping the valves closed allows for a refined and subdued tone, complemented by the effective performance of the factory side mufflers. If concerns arise regarding drone on a PDK-equipped car, this exhaust system is designed to alleviate such worries. Numerous owners of the 991.1 Carrera have expressed dissatisfaction with the sound and performance delivered by their sport exhaust system, finding it lacking in impact. In response, SOUL Performance set out to create an exhaust system that embodies a true Jekyll and Hyde personality, perfectly matching the Carrera’s persona. This car disguises its power behind an unassuming facade. The primary objective was to design a system that ensures a straight flow path for the exhaust gases when the valves are open. To achieve this, Soul Performance employed a larger tubing diameter, implemented smooth radius bends, and incorporated an X-pipe crossover with optimized flow characteristics. These enhancements significantly improve throttle response and overall performance compared to the restrictive factory sport exhaust, thanks to improved exhaust scavenging effects and increased volumetric efficiency.

Development & Testing

The objective was to enhance the comfort of everyday driving without compromising the race-inspired tone and straight-through exhaust design. They determined that opting for a larger resonator would not achieve the desired results and would necessitate revisions to accommodate clearances. Such revisions could jeopardize the high-flow design principles of their exhaust system. Furthermore, incorporating higher flowing aftermarket headers, such as their Long Tube Street Headers, into an aggressive rear system without appropriate sound attenuating features could lead to an excessively loud and potentially unpleasant driving experience.
It is crucial for customers who have combined an upgraded rear exhaust with headers to carefully consider this configuration and ensure that the exhaust system is engineered appropriately. To effectively mitigate unwanted frequencies, Helmholtz resonators (also referred to as anti-drone tubes) can be employed when they are engineered and utilized correctly. In the case of the 991.1 Carrera, an inherent RPM range between 3,000 and 3,500 exists, where the drone can become noticeable when higher flowing exhaust components are added. The objective was to eliminate these undesirable frequencies within that range, while also ensuring a smooth transition from closed to open valves for factory PSE-equipped cars.
The ultimate design they have developed has consistently delivered exceptional results for this particular application, meeting their stringent benchmarks for sound quality and drivability. While the mathematical calculations to create the Helmholtz resonators can be performed, how they are incorporated into the design significantly impacts the overall outcome.

Construction

Every exhaust is meticulously crafted in-house using mandrel bent, thick-walled T304L stainless steel with a diameter of.065 inches. Following the fabrication process, rigorous quality checks are conducted to ensure impeccable standards. To ensure optimal weld penetration and longevity, the exhausts undergo back purged TIG welding, guaranteeing the highest quality of welds.

Sound

The exhaust system produces an aggressive sound as one of its primary benefits. When the valves are open, there is a direct and unrestricted path from the 2.5″ piping to the tips, resulting in a bold and unimpeded flow. However, they have skillfully incorporated additional refinements into the system to match the premium experience that characterizes all things Porsche. The presence of an X-pipe further enhances sound smoothness when the valves are both open and closed. Overall, they are highly satisfied with the results and are confident that you will be too. When the valves are open, the system’s free-flowing nature creates a sound reminiscent of Cup cars, featuring increased volume and a pronounced crackling and burbling effect during deceleration. This system caters to those who desire heightened aggression at the touch of a button. When the valves are closed, the tone remains reasonable and refined, effectively minimizing drone while still allowing the distinctive sound of the flat six engine to be heard.

Bolt On & Go

Every exhaust undergoes thorough testing in a dedicated fixture to ensure impeccable fitment, and it is then carefully foam packed to ensure its pristine condition upon arrival. The package includes comprehensive installation instructions, facilitating a straightforward installation process that can be undertaken by most DIY enthusiasts. Moreover, new high-grade hardware is provided for your convenience. This system seamlessly integrates with the factory PSE controls, ensuring smooth operation. Additionally, it can also be utilized on S/GTS cars that are not equipped with PSE by incorporating a SOUL valve controller kit during installation.

Notes

Installing the valve controller on non-PSE models is a more challenging process compared to PSE equipped vehicles. This is primarily due to the additional requirements of locating and tapping into a power source for wiring purposes, as well as the installation of vacuum lines. These tasks demand extra attention and care during the installation process.

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
