Soul Performance Valved Side-Muffler Bypass Pipes for 997 Porsche 911 GT3 / GT3 RS

Soul Performance Valved Side-Muffler Bypass Pipes for 997 Porsche 911 GT3 / GT3 RS

By shedding 35 pounds and minimizing heat soak, your GT3 will experience enhanced performance, along with an exhilarating exhaust note, all while preserving the functionality of the valves.

Development & Testing

• By eliminating the side mufflers, significant weight reduction is achieved, aiding in efficient heat management within the engine bay and maintaining lower temperatures for the rear tires. The opening leading to the secondary pipe is enlarged to ensure equalized pressure in the center muffler, contributing to its longevity. Flex bellows allow for convenient installation and enhance durability, particularly in intense racing scenarios, similar to the original equipment manufacturer components. Additionally, large 3″ diameter primary piping enhances flow, while the valves function with the same high quality as the factory ones.

Construction

• Maximum durability is ensured in each set through the utilization of mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel tubing, with a wall thickness of 0.065 inches, and the inclusion of high-quality flex bellows.

Sound

• The sound exhibits a smoother transition between open and closed states than a center muffler bypass. When the valves are closed, the tone experiences a moderate increase while maintaining a comfortable sound level when the factory center muffler is installed. Opening the valves uncovers a sophisticated, exotic pitch that perfectly complements the powerful GT3 engine’s high-performance nature.

Bolt On & Go

• After undergoing meticulous testing in a fixture to guarantee an impeccable fit, each exhaust system is carefully packaged in foam to ensure its pristine condition upon arrival. It arrives ready for installation without the need for any cutting or modification.

• Weighs 35.4lbs / 16kg less than factory exhaust components (44.9lbs vs 9.5lbs)
• Designed and built in-house at Soul’s Willow Grove, PA facility
