SOUL Performance Center-Muffler-Bypass Exhaust System w/ Black Tips for 997 Porsche 911 GT3 & GT3 RS

SOUL Performance Products’ Porsche 997 GT3 Center Muffler Bypass Exhaust heightens the iconic Mezger flat-six wail by replacing the bulky factory center muffler with a lightweight, free-flowing T304L stainless assembly while preserving day-to-day comfort. Retaining the stock side mufflers and factory valves allows drivers to continue controlling volume via the sport button, delivering a richer, more engaging tone in normal driving and a true track-inspired sound when paired with upgraded headers. Mandrel-bent tubing, new brackets, and quality hardware ensure a precise, direct bolt-on fit that sheds approximately 11lb from the rear of the car and maintains excellent reliability. Finished with 3.5″ double-wall black tips that visually fill out the rear valence, the system offers a purposeful, motorsport look to match the sharper exhaust note. Backed by SOUL’s renowned Lifetime Warranty for both street and track use, this center bypass is an ideal upgrade for 997 and 997.2 GT3 / GT3 RS owners seeking more emotion without compromising usability.
