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.

Development & Testing

SOUL Performance Products was commissioned to develop a bespoke exhaust system that enhances volume and flow without the need for costly upgraded headers. By retaining the stock side mufflers and valves, this solution allows for sound control using the factory sport button, providing a customizable driving experience. Moreover, this exhaust system seamlessly complements upgraded headers, catering to those seeking the ultimate track setup in terms of power and sound. It is worth noting that this exhaust system is backed by an industry-leading Lifetime Warranty, ensuring peace of mind and confidence when using it on the track. SOUL Performance Products delivers a high-quality and versatile solution that satisfies both performance and sound enthusiasts alike.

Construction

Every system is meticulously crafted using mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel tubing, ensuring durability and optimal exhaust flow. The package includes new brackets and hardware, allowing for secure and precise mounting of the exhaust system. To ensure a seamless connection between the exhaust and the side mufflers, AccuSeal clamps are thoughtfully included. These high-quality clamps guarantee a tight and leak-free joint, enhancing the overall performance and integrity of the system. With attention to detail and superior materials, each component is designed to deliver a reliable and satisfying experience.

Bolt On & Go

Every exhaust system undergoes meticulous testing in a dedicated fixture to guarantee a perfect fitment. To ensure its safe arrival, each system is carefully foam packed, providing utmost protection during shipping. The installation process for the Center Muffler Bypass Exhaust is straightforward and can be easily performed by most DIY enthusiasts. With comprehensive instructions included in the package, enthusiasts can confidently install the exhaust system themselves, enjoying the benefits of enhanced performance and an exhilarating driving experience.

Additional Information

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.

Shipping Policy

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.

BP Pricing Difference

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.
