Soul Performance Sport Headers for 991.2 Porsche 911 Carrera

Soul Performance Sport Headers for 991.2 Porsche 911 Carrera

Soul Performance Products’ performance headers offer an enhancement in power, response, and sound while ensuring no compromise to ground clearance.

Development

• Soul Performance was determined to optimize performance and enhance response while also considering clearance for daily driven vehicles. Their expertly designed 3-into-1 merge collector ensures improved response compared to the factory design, while the runners effectively increase exhaust velocity into the collector and turbo. Upon examination of the factory headers, one can observe a support in the middle runner, which hampers the smooth flow path from the exhaust port. Overall, the factory design is quite basic and leaves ample room for improvement.
• To achieve a seamless flow path into the turbo, the header outlet was sized at 1.63″, surpassing the factory turbo inlet measurement of approximately 1.54″ ID. The combination of the internal volume of the header and the resulting design enhancements harmoniously align with the efficiency map of the turbo, resulting in noticeably quicker boost response and increased power throughout the RPM range. With each press of the gas pedal, the car responds promptly, and each gear delivers more usable power before necessitating a downshift.
• In contrast to the factory header’s double wall design, Soul Performance Products’ header features a single wall design, resulting in a more aesthetically appealing sharper edge to the exhaust and an amplified turbo sound. This design modification brings forth a delightful increase in exhaust volume and enhances the overall tone quality, all without introducing drone or undesirable characteristics. Anticipate an augmented presence of burbles and sharper pops during gear shifts and upon deceleration.

Construction

• Every set of headers is meticulously assembled in-house in the USA, employing laser-cut flanges and mandrel bent, thick wall .065″ T304L stainless steel. The welding process is executed with back purged TIG welding, utilizing ARCAL Prime argon gas to ensure optimal weld penetration and durability. In the fabrication process, thick gauge aluminum fixtures are employed, serving as excellent heat sinks during welding and effectively preventing warping of both the products and the fixtures themselves. This meticulous approach guarantees impeccable fitment of the headers.

Power

• Experience a substantial boost in driving performance with maximum power gains of 12whp and 20ft-lbs that swiftly manifest and persist until redline. This notable increase in power enhances the overall driving experience. Furthermore, the installation of a custom Pro Tune would fully capitalize on the enhanced flow, unlocking even greater gains in performance.

Bolt On & Go

• Each component undergoes a rigorous quality-check process to ensure optimal performance and reliability. Additionally, thorough testing in a fixture guarantees precise fitment. To ensure that the components arrive in impeccable condition, they are carefully foam packed. Furthermore, the package includes new high-grade hardware and OEM Porsche gaskets, providing all the necessary elements for a seamless installation process.

Features

• Max power gains of approximately 12whp and 20ft-lbs of torque (as tested on base model with ECU tune)
• Weighs 5.4lbs / 2.4kg less than factory exhaust components (9.9lbs vs 15.3lbs)
• Designed and built in-house at Soul’s Willow Grove, PA facility
• All Soul Performance Products exhaust components are backed by their lifetime warranty for both street and track use
