Description

SOUL Performance Valved Exhaust System for 997.1 Porsche 911 Carrera

SOUL Performance Products Porsche 997.1 Carrera Valved Exhaust is engineered to deliver two distinct personalities in one system, with a sporty OEM-plus tone when the valves are closed and a Cup-inspired, straight-through sound when the valves are opened. In this configuration, the system is set up for Non-PSE cars and reuses the OEM exhaust tips for a clean factory appearance, while the default startup orientation keeps the valves closed for a more refined warm-up. Valve operation can be controlled using the included remotes or integrated with the factory HomeLink buttons. Developed using SOUL’s proven drone-fighting muffler principles, valves-closed cruising is designed to remain drone-free even with aftermarket catalytic converters, while valves-open mode is intentionally loud due to its free-flowing design. The system weighs 2lb (0.9kg) less than the factory exhaust (36.6lb vs 38.6lb), and is built in-house in Willow Grove, PA from mandrel-bent 0.060-inch wall T304L stainless tubing with bespoke SOUL mufflers and laser-cut brackets, with fixture testing, in-house quality checks, and foam packing prior to shipping. It is backed by SOUL Performance’s Lifetime Warranty for street and track use.

Development

SOUL Performance set out to design a valved exhaust that transitions from relaxed cruising to track-day aggression at the press of a button, with the default startup configuration keeping the valves closed for a more refined experience. Building on the proven drone-fighting effectiveness of the mufflers used in SOUL Performance 987/981 exhaust systems, the same design principles were applied to a bespoke muffler engineered specifically for the 997 Carrera.

Sound

SOUL Performance routes exhaust gases through bespoke mufflers to deliver a sophisticated, sporty tone that remains unmistakably Porsche with the valves closed, which is the default operating mode. With the valves open, the system shifts to a Cup-inspired straight-through sound. During cruising with the valves closed, the design is engineered to remain drone-free, even with aftermarket catalytic converters. Because the valves-open mode is highly aggressive and free-flowing, overall volume can be very loud when paired with aftermarket catalytic converters or free flow replacement pipes.

Construction

Each system is made in-house by SOUL Performance’s fabrication team using mandrel-bent 0.060-inch wall T304L stainless steel tubing, bespoke SOUL mufflers, and laser-cut brackets, with well over 15 labor hours invested in every set to ensure it meets SOUL Performance standards.

Bolt on and Go

Each exhaust is built and tested by SOUL Performance in a thick-gauge aluminum fixture to help prevent warping and confirm precise fitment. Every set is rigorously quality-checked prior to shipping and then foam packed to help ensure it arrives in perfect condition.

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.
