DEVELOPMENT: A “CMB” is widely considered to be the ideal starting exhaust mod as it yields the best return on sound optimization for the 997.2 platform – especially on cars with the factory Porsche Sport Exhaust. After consulting with top tier Porsche tuners and engine builders our final design keeps the banks separate (like the factory layout) to prevent loss of low end torque while increasing overall performance. Rasp is cut down over a crossover pipe design through large radius bends with greater flow than factory. The incorporated Torca clamps allow for the best possible fitment on older vehicles.
SOUND: The SOUL Center Muffler Bypass exhaust amplifies the existing exhaust characteristics of the factory system – expect more feedback and growl from the flat six engine. Volume on and off throttle is increased by a moderate amount for a refined level of enjoyment. In-cabin presence is increased slightly to give you much welcomed feedback from the vehicle without droning.
CONSTRUCTION: Each system is made in-house by our fabrication team from mandrel bent .065″ wall, 2.5″ diameter T304L stainless steel tubing and laser cut brackets. All welds are back purged for increased longevity under the most extreme conditions.
BOLT ON AND GO: Each exhaust is built and tested in a thick gauge aluminum fixture (which prevents warping) to ensure perfect fitment. Every set is rigorously quality-checked prior to shipping and then foam packed to ensure they arrive in perfect condition. New high grade bolts, washers, and nuts are included.
LIFETIME WARRANTY: Enjoy your SOUL exhaust components for your Porsche with confidence on both the street and track as they are covered by our Lifetime Warranty! Our team will quickly work with you to resolve any issues or answer any questions that you may have.

I had the most incredible end to end experience working with Evan on getting a center bypass + valved side mufflers for my 997.2 c4s. What a solid group of professionals, I even got to tour the facility and see some of the fabrication. There are cheaper options out there, but you know what they say about being penny wise and pound foolish… SOUL truly cares for their craft and it shows in their service, patience for educating customers, and hawk-eyed attention to detail.
The best part is that the guys who work here are all enthusiasts themselves. These folks treated my car as their own and even gave it a wash before handing over the keys.
The sound is unreal; a deep growl at low RPMs and what can only be described as a jet engine when you push towards red. I had originally expressed concerns about it potentially being too loud for quiet neighborhoods or driving around dense city areas, but the valve more than solves for it. Honestly, i’d even just keep it open living in NYC - it turns heads without being obnoxious.
Just a couple days in I can’t stop smiling and laughing. PS - get the polished exhaust tips. You won’t regret it.
I’ll be coming back for a new set of wheels in no time.
