Product Description

 

 

The Soul Performance Center Muffler Bypass Exhaust for the Porsche 997.2 Carrera (2009–2011) is a high-quality mid-section exhaust upgrade that enhances the iconic flat-six sound and improves exhaust flow without losing low-end torque. Engineered to replace the restrictive OEM center muffler piece with a performance-oriented bypass section, this exhaust elevates throttle feedback, adds a deeper growl to the flat-six note, and increases overall exhaust efficiency under acceleration and cruising. Constructed in-house from mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel with back-purged welds and laser-cut brackets, it’s built to withstand the demands of spirited driving and track use. With a weight savings over the factory component and a refined sound character that avoids drone, this is an ideal first performance exhaust mod for your 997.2 Carrera.
