Product Description

The Soul Performance Competition Headers for the Porsche 997.1 Carrera (2005–2008) are precision-engineered performance exhaust manifolds designed to dramatically improve exhaust flow and responsiveness. Unlike the restrictive factory headers, these units feature equal-length runners and a true 3-into-1 merge collector to smooth and optimize the path of exhaust gases as they exit the engine, reducing backpressure and improving torque delivery throughout the rev range. Constructed from premium T304L stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance, these headers are a straightforward bolt-on upgrade that enhances both performance and sound without compromising emissions compatibility or triggering check-engine lights. With a lighter build and refined design, they make one of the most effective early performance upgrades for naturally aspirated Carrera engines.
