The Soul Performance Long Tube Competition Headers for the Porsche 997.2 Carrera (2009–2011) are a race-oriented exhaust upgrade engineered to replace the restrictive OEM manifolds with high-flow, long-tube stainless steel runners and an optimized collector design. This competition-grade set significantly improves exhaust scavenging, reduces backpressure, and enhances engine responsiveness while delivering a much more aggressive and visceral exhaust tone. Built from thick-wall T304L stainless steel and precision fabricated for direct fitment, these headers are ideal for track-focused builds or high-performance street vehicles where maximum flow and sound are prioritized. Because they remove the factory catalytic converter section, these competition headers are best suited for off-road or closed-course use and should be paired with proper ECU tuning and O2 spacers as required.
Designed for Porsche 911 Carrera (997.2) and Carrera S (2009–2011).
Removing factory catalytic converters may trigger a check engine light; O2 spacers or ECU tune required to prevent codes.
Intended for competition / track use and not emissions-legal in many regions.
Professional installation recommended to ensure correct fitment and sensor integration.
Pair of long tube competition headers fabricated from T304L stainless steel.
Precision port-matched flanges for direct fitment.
Installation hardware and instructions.
Material: Thick-wall T304L stainless steel for high-temperature durability.
Design: Long tube primary runners with performance-oriented collector for improved flow.
Weight: Approximately 7.25 lbs (3.2 kg) lighter than OEM manifolds (18.45 lbs vs 25.7 lbs).
Installation: Direct bolt-on to factory header ports.
Sound: Aggressive, track-focused exhaust tone due to freer airflow and lack of catalytic restriction.
Maximized exhaust flow over stock manifolds for sharper throttle response and increased engine efficiency.
Significant weight reduction improves overall vehicle dynamics and engine response.
Precision fabrication from T304L stainless ensures long-term durability under high heat.
Aggressive, competition-oriented sound that elevates the flat-six soundtrack.
Lifetime warranty from Soul Performance Products on street and track use.
