SOUL Long Tube Competition Headers Porsche 991.1 Carrera (2012-2016)

Unlock the full breathing potential of your 991.1 Carrera with SOUL’s Long Tube Competition Headers — a high‑flow, precision‑engineered exhaust upgrade designed to embarrass the restrictive factory manifolds. These headers smooth out exhaust flow by replacing stock pressed flanges and cramped primaries with wide‑radius long‑tube runners and a performance‑oriented collector. The result: noticeably sharper throttle response, reduced exhaust back‑pressure, lower operating temps, and a deeper, more aggressive flat‑six soundtrack that announces your presence without compromise. With direct‑bolt fitment and fitment testing, these headers bring track‑level flow and tone to your Carrera. If you want real performance gains, improved responsiveness, and a signature exhaust note — this is an essential upgrade.

Fitment Notes

• Fits all 2012–2016 Porsche 911 Carrera (991.1) — including base, S, 4, 4S, GTS, and Targa models (with or without factory PSE). 

• Direct bolt‑on installation — no cutting, welding, or major custom fabrication required. Installation instructions included. 

• Because this is a “competition” header set (i.e. catless or heavy‑performance oriented), factory catalytic converters are removed — this may trigger a check‑engine light, and the purchase of O₂ spacers or a custom ECU tune is strongly recommended for track‑use builds.

Included

• Left and right long‑tube stainless‑steel headers (complete set for both banks) — port‑matched flanges, smooth‑radius primaries, and performance collector. 

• All required hardware and gaskets for installation using existing factory exhaust‑system mounting points. 

• Detailed installation instructions.

Product Specs

• Construction Material: T304L stainless steel, mandrel‑bent primaries and collectors to maintain consistent cross‑section and strength under high heat/stress.

• Runner Design: Long‑tube runners with smooth‑radius bends + performance‑oriented collector to maximize exhaust flow and scavenging efficiency.

• Emissions / Catalytic Status: Typically catless (competition) configuration — yields maximum flow, tone, and power but can require O₂ spacers or tuning to avoid check‑engine codes.

• Fitment: Complete bolt‑on replacement for 991.1 Carrera — matches factory mounting points and flanges, no fabrication needed.

Product Features

• Substantial power & response gains: By eliminating restrictive stock exhaust flow paths (pressed flanges, small primaries, large cats) and replacing with smooth long‑tube design, the headers unlock additional horsepower potential and deliver sharper throttle response and improved mid‑ and upper‑RPM power delivery. 

• Aggressive, unmistakable flat‑six exhaust tone: The free‑flow design liberates the natural character of Porsche’s horizontally opposed engine — expect deeper, richer exhaust notes, especially when revving or during throttle transitions under load.

• Weight reduction & thermal efficiency: Removing heavy, restrictive factory manifolds and catalytic hardware reduces mass and helps reduce exhaust temperatures — contributing to improved engine breathing and potentially lowering internal heat‑related stress.

• Direct bolt‑on, OEM‑compatible installation: Designed for a clean swap using existing exhaust mounts and flanges — avoids cutting or welding, making installation simpler and more reliable, even for competent DIYers or aftermarket shops.

• Track‑ready build quality & durability: Built from high‑grade stainless steel with precise port‑matched flanges and robust collectors — engineered to withstand the high heat and stress of performance driving or track use.
