Product Description

Replace your 997.2 Carrera’s restrictive stock exhaust manifolds with Soul Performance’s Long‑Tube Street Headers — a high‑flow, premium stainless‑steel header set engineered to unlock the full potential of your flat‑six. These headers use large-diameter, smooth-radius runners and carefully designed collectors to improve exhaust flow, reduce backpressure, and free up power and throttle response. The result: sharper throttle feel, stronger mid‑range and top‑end punch, and a deeper, more aggressive exhaust tone — without sacrificing street drivability. Built in‑house in the U.S. from T304L stainless with precision tolerances, they bolt on directly for a clean upgrade that’s ready to drive. If you want your Carrera to breathe freely and sound like the thoroughbred it is — this is a serious performance upgrade.

Fitment Notes

  • Compatible with Porsche 997.2 Carrera models (2009–2011) — both 3.6L and 3.8L flat‑six variants.

  • Direct bolt‑on replacement for the factory exhaust manifolds — no custom fabrication or cutting needed. 

  • Built around free-flowing catalytic converters — preserves emissions compliance and helps avoid check-engine lights (assuming factory or compatible downstream exhaust and sensors).

Included

  • One set of long‑tube stainless‑steel street headers (left and right banks), precision-mandrel bent from 0.065" wall T304L stainless. 

  • High‑quality hardware for header-to-exhaust flange installation. 

  • Installation instructions — designed to allow competent DIY or professional installation without custom work.

Product Specs

  • Material: T304L stainless steel, mandrel-bent with .065" thick walls for strength and heat resistance. 

  • Runner design: Long‑tube, large-diameter smoothly bent primaries — optimized for improved flow and scavenging. 

  • Collectors: Designed with flow “spikes” and smooth transitions to merge primaries efficiently, raising exhaust velocity and reducing turbulence. 

  • Catalytic converters: High‑flow catted units integrated (on the “Street” version) to preserve emissions compliance and avoid O2-sensor issues / check‑engine lights.

Product Features

  • Noticeably improved throttle response & power delivery — freer exhaust flow reduces backpressure, letting the engine breathe easier and deliver stronger, more immediate power throughout the rev‑range.

  • Sharper, richer flat‑six exhaust tone — the long‑tube headers amplify the characteristic Porsche “flat‑six growl,” giving a deeper, more aggressive soundtrack without resorting to full race headers.

  • Street‑friendly with emissions compliance — integrated high‑flow catalytic converters maintain legal compliance and help avoid check‑engine lights, even with a mostly stock exhaust system.

  • Direct bolt‑on installation, OEM-engineered fitment — no cutting, welding, or custom fabrication needed; designed for straightforward install.

  • Quality build for longevity — T304L stainless steel, thick‑wall tubes, precise flanges, and TIG welding ensure durability against heat cycles and long-term use.

  • Balanced upgrade for daily-driven & performance‑oriented use — ideal for owners who want a real performance and sound improvement but still drive their 997.2 on the street.
