- It's exhaust system face-off time! Soul Performance vs. the Stock 991 Porsche exhaust.
In this video, you'll get to see and hear how incredible the sound of the Soul PP Valved Exhaust system is in comparison to the stock exhaust that comes with the 911 Carrera from the factory. It doesn't change the natural, awesome, sound of the flat-six engine, it amplifies it. For the sports car and driving enthusiasts out there who want the coolest, purest, most refined sounding exhaust notes coming out of their 911 - this exhaust system is definitely worth checking out.
We'll drive around, we'll do some cold starts, some stationary revs, some launches and accelerating away. You'll get to hear sound inside and outside the cabin, valves opened and closed. This is one of the most fun videos I've made so far. I hope you enjoy it!!
As ever, thanks so much for watching my videos and supporting my channel. I do all of this because of my passion for cars and interacting with like minded car enthusiasts. Keep the comments and chat coming! More videos coming soon. Cheers!

Ugh. Gold stars for those who spotted my spelling mistake in a few of the subtitles throughout the video. 🥴🤦🏼♂️
I really like the immediate back and forth between stock and performance exhaust. No one has done it like that! Great job!
Thanks so much!!
Sounds superb no question.....clearly a high quality product and installation.....
Plus I love the effect that such a simple thing as “noise” turns us grown men into dribbling toddlers 😂
That’s a large investment however and whilst I’m chuffed you love the outcome, I got a similar feeling from a humble gundo hack on my old 997 C4s which I had done a few months back...... fantastic budget alternative to installing full replacement systems. Keep up the enthusiasm..... we Porker fan boys like this kinda nonsense 👍
Haha. Thanks! And yes, the gundo hack sounds awesome too. Good one!
GREAT video! Thank you for all the thoughtfulness of the production value. Killer b-roll including all the drone shots. Holy crap, people take that for granted. You had to get out and get the drone up and tracking the car for each one of those shots. That can be such a beating to dial in. I know. Anyway, thanks for all the effort to make fantastic videos for your community. You deserve every sub and like. I used your 997 climate control switch video just today in fact to swap those out. You rock!
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it!! Really glad you found the 997 video helpful. Cheers!! 🤩🙌
Another video I never tire of!
One word: EPIC!! 💨
Even with the valves closed on the soul exhaust, it is like night and day. With the valves open, it just sings!! Great video, intoxicating noises, awesome footage 👍
Cheers Clive!! I like this video too, I have to admit to watching it dozens of times myself. 🤣🤣🤣
Auto Amateur 😂😀🤣
Glad you like it! - Mike
Very, very cool !! Always valves open..! 👌🏽
That sounds absolutely incredible on your 991!... nice deep and throaty with the perfect amount of det crackles and pops... that smile is totally warranted! Good choice with SOUL! You gained a new subscriber with your editing and attention to detail
Thanks Art, appreciate it!!! Thanks for the feedback, and for the follow!
The video back and forth between the OEM, Soul Valve Closed and Soul Valve Open at the end made the video for me! That’s exactly what I was looking for!
🤩👍👍👍
Glad you like it!
Soul Performance Products any Boxing Day sales, for Canadian distributors or buying directly, I’m looking for this exact exhaust.
@@capitalexotics Thank you for your interest! You just missed our big holiday sale but I can take care of you. Can you shoot me a message at mike@soulpp.com?
Man I love it! Sounds great. This motivates me to have a 911 even sooner.
Go get it!!
Another great video James. I really liked how you captured the sound in and outside of the car. With valves open at the top of the rev range it gets a little bit of the high pitch I’ve only heard in videos of GT3s.
Thanks!! 👍
Sounds fantastic. I like that you went the extra mile and had the oem PSE button installed. It’s the first thing I turn on!
Thanks!
Another awesome video! Thank you, James! Enjoy! - Mike
He makes some top quality vids and your exhaust sounds so good and deep on that 991 damn!!... I am seriously considering SOUL for my Cayman S 987.1... Every clip I've heard of it though from boost bros to supercars of philly almost seems to make the pitch higher on the .1's almost F1 like instead of deeper as it does on the .2's and the 911's??... Is that my ears playing tricks on me or is that the nature of the exhaust on the .1's? ...
I love your stuff and the quality you put out... kudos!!
Thanks Mike!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and the team!
@@gt3rs825 Thank you for considering us! The pitch doesn't change so much as the true tone of the engine is allowed through. Those guys aren't running any cats so you'll hear a sharper, more mechanical engine note. When you get into the higher RPM's it will sound amazing! I invite you to give us a chance, we're running a Beyond Black Friday Super Sale right now and we'll take it back if you are not satisfied. :)
Well I knew it wouldn’t be a long wait for this video..
Hahaha. Yup. 🙃
Excellent Video !!!
Thank you very much!
Great video. Nice work putting this together. I have a 991.2 and want to upgrade the exhaust.
Sounds amazing! 👍
Thanks Clive!
I really like the Fister on the 997, but I love the Soul on the 991. Totally unreal. Well done!
Thanks Jonathan!!! Appreciate it!
Thank you!
I got the same exhaust installed on my 991.1 C2 but with the sports headers as well, the sounds is brutal and intense! Love it!
I can’t wait to install the headers too! Bring on the spring! 🤩🙌
Auto Amateur next step is a tune to take advantage of the extra flow!
Totally agree with Lewis's comment; excellent comparison. The only way to compare "music" like that out of those great speakers is to A/B it within a few seconds. Those have a wonderful sound all the way through the rev range.
Thanks Alan!! 🤩🙌
When spring comes i have to make a rev video of my fabspeed performance system and 200 cell sports cats, im sure i will bust pennywise, anyway Soul performance is mega, and James you are a genius editing AND you are making great Porsche content
Thank you Trond!! I really appreciate that feedback. I try hard to make my edits as good as they can. It's so cool to know that others appreciate it too! So cool. Thanks mate!! p.s. Send me videos of your revs in spring!!!
Thank you for the love!
To me, with the valves “closed” they seem to open at a point in the rev range whereas with the valves “open” they’re open all the time. And I must say that comparison was legitimately the best I’ve ever seen.
Thanks Lloyd! Appreciate the kind feedback! You're right, with the valves set to closed, the 911 opens them up automatically once you hit 3k RMP and they close automatically again once you get below 3k RMP. With the PSE button on, they're just open all the time.
I agree 💯, your comparison of the open and closed valves were the best I have ever heard. Now that I have actually heard the differences, I am going to have my local independent Porsche shop install The Soul Performance Exhaust on my 2014 Cayman Base 🏎
I get mine installed tomorrow. Can’t wait
Woohoo!! Congratulations!! 🤩🙌🙌🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Thank you, I’ll let you know how it goes
Thanks for sharing. Absolutely beautiful sound on your 991.1 I really love it.
Don’t know how it sound if I install on my 991.2. Kinda regret to get the turbo engines. Your .1 sounds absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks!! I’m sure you’ll get some sound improvements installing it on the 991.2 but yes, it won’t sound the same as the .1 as you mention. NA vs. Turbo.
No contest, Soul Exhaust rules!
Sounds great.
Thanks! Cheers!
Well done! ESP the last few min comparing them all on after the other.
Cheers Richard!
Yep!! Soul Performance exhaust sounds great! Much better than stock. Good call. And the fact that you don't have to carry around a silly key fob to activate it makes it tons better. Turn off radio, push button, and let that flat 6 make the music!! Good stuff!!
The Flat 6 Symphony. Haha. Love it.
OH MAN, that sounds awesome. I would never close the valves, well only to come and go from the house. I would next find a shop to Dyno tune it (excellent job on the editing to compare sounds)
Thanks so much!! Haha - that's right. As soon as I left my street yesterday the valves came on. :-) In the spring I will be adding Soul Performance headers and give it a tune at the same time.
Auto Amateur headers and a tune? Can’t wait to hear that.
Amazing, good choice! Love your videos, very helpful! Thank you! Is there a gain in performance as well?
Not from the vault exhaust, but you will get a performance gain from the soul performance headers. I’m about to install those and make a few videos about them in the next month.
Love the detailed comparisons. Definitely gonna take the vid to get the same setup for mine. Mine is a 7 speed manual tho of the same model. My partner has the 2017 targa with PDK. I enjoy the manual probably because it’s not my daily driver. Lol
Right on!
That sounds awesome !! Think I know what my Boxster S is getting in the spring !
Haha. Do it!! 🤩🥳🥳🥳🥳
Thank you, Dave! We'd be happy to take care of you! :)
Love It!!! Ok I'm sold! Just ordered the exact same exhaust for my 991.1 base! I've been up in the air on which way to go. Thanks a ton! Gave you a shout out to Paul at Soul.
That’s awesome!! Congratulations!!
Do you see my grin 😊
Thomas Curry hahahahaha. Awesome.
Thank you for your order, Thomas!
Woo Hoo!!!!! Alex at AW Designs Tuning in Vista, CA installed my Soul Performance Exhaust last weekend. OMG absolutely love it!!! It's a completely different car now! Thank you Alex, Auto Amateur and Soul Performance for making my Christmas this year extra special 🏎😊☀️😎
No contest, Soul Custom Exhaust rules!
Agreed!
Glad you like it👍
Thanks John!!
damn sounds good
Thanks!!
Hey bud, I did want to say, hope you and your lovely family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Happy Holidays.
Thanks Mick! Appreciate it! All the best to you and yours.
Intoxicating, listened/watched while I was cooking... made me actually think - what did we do without proper engine noise and growl, before Porsche 😉😉
Haha. True.
Damn you, Damn you Damn you!!!! I have a 2018 911 Turbo. I inquired about an exhaust months ago with Soul. I didn't do anything because I wanted to stop spending money on this car. John called me from Soul and we had a nice chat and I asked questions. I put it out of my mind for months deciding that I don't need this. Then your videos come out on this exhaust. The sound was incredible and what really got me was the smile on your face (and the smile on the hot girl's face on their website that is featured). It must be an incredible exhaust to make you so happy. I want to be happy like you and the hot girl on the website as I am so empty inside. Because of YOU I called them again and they were so cool. I then called my Porsche Shop (Sleeper's Speed Shop) and they quoted me a really low rate to install. I called John back and they set them up as a dealer and they will now sell their exhausts and the first one they will sell and install is mine. Damn you Damn you Damn you.
Frederick! Thank you so much for giving us a chance to upgrade your Porsche!
HA!! That's absolutely AWESOME Fredrick. Amazing!!! Congratulations. I'm sorry for making you spend more money on your Turbo, but I'm also NOT sorry. You will absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!! Cheers!
Mine is in finally. I love it
Congratulations!!!! That’s awesome! Did you wire it up to the PSE button?
Auto Amateur no as the Turbos don't have a PSE button. I believe they are always "on" in the louder mode. I sent you a picture via my wife's Instagram BTW
Sounds awesome. Well done. Tech note, I wonder if your camera is normalizing the audio levels a bit, cuz the exhaust sounds the same volume with the valves open.
Ah, maybe! That’s a great point. It could be.
James, great videos! I just found your channel and its super informative. I’m looking to replace the exhaust system in my 991.1 with PSE. Just 1 question. I do a lot of highway driving so I’m curious how the Soul system compares to PSE when both have the valves closed. Is Soul much louder? Many thanks, and keep up the great work! Dave
With the valves closed, you don't notice the difference when you're cruising on the highway. You will hear a better sound at start up, a little more when you shift up and down at speed but when the valves are closed it's nothing to worry about.
Great to know! Thanks, I’m going to pull the trigger in the spring. Looks like a very good product and company.
I’ve watched a few more of your videos. What a coincidence, we’ve done the same mods to our 991’s - Aerokit front bumper, duck tail rear spoiler (except I went with the factory product), and Soul exhaust. You’ve got good taste! LOL!
Great vid! I would love to hear more of the decel to find out how much it burbles. I actually prefer a more clean sound like the GT3's. I'm local to Soul as well so I can actually go and see them in person.
That’s awesome! They’re so great to work with and I love the sound of their exhaust on my 911. It’s absolutely incredible.
Nice.
I hope you not going into debt on this stuff.
👍😎
Exhaust sounds awesome, great choice & probably better than my Fabspeed headers, which are open valved and annoy the neighbors :) Look forward to the Apple Car Play hack video!
Thanks Ian!! I'm going to attempt that job on Sunday... wish me luck! :)
Auto Amateur good luck, happy you’ll be the Guinea Pig, you’re a braver man than I am!!!
Ian, if we can help you out with any mods to make your driving experience more civil, let us know! - Mike
@@SoulPerformanceProducts Thanks Mike! Maybe...I also have a Mclaren 675LT and am looking to find some different exhaust tips vs the stock titanium ones, in either satin carbon or satin black, do you guys make anything by chance???
@@ianreadman unfortunately we do not have a solution for you there. It might be possible to Jet-Hot coat them satin black but that would leave you without them for some time. If you ever want to upgrade your downpipes, that we can take care of you on.
I cannot imagine how we are going to feel once we are all forced into silent electric cars. The sound is so important for involvement. I have a Jag I-Pace, and it is fantastic.....but silent. I don't look back at it after I get out, but the RS4, I definitely do!
No electric car could ever evoke the same emotion
Haha. I'm sure that's true, at least for now!
So much better sounding and aesthetically pleasing :-)
Thanks Simon!!
Thank you!
Thanks for the great videos all the time!
One quesiton is that what brings you to SOUL not PSE?
I'm thinking to buy one but struggling to decide...let me know what you think!
Cheers from Tokyo.
Thanks Issei! Soul vs PSE? Easy choice. PSE is like watching Avengers. Soul is like watching Avengers Infinity War + Endgame in one sitting. Similar experience, just the Soul exhaust is more exciting, more exhilarating and worth every penny.
@@AutoAmateur Thank you very much for the explanation! Yeah I definitely need SOUL now. I thing I need to know before buying them is whether they will pass noise inspection in Japan while valves closed.
let me guess.....
Remember that you got more pops and bangs in sport and not in Sport plus :D Nice sound. I have now a 718 that i love so much but miss my 996 that i had before and the sound it maked
I didn't know that! The 718 is sooooo nice!! What kind of spec do you have?
Auto Amateur I have Bose, PASM, 20inch rims blacked out. Gt silver metallic but it has been wrapped in orange. I dont have the sport exhaust but it has two pipes and Gets louder in sport. Do you have Instagram? Can send some pictures
@@jesperp9081 I do!! I'm @auto.amateur on Instagram. Your spec sounds great!!!
@@jesperp9081 I do!! I'm @auto.amateur on Instagram. Y
Auto Amateur forgot that it has sport chrono and blacked out tail lights. The PDK is sooo freaking nice
New exhaust is totally awesome! I'm guessing your kids weren't napping while you were filming in the garage, eh?
Hahahaha. Right! I took the opportunity to film that while they were out. ☺️
Indeed. Your car + snows = more fun in the snow than the law should allow.
🤣🤣👍
Wow...that sounds fantastic!! I’d have to sell a kidney to afford it 😟. Nice!!
Well, you do have two kidneys. 🙃
Thank you! We can just trade directly for a kidney!
Love the exhaust... Sound change hits you in the Soul!!!
I'm considering this exhaust with the headers, Street Package, for optimal performance.
Just one question, as your vehicle did not initially have PSE (as mine is nonPSE as well), your Porsche dealer installed the Factory PSE button including all the wiring as well as the exhaust for $1500? Or did you have to supply them with the wiring and other parts for the Factory PSE button placement?
I ask this as I was just informed by Soul Performance that they can install the PSE option using the Garage Door Control buttons on the overhead panel.
I prefer the button on the lower console as you have done. I just wanted to know if you had that option.
Your Videos are enjoyed!!!
Thanks you!! Yes. For $1500 this including installed the Soul exhaust as well as the button, the wiring and the programming. Good luck!!

Anyone with a 911 has a wry grin, full revs in 1st, 2nd and deep into 3rd! (Clears throat . . .. ) what's the limit on those roads?? Love the sound BTW.
It was a road in Mexico. Or was it Costa Rica? :) Thanks!
"Professional Drivers on a Closed Course"
I’m curious if you have the V1 or V2? And is there any drone at all with the valves open or closed? I’m thinking about putting this on my 991.1 c2. The thing that is most disappointing about my non PSE is there are no crackles or pops. Even my Macan S that also doesn’t have PSE crackles and pops.
I have the v2 exhaust product and there is no drone at all, zero, when the valves are open. It sounds amazing!
Hi James, did you consider the Porsche Sports Exhaust upgrade? If so, what made you choose the Soul PP option? As always another excellent video and your car sounds outstanding!!
I did! I looked at the OEM PSE option as well as the Fister and Fabspeed systems. I went with Soul PP eventually for a couple of reasons - first and fore most the sound of the exhaust is tremendous. It's like the OEM PSE but dialed up a few notches to an 11 or a 12... or a 13. :-) Secondly, the build quality is excellent and from all the research I did, they got 5-star reviews. Thirdly, they're so nice and easy to work with!
@@AutoAmateur Thx James - Sold, Soul PP it is for my 991.1 Convertible! Keep up the great work!
@@coleyboysnr HA! That's awesome. I suggest emailing mike@soulpp.com and seeing what he can do for you as a loyal AutoAmateur viewer...! :-)
@@AutoAmateur I will indeed! Thx again
Sounds epic ... lol I want one! ... how much was the total cost parts and labour? .. cheers
GET ONE! Soul PP are actually having a Thanksgiving sale this weekend. Maybe now is the time! :) The exhaust (full price) goes for just over $3k and the installation will cost you between $600 and $1500 depending on if you just want the exhaust installed or if you also want it hooked up to the button inside the car.
Great sounds no doubt 👍👍👍 how much soul cost??
The Soul PP valved exhaust is just over $3k. They have a sale on at the moment! Check them out!
No switch needed! Open valves all the time! 😳✌️
Hahahaha. Right?!
Cheers!
Good lord Mate. That is so ridiculous. Open is the only way.
Hahahaha. I know right?! I’m only driving with the valves open. It’s epic.
Did your Soul Exhaust have any mufflers removed? Ours were gone when we bought it (2016 GT3) and the inside drone is unbearable. We are considering either going back to stock and/or adding a center muffler (Soul or Stock). Any suggestions? How do we tell if they wired this into the control panel as you showed on your video? thanks
No mufflers removed.
Ok James!!! You said the magic words “ NO DRONE”. I put a Borla cat back exhaust on my Cayman and loved the sound....until. Anything over 45 or 50 mph was borderline annoying inside the cabin. I’ve been fearful of making such a costly decision with my 997. Our present cars are indeed worlds apart but the flame has reignited for an exhaust. Are you planning on DIY’ing the gauge face swap? If so, I am definitely interested in that video. Take care friend.
Thanks Gary!! I was afraid of the same thing with an exhaust like this but it’s legit. I’m planning on driving the whole way back to the Tail of the Dragon with the valves open. 🤣🤣 It’s so cool. I love it.
Ps. Chrono gauge face swap... yes! I’m doing it myself. I’m 80% excited, 20% nervous. Haha.
I have the soul valved exhaust on my 997.1. No drone at any rpm with the valves open. It’s a great addition to the 997.1.
We designed our Boxster / Cayman exhaust systems around reducing drone as much as possible! We know that a good amount of people will add headers as well and the rear exhaust should support the rest of your mods as it is your primary device to attenuate sound. The Borla is an aggressive rear exhaust and does sound good but it lacks the drone fighting provisions. I invite you to call us so we can discuss your needs and all options to make sure you get the experience you're looking for! :)
Nice one James, sounds superb without being too OTT. Apologies for the boring (am I your dad) question, but how does the mod effect the warranty?
Great question! I actually don’t know. My car is no longer under warranty so I didn’t worry about that. My guess is that it could void the warranty on your exhaust but not the rest of your car. Best to ask Porsche though of course.
David, as this exhaust does not alter any emissions devices you shouldn't experience any grief for your dealer. They would be hard pressed to have the grounds to deny any warranty claims on a rear exhaust. That said, every dealer is different. We have some dealers that will install emissions altering devices and some won't touch them.
Hi Soul Performance, besides the obvious good looks (if I lived underneath my car), what are the benefits of swapping out an OEM PSE for yours on my 997.2 Manual Cab?
@@davidridley3477 we're working on our 997.2 Carrera exhaust suite at the moment and should be launching soon. As you already have upgraded factory side mufflers, you're options would realistically be swapping our your center muffler or headers. Headers will yield a greater power gain but the price is higher. I invite you to contact us so we can chat more about your options!
I have a similar car same color same year. Do you know how many HP the new exhaust add to the car?
We have not dyno tested it but you can expect around 5-10 whp at different points in the RPM range. The main power adders on the 991.1 Carrera are the headers.
👆👆👆👆
Next job... Soul PP headers! Bring it on! 🤩🙌
Are you planning to change the headers?
@@Jorge-tw2wp Oh yes! I think I'm going to wait until spring, but I'm planning to do the headers and tune the engine at the same time.
On the video, you mentioned "about $1500" for the install... about how much were the pipes?
Depending on whether or not they have a sale on (like Black Friday), the valved exhaust systems runs around $3500
👍SOUL👌
Hahaha. Thanks Mat! Word.
Thank you! :)
What's the Next Upgrade! I'm Ready... I got my Soul Headers & exhaust....
WOOHOO!! Nice one Danny! You're going to LOVE them.
Just wondering how much did u spent on it? My dealer in LA asked $6000+ for PES installation and labor on my 991.1 S model 911. Thats a lot money, don't know if the price is fair.
Run!!! I paid $1500 to have the exhaust installed with the button and the programming.
I'm confused
If you hadn't wired it into the console, how would it be switched on/off?
With a little gadget that hangs off your key chain, like a car alarm fob. The other option is to program your Homelink garage door buttons. That would open / close the valves.
@@AutoAmateur thanks
will be installing Fisters on my 99 986C4Cab, but will leave my 12 911S stock
Fisters ROCK!! Congrats!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳👍 I was so happy with the Fisters on my 997. So so amazing.
What year is your 991?
Hey man what year 991.1 is this?
2013
@@AutoAmateur very nice. 991.1 is. Becoming a classic. The na sound is awesome!
Going on the Autobahn over 100 km/h and receiving a phone call or having a decent conversation with the lady on the passenger seat seems to be impossible with this setup!?
You can absolutely take a call or speak with the passenger. There really isn’t any significant drone. It’s incredible.
You need some winter tires/wheels. Even with rear wheel drive the car handles the snow well. As I said it is common for guys to sell sets. Here is a set that would serve you well imo. rennlist.com/forums/market/1171299
Very nice!! I’d love to see black rims on my 911!
I had the Fabspeed short pipes put on my 2006 911 Carrara S and the gurgle i get from the car starts and when de celerating all the while loosing 60Lbs from removing the mufflers and putting on the short pipes for $499 plus 50$ labor to swap it out.
Nice!!!! The weight loss is a cool bonus.
Soul 1st, Porsche OEM 7th. 😃
🤩🙌
Great video. But I’m pretty sure exhaust is spelt with a H In it. Lol
Hahahaha. Right!! Ugh. Was too excited to post this video. I missed that in my final check. 🤦🏼♂️🙄
You can stop showing us how the closed exhaust sounds like, thank you very much! lol
Hahahaha. 🤣👍
Haha!
To bad the new 991.2 sound weak
Hey bud, I did want to say, hope you and your lovely family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Happy Holidays.
Thanks! To you and yours!
