Overview

The SOUL Sport Cats / Cat Bypass Pipes replace the dense factory catalytic sections on the Porsche 996 Carrera, the most restrictive part of the system after the engine itself. Less back pressure means quicker response, more top-end pull and a richer 3.4L / 3.6L flat-6 / 3.6L flat-6 sound.

SOUL Performance Products designs, builds and tests its exhaust parts in-house in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, and has developed many of them on its own track and street cars. Parts are covered by a lifetime warranty for street and track use.

Options on this page: Cat Section: Cat Bypass Pipes (Catless), Sport Catalytic Converters (Catted). Catted choices use high-flow catalytic converters for street use; catless choices replace them with straight pipe for maximum flow.

Features

Replaces the restrictive factory catalytic sections
Bolts to the factory or SOUL rear exhaust
Choice of catted or catless configuration where offered

What is included

Left and right sections for the selected configuration with SOUL-supplied hardware.
