987.2 Soul Performance Long Tube Headers With Stock Exhaust (No PSE), or with Remus

Hello Has anyone ever installed the Soul Performance Long Tube Street Headers (with 200 CEL Cats) on a 987.2 with the stock exhaust and no PSE ? Ive tried searching and can only find clips with the full system, ie Soul headers paired with the Soul Exhaust (which sounds great but beyond my budget) So I’m seriously considering the Soul Long tube street headers and am wondering what it will sound like with:- Option 1- Soul headers with the Stock exhaust no PSE Option 2- Soul headers with the Remus Exhaust which is currently on my 987.2 - Just worried about excessive drone If anyone has experience, opinions or advice with regard to the above setups or has any video clips of either, I’d love to have a listen Thank you Jkay

I've asked this of Soul and they don't have this setup as well on a base or an S. I've also trawled the net and can't find a clip of such a setup. I think if you go Soul Remus that will be fantastic. I like the sound clips of the remus mufflers and anything I've heard on Soul also sounds good to me. They also seem a honest house and don't seem to over claim power increases. Hope you at least get the Soul 200 Cel.

I think I definitely will at some point, ie get the Soul Headers with 200 CEL Cats. As long as theres no excessive drone with the Remus I'm inclined to go down this path, as I think it will sound great at full chat

I think the soul200 cell on their own will be a good calculated bet

So you reckon Soul Remus if it were you ? 🙂

If I had no motor authority concerns, that's how I'd go.

Yeah, agreed, I'm on a Borla catback on my 3.4 987.2 and I may at some point throw a header there. I initually thought that a catless header with a stock exhaust will be optimal - people do it but nobody recorded it on the internet. I imagine that the pops and crackles will be accentuated in the hollow header tubes but stock mufflers will calm it down a bit. My Borla is about 20% louder than stock with minimal drone, so Im worried that it will be too loud with tube headers . The problem is that these things dont simply add up like this. I will be searching for someone that did this

Ive read of people doing headers with PSE . I think those impressions are still valuable because theoretically PSE closed should sound the same or very similar to the stock non- PSE muffler.

Here is a video that we have of 987.2 with just SOUL Long Tube Street Headers and PSE . If anyone is able to get us a good selection of high quality video clips that I can assemble into a video, I can extend a marketing initiative to anyone who would be interested in helping us make a video for the Long Tube Street Headers alone. -Mike

Thanks @Soul Performance Products . It's a great choice for a weekend car setup. It seams that PSE is similar in loudness to Borla, having just different pitch. Adding the catless headers makes it sound very raw and aggressive, but not obnoxious.

I would disagree based on what I've heard from customers over the years. Borla will be a slight bit louder with a deeper note. PSE was really designed to meet a threshold of tolerance - a lot of us find PSE to be too quiet, but few would argue that PSE is too loud. When you add headers into the mix that's when a rear exhaust is really put to the test, and in the Boxster / Caymans it's how well can they mitigate drone in the 2-3k RPM range. PSE with headers is a great pairing as Porsche executed on a great fundamental design that reduces drone and keeps things exciting but not "brutal". I would say that our Valved Exhaust is a step up in spirit, with valves closed being completely livable and valves open being PSE + while minding drone. We designed it to pair well with headers also as it's the progression most of our customers make in their quest for maximum enjoyment with minimal drawbacks. It can be a surprise to some to add headers to their great sounding rear exhaust only to have it begin to drone as that exhaust was not designed around header use, and we made every effort to avoid that. As always, everyone's opinions and tolerances are different, we're always here to chat if you're on the fence to make sure you get what you're looking for. If ultimately the combination doesn't meet the mark for you, we're return friendly - we just ask that you give us the opportunity for a discussion on your goals before you take the shot. -Mike

I think the Soul /Remus combination will sound fantastic, but I can't speak to the drone issue. Either way, I recommend the Soul headers . Try it, and if it's tolerable, drone-wise, then you're good to go. If not, I'm sure you can pick up a take-off factory cat-back exhaust on the cheap. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Nah... I can then buy it patina-ed and used from Jkay

@Soul Performance Products Hi Mike- if you still need this I can assist. I have done a number of YouTube car videos and have a binaural audio setup to capture some nice clips. 987.2 base. “If anyone is able to get us a good selection of high quality video clips that I can assemble into a video, I can extend a marketing initiative to anyone who would be interested in helping us make a video for the Long Tube Street Headers alone”

Happy work with you! Please send an email to [email removed] explaining this and he can set you up! -Mike
