Soul Competition Long Tube Headers for Porsche 997.2 Carrera (2009–2011)

Description

The Soul Performance Long Tube Competition Headers for the Porsche 997.2 Carrera (2009–2011) are a race-oriented exhaust upgrade engineered to replace the restrictive OEM manifolds with high-flow, long-tube stainless steel runners and an optimized collector design. This competition-grade set significantly improves exhaust scavenging, reduces backpressure, and enhances engine responsiveness while delivering a much more aggressive and visceral exhaust tone. Built from thick-wall T304L stainless steel and precision fabricated for direct fitment, these headers are ideal for track-focused builds or high-performance street vehicles where maximum flow and sound are prioritized. Because they remove the factory catalytic converter section, these competition headers are best suited for off-road or closed-course use and should be paired with proper ECU tuning and O2 spacers as required.

Fitment Notes

• Designed for Porsche 911 Carrera (997.2) and Carrera S (2009–2011). 

• Direct bolt-on installation to the factory exhaust ports.

• Removing factory catalytic converters may trigger a check engine light; O2 spacers or ECU tune required to prevent codes. 

• Intended for competition / track use and not emissions-legal in many regions.

• Professional installation recommended to ensure correct fitment and sensor integration. 

Included

• Pair of long tube competition headers fabricated from T304L stainless steel. 

• Precision port-matched flanges for direct fitment. 

• Installation hardware and instructions.
