Soul Performance Long-Tube Exhaust Headers for Porsche 991.1 Carrera (2012–2016)

Description

The Soul Performance Long Tube Street Headers for the Porsche 991.1 Carrera (2012–2016) are a precision-engineered exhaust upgrade that replaces the restrictive stock manifolds with long tube headers built around free-flowing catalytic converters to improve throttle response, mid-range torque, and overall engine performance. Designed specifically for the 991.1 platform, these headers use optimized runner sizing and merge technology to enhance exhaust scavenging and deliver a richer, more dynamic flat-six soundtrack at cruise and under load. Independent dyno testing shows meaningful gains in power and torque throughout the rev range, especially in mid-RPMs where street driving spends most of its time. Constructed from premium T304L stainless steel and backed by Soul’s lifetime warranty for street and track use, this set offers a significant performance step up without sacrificing reliability.
