Description
DEVELOPMENT: To supplement our extensive portfolio of 992 products, we are excited to announce a plug-and-play X-Pipe Exhaust System for Carrera and Turbo models, pairing with the factory catted components or any aftermarket components designed to meet the OEM rear muffler. Even on its own, this modular upgrade nets a number of immediate benefits.
By replacing the stock valved muffler with our non-valved x-pipe, the sound profile is immediately enhanced throughout the rev range as we are now able to circumvent the factory valve programming that progressively opens through about 5K RPM—now, when paired with our Valve Delete Modules, that sound is readily available from a stop and without a tune.
Other muffler replacements that simply use smaller tubing for a valves-closed flow path may deliver more low-end sound, but struggle to balance the two conditions. Opening and closing does not provide enough of an effective delta especially with factory catted components thus rendering it mostly ineffective and expensive. Our cost-conscious x-pipe system produces a reasonable tone for low-speed operation while also maximizing sound at the top of the rev range as there is not a secondary flow path harvesting residual exhaust flow. As a result, we are able to extract the most sound level possible, whether customers are intending to compound the results with other upgraded components or simply leave the factory cats in place.
Despite its simplicity, our x-pipe is anything but a straight-through design. It is developed from our Performance Exhaust System but is tailored to meet all OEM connection points whereas the former system is exclusively produced as a package. The resonated x-pipe delivers a rich, smooth, high-pitched sound with limited drone, owing to our extensive development process to manufacture a sophisticated but uncomplicated design for all turbocharged 992 customers—whether their end goals are within reach or are much loftier.
CONSTRUCTION: Each set is assembled in house in the USA out of mandrel bent, thick wall .065″” T304L stainless steel. Back purged TIG welding (with ARCAL™ Prime argon gas) ensures proper weld penetration and longevity – crucial for durability on the track. Water jet cut exhaust flanges are made to ISO 9001:2015 standards with tolerances of +/- 0.003 inches for extreme precision. We fabricate these systems using thick gauge aluminum fixtures which act as a great heat sink during the welding process and prevent warping not only of our products, but the fixtures themselves to ensure perfect fitment.
LIFETIME WARRANTY: Enjoy your SOUL exhaust components with confidence on both the street and track as they are covered by our Lifetime Warranty! Our team will quickly work with you to resolve any issues or answer any questions that you may have.
