The GT4 Gets An Over Axle Pipe Exhaust From Soul Performance Exhaust

[@teglover101]

I've seen enough Goonzquad videos to know those guys are pretty humble and talented. That comment may have been a tad harsh. My guess is their videos just cater to a different audience.

[@branman65]

Thank you I feel the same way. Probably one of the most disrespectful things that has been said on this channel.

Yeah, they are young and talented folks. I love them :) sometimes I cringe because they aren't doing something super exactly ammm obsessed but it's great to watch them learn everything themselves, like assembling overrated armytrix exhaust for a nice car :D

[@seanstolarik8744]

Goonzquad rebuilds things from the ground up and are very talented and rarely outsource anything except framework due to not having a frame table. Matt can't change a mirror without messing it up...

Hate to say it but Matt jinxed himself when he said “this should be a straight forward install”. It was at that moment I knew the gosh dangs were going to be in full force 🤣

[@peterpavlidakey8343]

I think soul talked about it's the same GPF but there is no back sensor. Hence the bubble on the back of the filter on the sides. The euro spec has that area cut and fitted with the spot for the sensor

[@joetacchino4470]

Damn, that sounds good. I wasn’t really a fan of how “grunty” the stock engine is. But opening it up sounds REALLY good. You can definitely hear it’s not as high pitched as the 981 (which is just a 991.1 Carrera S engine) nor of the GT3’s 4.0 liter. I think it sounds a lot like an air cooled race car. Wicked.

[@ObsessedGarage]

It's still a little hollow sounding. I made an in-car video today that will be up tomorrow. I also disconnected the valves.

[@ericlim7994]

@@ObsessedGarage From what I've heard, I prefer aftermarket 718 GT4 to aftermarket 981 GT4 but agree that the 981 has it over the 718 if you compare stock to stock. The 981 is overall too raspy sounding for my tastes, and I also dislike pops and crackles.

[@Azspeedin]

Likely that when you were reversing that stud it caught a burr and pulled it into the threads, causing it to bind and snap.

I'm talking about comparing young guys janking crap together having anything to do with what I'm pursuing and that being irrelevant.

[@Firehawk968]

The US has filters it’s just unmonitored so no ECU adjustments needed when removed

[@bmahoney1568]

You should have wrapped the pipe with thermal insulation. The cayman engine bays get very hot and the motors heat soak. Secondly, the heat coming off the down pipe can heat up the brakes/brake lines, which also can be an issue draining on track.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I get that, but we should be fine on the street.

[@jmartprjmartpr9944]

@@ObsessedGarage Since you took out that stupid gas filter the system wont heat up as much. Never had a problem like that on my 981 GT4 on the track with a full GT3 exhaust conversion doubt the 718 will be any different once you do the mid pipe swap.

[@ObsessedGarage]

That would help, but they weren't too bad.

[@brendanzhang6330]

Matt, the US market cars have exactly the same filter as EU cars, the only difference is that in the US the filters are unmonitored. I.e no CEL

[@mathiasnessim7624]

Very good video as usual. Don't you have to do an ECU tune since you deleted the OPFs ?

Not on this car. As per other comments, we don't have a sensor for the OPF in US, so no CEL for removal.

[@FredSHerr]

[@jeffreykilpatrick3592]

Sounded like with the oem rear unit and the soul OAP that you were getting some burbles and pops style backfires - was this true??? Do you think the OAP needs heat shielding like the akropovic and Flat6 heat shielded OAP name sake product?

[@joshgorman4521]

"This should come right out"... Famous last words Also on an unrelated note is the GT4 ironically the new GT3? If you think about it the price is about where GT3's of old sat, the newer ones have huge price tags along with huge amounts of depreciation. To me the GT3 was an aspirational sports car, but it was attainable for the "common" person who worked really hard. Now it's become a stretch for those folks, it's almost into supercar territory.

[@jeebus2121]

Is the depreciation only with the 991.1? I could understand that depreciation for lack of transmission options, the few that caught on fire, and the successor having more power, a new engine, and a manual.

[@BillLee3]

Hi, Matt. Just got a GTS 4.0. I'm currently doing the Soul valve controller and considering doing the resonated Soul OAP. This is sort of a daily driver (also have company car), but that just means I don't want too much drone, that I gotta keep it somewhat quiet in the neighboorhood and I want to be able to close the valve and listen to the stereo when just cruising on the freeway. OTOH, during much of my driving Id like to open up the PSE and hear her sing. Is doing OAP only viable for that?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I would definitely do nonres. Your valve controller will give you full control.

[@BillLee3]

@@ObsessedGarage Oh, really? I was being nudged toward the res version. As long as it doesn’t make the car uncomfortable when I am choosing to run quiet I’ll probably move forward. Thanks.

[@rmk1283]

Never had a Porsche but on the list for next yr or so. Does doing any exhaust work void the warranty? Just curious where Porsche would draw the line on modifications.

[@cnibbana]

Why didn’t you do a before and after on the exhaust sound? Also, did you answer whether the US spec OPF filters are hollow or actual filters?

[@henriwhiteman1630]

Who makes that silver pry bar? I want one! Looks similar to the fingernail pry tool

[@Goflyingbear]

Well shit, I'm doing the same install. Passenger side removal and install was fine. Driver side one of upper studs got jammed while backing out. Letting it soak in PB blaster right now, but I think I might have to cut the stud like you did, or pull the rear bumper and exhaust off. :(

Hi Matt. I'm a 718 Cayman GT4 owner (also Gentian blue), I installed the Akrapovic Slip-On Race Line (rear silencer) and the Link-Pipe set (= over-axle pipes) and the sound was CRAZY ! I had to put the stock over-axle pipes back because of sound regulation at Spa Francorchamps. But you definitely should consider this exhaust made of titanium. And as you are even more meticulous than me, the astonishing build quality of Akrapovic will make you happy !

Your response reminds me of the tone that I’ve seen come back from all of the Tesla fan-boys whenever someone points out anything that isn’t glowingly positive about that shrine... if Matt really doesn’t want people to know what he’s talking about in these types of videos, he shouldn’t even bother with the car being there then 🙄!

Archie Hamilton Racing showcased the full JCR system on the 718 GT4 and was high pitched and raspy not good sounding(AKG K553 PRO headphones), but Cars with Luke had a JCR setup that sounded good.
