Porsche 911 SOUL Sport Cats DIY: More SOUND and POWER! (991.2)

[@WhatsyourForte]

Those turbo noises. I could drive that all day.

[@foesfly3047]

I’m so glad we have basically the same car. I’m learning from you and enjoying your excellent attitude. Caesar’s comments were valuable.

[@TommyLGarage]

Thank you for your lovely feedback!

[@96SupraTT]

Not advised to hammer [rubber mallet included] a catalytic converter unless you plan on selling them for scrap. Break apart any of the thin ceramic substrate honeycomb inside which you can't see and they've now become an ineffective obstruction. Twisting while pressing/pulling is the proper method. Heat works well for stubborn ones. Slip-fit exhaust connections are a cost cutting OE solution which doesn't include mallets for original assembly. Aftermarket should always be v-band or at least 2 or 3-bolt flange.

[@TommyLGarage]

Good point

[@pedropaipo5159]

I think that its just perfect! the turbo sound is simply amazing, great job and congratulations! Greetings from Uruguay Tommy!

[@TommyLGarage]

Thanks and I appreciate you watching from so far away!

[@uzzisa1745]

I'm considering the soul cats for my 911.2 c4s... Really excited to watch your follow up videos. On 911uk a couple of members have said the cats really open up after a couple hundred miles.

[@89vette1]

I have these cats on my 991.2 Targa 4 GTS manual and I love them. I also added a Softronic tune and it made a Huge difference!

[@TommyLGarage]

Nice! I’m trying to resist the tune

[@thegrmcrckr488]

@@TommyLGarage .....The tune is only for the guys who want to make it quick. I like your resistance. On the other hand. Resistance is futile

[@atallah24]

that turbo spool sound so nice!

[@TommyLGarage]

I agree!

[@YookGears]

Can you make your videos with a pov view? Like a go pro strapped on your head, I really enjoy pov videos of manual shifting. Thanks!

[@TommyLGarage]

Will do!

that turbo sound

Doesn’t get old

[@MichaelNNguyen]

Ceaser aka The Porsche Experts: this is a hard job. Tommy: this will be an easy job Me: Ceaser don't know Tommy 🤣😂😏

[@TommyLGarage]

Hahaha exactly !!!!

[@rugu6869]

Sounds great! I should know, I have Soul headers and sport cats on my car too. It is a perfect setup with zero drone and if you're not in Sport or Sport+ it's quiet and you can have a nice conversation with the family at highway speeds.

[@SoulPerformanceProducts]

Cheers! :) -Mike

[@TommyLGarage]

It’s such a cool combo!

[@uzzisa1745]

Did you get a CEL with either?? Or are you running a tune?

[@rugu6869]

@@uzzisa1745 I did not have any issues with a CEL. I don't have a tune ATM. Will change soon.

[@SoulPerformanceProducts]

@@uzzisa1745 you should expect no CEL with our Sport Catalytic Converters!

[@j.3854]

I definitely picture Wolfgang from the local Porsche Dealer using these same smooth tactics to install sport cats. 😂

[@TommyLGarage]

Haha touché

[@seangso]

Hey Tommy that spots cat sounds amazing, i did the sports cat and MST aire induction kits on my F32 440i.

[@geterdunn2733]

Hey Tommy, another fun video, really enjoyed watching. Have you considered an after market intercooler, i.e. the CSF Intercooler and or the IDP Plenum upgrade? I haven't done them, I'm doing the homework. Seems each one helps focusing on allowing the car to breath better and run a little cooler .

[@TommyLGarage]

Thanks for the kind words. Temps never go out of spec so I don’t see the need to be honest.

[@geterdunn2733]

@@TommyLGarage Makes sense. How about now that you've tuned your car. How are the temps looking? Curious if you've noticed how much temps have increased, oil included? I'm still having fun with the research, including tunes from different companies, i.e APR, M-Eng. Cobb Tuning.

[@WhoScopes]

what an unexpected collaboration, i love how his GTS sounds with the Kline exhaust. i watch hid vids every few weeks, tempts me to sell my 997.2 and go turbocharged tbh

[@TommyLGarage]

991.2 is an amazing platform !

[@aconfusedazn]

Reminds me of my M2 with the pops and bangs now.

[@TommyLGarage]

Pops and bangs can be easily disabled in sport +. Gotta love it

[@kylekam6879]

It sounds amazing 10/10

[@TommyLGarage]

Thanks!!

[@Moondogg28]

Schley Products 67750 Oxygen Sensor Wrench is perfect for this. Makes that part super easy. Also, using a screw jack, unbolt the two motor mounts and lower the engine for more room on top

[@mikebellows754]

Sounds great Tommy. Loving the Porsche content. So is the F80 gone or just being camera shy lately??

[@TommyLGarage]

Thanks! Fleet update soon :)

[@AutoAmateur]

How did you remove and reinstall the vacuum lines on the exhaust valves? Do they just pull off and snap back on?

[@TommyLGarage]

Yes. Pry really hard and they will pop off

[@AutoAmateur]

@@TommyLGarage Thanks!

[@bdoggery]

Nicely done sir!

[@TommyLGarage]

Thanks!

[@kachm3]

Sounds awesome

[@TommyLGarage]

Thanks! I agree

[@leekindell9937]

I’m gonna do my turbo s. But change back box too

[@TommyLGarage]

There is really no need. The back box when it’s open it’s pretty much a straight pipe.

[@danihellz]

What that backseat you’re using? :) love the turbo spool sound!

[@MR_equis]

Hey Tommy, I'm looking to get into a 991.2 also but planning which model/exhaust route to go. I like the sounds of the PSE but not a fan of the tips. Was wondering what is their ID diameter to see about finding some replacement without paying P-Car tax.

[@Bardia-Afshar]

Hey, I’m planning to change the whole system. At the end of the video you mentioned something about the ECU adjustment. Did you have to go to dealer or just any garage is able to do so. And other thing, besides the fun part, would you suggest that I should do it or if find a garage with a reasonable price, which is the best option?

[@TommyLGarage]

Not all all. The system will adjust to the new cats. No need for any dealer visits. You’ll be fine and will move it!

[@foesfly3047]

I’ve watched this video And the one for the headers. Excuse if I missed you saying but, are you going to upgrade the muffler as well?

[@TommyLGarage]

Not sure if I will. Once the valves are open it becomes a straight pipe exhaust.

[@aaronbell5743]

Any reason you didn't go cat less?

[@TommyLGarage]

I don’t like the smell

[@heguk1130]

Please tell me the brand and product name of the baby seat

Sorry if someone already asked this I didn’t see it but I’m considering this on my 991.2 GTS any check engine light issue long term?

[@TommyLGarage]

No check engine light at all. Do it !

[@TLDCR531]

Hey Tommy…can you tell me why you decided to go the 200 cell route vs the cat bypass pipes that Caesar has on his 991.2 GTS? Was it because you didn’t want to deal with the check engine light? Smell?

[@TommyLGarage]

I also didn’t want a tune

[@TLDCR531]

@@TommyLGarage you NEED to tune your T!!

[@mnturbo]

Is a tune required after installing a cat delete? Did you get a check engine light?

[@TommyLGarage]

Catless - yes you need a tune. With my setup - no tune needed.

[@jthurmond7]

Any issues with passing emission testing with a high flow?

[@TommyLGarage]

None at all.

How much more HP you get only with the cats without software?

So much easier if you take of the rear bumper lol ....

With the valves open it practically is! The factory 991.2 Carrera PSE muffler is designed quite well!

@@SoulPerformanceProducts You left the factory muffler in place didn't you? Well designed or not.
