I would like to know if just adding Headers I will get some gains on a Stage 2 996tt.

Does the special merge collector accelerates exhaust flow to the turbine for faster spool up?

Does this really means better low end torque and acceleration?

Waste of money on a stage II.. you can do other things for much better HP gains

You don't pick up any more HP in the lower stages, however you do drop spool times a bit. The last set of dynos we did we drop apx 250RPM on the powerband. Not a ton, but adds drivability. Is it worth the money, well it depends on your budget. If you plan on going up HP scale then it is a piece you will eventually need and already in place. It is all about what your goals are
