i have them on my car.They are good .no problem with them.i used them for 400 miles and got good deal on fabspeed ones.No difference between them just the fabspeed cost 5 times more.They in my garage basicaly new if anyone interested.
And most importantly the SS so no rust compare to stock.

Fabspeed is one piece mandrel bent, these are not....would also be interesting to compare the merge collector designs. Are Fabspeed's worth 5x more? Might be if you are really interested in building an entire exhaust solution (Headers, Cats, Mufflers) that is engineered to work well together.

If you're after the shine, then by all means.

If you're after some HP increases, then I would think again. There were some guys in the past that put these on and lost HP.

The only consistent bang for buck that seems to be recognized and felt by enthusiasts and Porsche Mechanics are the X51 headers and some 997 "S" headers.

Funny how the part number under the last pic says 3.6L V6. I guess that are not made for Porsche after all.:rolleyes:

i dont even see how replacing the header helps in these cars.. its not like you're removing a restrictive catalytic converter like some cars.

i think your best bet is a 200 cell x-pipe with the mufflers of your choice (even factory is just fine)
