What's the best headers hands down for 3.4L (HP gains)
 
What's the best headers hands down for 3.4L (brands, hp gains, price)

Yes I know it won't gain much, our 3.4L N/A won't get the most gains unless taking the route of force induction. Some headers are way too expensive for the results and some may decrease hp.

So what's the best?

3.6 factory headers. I have a pair with less than 16k miles sitting in my garage if interested.

Thanks guys. 3.6 factory? what's the significant differences from 3.4 factory?

My setup right now is Fabspeed X pipe cat bypass (straight pipes) no resonators at all and Fabspeed muffler bypass.

So it's very loud and want to put a pair of headers to make it louder.

Insane? Yes. It's music to my ears.

I have stock 3.4 headers...

Fabspeed, mine is a 3.6 with fabspeed headers, bipass and fabspeed exhaust. Car is as loud as a race car and I love every db of it!! Has a nice back pressure crackle. A few friends have even seen a small flame pop out. I honestly wouldn't go with another company. Idk the HP or tourque can but, I can feel the difference and that is good enough for me

I don't know the HP or torque gain* sorry I am posting from my phone and let's just say its not as high end as my Porsche lol. This stupid phone auto corrects everything wrong lol and I don't re read my posts before I send them.

None. Stay with your stock exhaust manifolds and change the Cats to a good 200 cell.

Nine_eleven I wouldn't trade my exhaust for no other. It pisses my neighbors off but, hey that's not my problem lol. When I pull the Porsche out I get calls from all my friends telling me they can hear me in town. It gives the car the aggressive sound it needs. I go to limerock park every year for the lemans races and when I take my car on the track for the parade lap people literally cheer for the sound of my car. Other Porsche owners always come up to me after the lap and ask me where I got my exhaust. I've literally caught people looking under my car to see what I have.
