Work of art or picturesque performance? i say both..

Hey guys,
I was over at BBI yesterday getting my front brakes(rotors/pads/etc) replaced, and while browsing around the fabrication room, i saw these gorgeous looking headers.(Betim I hope its okay i am posting this, however it's too beautiful to not share!)
I spoke to Betim about them, he was telling me that they have been dyno'ing these headers for months, constantly altering them in order to extract every bit of power.
I mentioned to him that everyone says that under 700hp cars dont need headers, which at that point he walked me over to my car and we put the headers side by side. Basically looking at the two next to eachothere i was like ---> utter disbelief.
he went on to explain the intricate design on these allows a very significant increase in flow, and the power gains he was telling me....let me put it like this...I am ordering a set GUARANTEED.
Frankly, i think i may just buy 2 sets. One for the car and one for a living room mantle piece

They change the exhaust note to a smother more uniform sound. We have a set on a GT2 and that customer actually says that his car is a bit quieter.

Keep me in loop (de-loops). Are these for 997.1s or .2s?

PS: When is your new site going up? You seriously need to show people your products outside of Huntington Beach and the occasional snap shots on 6speed...
