Hi everyone
On the market I so many headers from many different companies but... I can't understand one thing.
Most headers price start from: 2000$ all tuners price almost same
But headers from OBX coast 280$

Why?

 

None of these are better than your stock headers, fact.
The cheaper ones use a lesser grade of steel and have fitment issues.

 

Stay away from those and also $3,000 headers from big name tuners unless you choose to go with a full 700+ HP kit. Don't waste your time and money!

 

I bought Fabspeed headers last year, I had no issue with them however I do not see any difference in terms of performance. Not worth it as other members said earlier.

 

I definitely felt a slight seat of the pants difference with my headers but mainly the sound improved and the whirl of the turbos became louder which is sweet.

 

stay with OEM headers

 

I know I just try understand the difference

 

Those headers are probably made from tin (nevermind what is says in the description) and will crack after 5 mins of use as they dont look to great IMO where as alot of tuners use T304 and above and put alot of time into testing I guess hence the expense but like others have said OEM headers are fine until you start changing turbos etc...etc....!!!


These are what I have in the link

Sooo I understand thank you all

 

I added TPC headers when I put a EP2 on based on dyno charts that should a flatter, fatter torque curve. Cost a bit more, but while that car was getting the EP2 installed seemed like a reasonable time to do it.

 

I was under the impression that aftermarket headers would be a great improvement but after readings comments, from people that clearly know more than me I have decided to keep my stocks. My 997.1 has minor modifications [Fabspeed CF intake & sports Cats with muffler by-pass. (no ECU flash) ]so header change is not worth it. Thanks for the info.

 

headers on these cars are not worth it unless your squeezing every last HP out of her...think 'ive already replaced the turbos' and then its time for headers IMO.

as a sidenote anyone wanting to test the quality of the headers, exhuast etc. and in the LA area I would gladly do it for you guys, I have a bunch of Niton guns we use to test metals all the time.
