I'm on a bit of a budget and fabspeeds seem to be $2500. Are there any others out there a bit more economical? I'm in a 2010 911S.

 

Try NHP. I believe Maxspeed carries them. I don't think they are HJS made, but according to NHP, they are very similar in quality.

 

i saw some on ebay also for about 1k

 

Thx guys.. Is it showing that they really only make about 10hp.. What is the real point then, noise and a little power? If that's the case, wouldn't it just make sense to buy a $600 exhaust or do the gundo hack? Many really are happy with the 200 cell cat pipes though.

 

With any NA engine, horsepower gains will be incremental and expensive for what you get. There are no cheap bolt ons that will add 100 hp.

The only way to really boost HP is to either add forced induction (Turbo or Super charger) or to chip your existing Turbo.

 

Your not gonna get a big of gain in HP, but it makes the car sound MUCH better. I had exhaust put on first, it sounded a little better but still kind of weak. Then I put the cats/headers and the car now sounds awesome.

 

No one seems to make a header for a 997.2 though..

 

I don't think the headers did much... I just planned on changing them at some point, so I did it with the cats to save some of the labor cost. I'm pretty sure the cats are what made the biggest difference.
