Currently have PSE and Fabspeed X pipe installed. Considering some 200 cell headers/cats. What's available out there? I know Fabspeed has some. Anyone else...anything NOT pushing $3000?

 

All I've seen is the cat/header combo like the stock setup or the headers that eliminate the cats altogether. The later is cheaper, but even with the O2 sensor adapters installed I think you will eventually trip a check engine light. the legal headers will push at least $2500.

I don't know if the HP gain is worth the cost.

 

Check with Rhonda @ FVD. I believe M&M makes a good Headers/Cats combo for the 997.2. M&M makes exhaust systems for Porsche Motorsports. Irregardless, you will need to do a remap of your ECU to maximize the mods.

 

Thanks. Ya thinking more sound, some performance, probably a tune. We don't have inspections in KS so I could just run race headers. $2500 I agree is too much and I probably wouldn't do that. But if I could find some take offs or something cheaper it might be fun to mess with.

 

Porsche OEM X51 headers new are under $1200, even less used if you can find them. NHP makes a really nice clone of the X51 headers too. It's a real nice upgrade from stock headers, especially with 200 cell cats and a tune. Of course this assumes your car did not come from the factory with the X51 power option.

 

You can buy x51 headers for a .2 car???

 

My bad, missed the .2 part. PET diagrams show the cats and headers are one piece for a .2 vehicle. Perhaps this is why they are so expensive.

 

I've been looking at headers for my .2 as well. As you saying FVD headers are made by M&M? 3 different options on their website, 100 cell, 200 cell and 200 cell HD. Anyone has experience with any of the options?
