    after market headers

    need help with finding the best headers for 99/996 coupe
    do not know who makes the best, and are there any risks involving reliability.

    Re: after market headers

    I've had some headers from FVD installed. I am very happy with the results. See the FVD website. At low Revs the sound is similar to what it was before but when punched the engine sounds like the barking of a mad dog (in a good way).

    i've heard that cargraphic makes some. as well as protomotive, a US tuner, which has some pretty significant claims.

    Call the guys at turboperformance and see what they recommend, they actually have dyno results for most of the headers out there on the market and can tell you exactly which ones will produce the best results for you. www.turboperformance.com

    Good luck, FYI, take a look at a post out there around my SC and JRZ upgrade, I made some comments around exhaust upgrades and engine performance.

    S-Car-Go make great headers. Probably the best for flat 6s. For the GT3 Cup Car they work very well, but are stupid expensive. At the end of the day, everything is stupid expensive for that car....

    praise da lord.... I luv the s cargo headers being a complete looney I tried all the above mentioned on my boxster S as well as my 996 c4 and millenium car. By FAR the S Cargo headers are better made and actually pick up torque and sound great. would not really waste my time with the others.
