Ok, seems that most people like these. Now do you guys still have the stock headers in place with these on or you running different headers?

On a side note, please look at this recent update regarding Fabspeed products.

Fabspeed has a new video uploaded for the 986 S. They do an interesting test where they install hardware "adding one piece at a time" from exhaust, headers, BMC air filter, EVO intakek, and then finally, an ECU reflash.

Total cost - a whopping $4795

Total HP gains - 229 stock
241 w/ headers & sport cats
245 w/ BMC (good value - 4hp for about 100 bucks)
247 w/ EVO (not a good value whatsoever)
252 w/ ecu reflash and all above hardware installed

Total Gains - a whopping 23 hp
Total price per hp - just under 210 bucks each

See video here:

FYI - Turbowerx headers cost 800 and hp gains on a 986 S 3.2 motor is 22hp

Don't you guys find this interesting? Hell, I'll "splurge" and add a BMC filter too.

For 1500 bucks, I can have the headers, by-pass pipes, and the bmc while I take the rest and spend it on my family at a 5 star resort in the cayman's......
