I had the Chinese set, I thought they were pretty sweet for the price. The biggest issue for a 986 is not snapping the hardware when you remove and replace. I felt that the headers improved the performance without any sacrifice other than a drone with the top up. I also had a Dansk sausage SS muffler as well. All the small tweaks on a 986 will add up to better performance, what's nice about the headers is they don't truly scream unless you are on it, which is nice for around town motoring.

Good info for rowing a 7 speed Ghosty! I had the same ???s as @Meir.

Did you flash (ECU) when you put in headers? I may have asked this in the past but am closer to doing the mod now….my little 986 is starting to come alive! If you flashed the ECU, where did you get it done, and did it effect gas mileage or drive-ability? Since you are taking away those readings from the ECU. Was the drone as bad as these ???s
