Hey Panameras-

Please update us on the results from a HP gain and sound/feel perspective. I talked to my local pcar mechanic and his basic answer to me was, "WHY?". You're not going to gain much HP and going to be throwing CEL codes all over the place. Our situations are different because of the integrated cat in my headers. I think I'd be much more likely to do it if we had the Euro headers here with only 2 cats.

Good luck and hope you like them.

Unfortunately, if you want headers on US Spec cars, I think the only real choices are Cargraphic and FabSpeed as they have high flow cats in the headers. Pricey, very pricey however. I do think there are power gains to be had though, considering the dismal design of the factory headers on this car.
