I've seen the Fabspeed headers. They are a nice product indeed. However, the M&M headers use nickel throughout their design, to include the very best HJS cats that incorporate a true tri-metal configuration.

The difference between these two manufacturers is that Fabspeed constructs theirs from T304 SS and the M&M headers are constructed of T316 SS.

Ni is approx. 8-10.5% in T304.

Ni is 12% in T316. T316 is made for marine environments.

Unless you are exposing your undercarriage to salt, say in a South Florida environment, or Northeast winters, that would be the only benefit of owning the M&M headers.

Hp gains are the same +/-.

I can assure you, that there is a big difference in the quality of cats that were used. The M&M cats utilize the highest level 200 cell tri-metal design HJS has to offer. By the way, if you took the time to look at my profile you would see that I live in New England. Up here we have snow , salt, rain, oceans ect.. Not that my car ever comes out of the garage unless its sunny. :ah:

That's 15% of the value of the car on headers. Jeez.

Considering the fact that it would cost me close to 100k to replace my Boxster S with a 2010 with all of the mods my vehicle has, 3k is pocket change.
