Default High quality headers suggestions

I'm looking for thoughts on builders for high quality headers for my 968 turbo. I'm open to all suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Truthfully... I think you are better off going to a custom builder for headers. The "tried and true" vendors that offer headers leave a good bit to be desired, in my experience (and I have a LOT of it).

If you want to try and make some SFR Stage II headers work, let me know, I have a 321 SS and ceramic coated set sitting on the shelf that I'd like to get rid of. They fit a 2.5 liter head fine but your application may vary...

Excellent suggestions, though I suspect we're into cubic dollars. Have you used these guys to make a set of race headers? I've been very frustrated with vendors involved with the 944 turbo world but I know I'm not alone.

Lindsey's 1 piece headers are nice but the flange surfaces were warped enough for them not to seal against the gaskets. I took them to a local shop and had the flanges ground flat for about $40 and ran a drill though the head bolt holes. Perfect sealing and fitment after that.
