Default A question about headers

Do any exist that aren't fabspeed? I live in a very hot country, therefore don't need the heat. Car is undergoing surgery so might as well go with something lightweight, but I don't want fabspeed for personal reasons. Seems FVD have a few options but some have been discontinued.

Anyone have them? Can you share some pictures and your experience?

There is a billy boat system for sale in the market.

the seller is "mongo" something, forgot the username.

I am in your same shoes, looking to improve the OEM headers and not interested in the heat.

I've learned that looking good isn't enough I'm reaching out to those who've tried either and can give me some solid info

Tusche from Germany. Top end would be Fuchs from germany.
DW-technik from cologne has also as quite nice, bespoke, system available...

I went with tusche and it is great (and sounds also great)

Those definitely look good. Did you feel a major difference?

I can't find anything on their site regarding 964 headers

Sounds good. DW website is in German so I might need to drop them a line.

That thread gave me chills.. wish I had a Magnus sized budget! But that is the exact exhaust I wanted after watching his walkthrough of his 964, just assumed it was a crazy custom..I'll contact them immediately

That setup will be very loud. I think they put a muffler on his car that look was just for a show.

The FVD headers and cats are very nice. They definitely reduce the back pressure and give a few more HP. They are however very loud. And you can get a drone in the cabin.

I have the FVD and they don't drone on me and I don't think they are loud unless your at red line. I.m trying to post a sound clip. Just need my wife to shut up and hold her phone for me.
