Thumbs up Thumbs up for Imagine Auto & for B&B headers!

Having just bought and fitted a set of B&B headers to my 965, I'd just like to say a big thank you to Stephen Kaspar at Imagine Auto.

I was very sceptical as to the quality and fit of the B&Bs (after the problems encountered by a fellow UK owner) but after talking to Stephen I felt reassured enough to order a set from him.

Not only was the price very good (around £1,200 inc shipping, VAT and duty) but the fit and finish are first class, as was the service from Stephen.

I now know why so many Rennlisters recommend Imagine Auto.

Interested to hear your thoughts on the performance difference. What does it drive like in comparison, how many rpm sooner does it come on boost etc.

Cheers.

Hi Clint,

I don't know yet as the car is just being finished off by my tech after a top-end rebuild. I've also added an HFS and a Tial so I'm hoping to see improved spool up and a better top-end.

As soon as I get to drive it on boost, I'll let you know.

Cheers,

Tim.

No problem, it's been nearly 3 months since I've driven so I'm really keen too! I'll do a write up on here as soon as I can.

Tim,

Did you also go with the B&B final muffler (replaces cat) and B&B wastegate pipe as well ?

Rgds,

Hi John,

The car already had both the muffler and B&B wg pipe when I bought it and I have put them back on the car. They were put on it in 1995 and when my tech took them off, remarked how good their condition was, especially after 13 British winters.

I haven't got the pictures back from the re-build yet, but here are a few of shots of the rear of the car so you can see what the B&B tail pipes look like:







Cheers,

Tim.

My experience with the B&B Full System (Headers, Muffler and Wastegate Exhaust) was also hassle free, with no fitment issues whatsoever.

Technical Support from IA has also been excellent for me. This is especially important when your so far away and you want to ensure you get the best products for what your trying to achieve i.e. performance, quality and durability.

At the end of the day "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten" be it products or services.

Cheers, Mike
