Not really Damian. And I have one fully polished too, waiting for my engine to be done.

I think you should carry a few sets of sun glasses Rolex. This way, people don't get blinded by the glitter in your engine compartment .

Here is a few pics too. One of the SFR unit itself, and another of it mounted on our mock-up engine, with all the other bling.

I run one. Not sure it flows better than an extrude honed factory intake, but it looks pretty cool...

That has to be the most polished 968 engine I've ever seen. I love it.

Except it's a 951, right?

I guess no one with a n/a 968 runs one then.

Damian,

I saw that when I checked the SFR link in the headers discussion. Between the manifold and the stage 2 headers, (in 321 SS, ceramic coated, dual slip fit), one could spend $4k. Not sure about that manifold, but I sure think those headers would look sweeeet on the race car. Of course, to justify that sort of expenditure ($2,800), the headers would have to be good for a 25-30 h.p. gain, which (I suspect) is unlikely.

On a NA engine, very unlikely. Turbo engine, NP.

Hi Raj,

Got a spare turbo engine lying around? Just kidding. I really like my normally aspirated 968 racer and wouldn't attempt a 3.0L turbo conversion (although the 2.5L transplant seems to work okay per Jason). What would you guesstimate the gain over my current Stahl headers would be with the SFR Stage 2 set up?


Jason,

Those SFR stage 2 headers are soooo sweet. And, you could keep the cost "reasonable" by not choosing 321 SS and ceramic coating, etc. Only problem (not a problem really), is running in power-to-weight ratio GTS Challenge, the extra h.p. will bump you up to GTS-4 in NASA. But, with the extra power, you'll have faster fun.
