Headers are a great option to allow more of the flat six sound through while increasing response. The issue is you are in CA and altering the catalytic converters is pretty much forbidden by CARB. The rear exhaust is fair game.

Here is a comparison between our Valved Exhaust and the factory system for reference on how the sound would change:

 

 

SOUL gets my vote and will get my money, quality components and man that sound is awesome!

 

Thank you!

Fabspeed Race Headers with the stock PSE. I also added a cobb tune.

What I like about it is, with the exhaust open its LOUD! When closed it is pretty quiet. Not Toyota quiet, but quiet enough.

 

And can it pass emissions? I like loud...

 

Race Headers are catless and wouldn't pass emissions as they delete the cats, but our Street Headers with HJS 200 cell cats would make a significant gain and should pass emissions without issue in states that do not require CARB visual certification like CA. As you are in TX, you should be okay. Something else you can consider is how often you have emissions. Headers are a relative breeze to swap on and off on these cars, so you can swap back from race headers to stock for emissions if you so choose. Race headers would require a tune to turn off the CEL for catalyst inefficiency, which we can arrange for you as well. Our street headers with the HJS cats shouldn't have a CEL and therefore a tune isn't required for those.

Here is a good reference video of catless race headers and factory PSE on my Cayman R. It is a superb combination, and I have thousands of miles of seat time with the combination if you have any questions.

Do street headers and 200 cell cats as suggested and continue as stated above and you will have no problems. Just save the old parts you took off the car.........

 

Agreed, as long as you don't track the car...…..
