Default Lucas Fab Headers

Starting to plan out my street to track conversion for my 2010 Cayman. Headers seem to be the only real bolt on power producer, especially with a tune. Lucas fabrication headers look like art work but has anyone used them and can compare power improvement over other brands?

See at the bottom the header option

I've never heard of them before...

Lot's of people running the Fabspeed headers with positive results. I have the race headers, no cats running through the stock PSE on my spyder & love it.

John from Fabspeed is very active here, so could probably provide you with plenty of feedback.

Actually just bought the valvetronic exhaust from John. His customer service has been great.

I like the idea of the stepped headers so I'm in the information gathering phase. Fab's headers are also on that list of options for me.

No experience with Lucas, but have heard good things. I have Fabspeed first gen catless headers on my '06 (with a 997 3.8 built to 4.2 swap), and they are by far the best bolt-on mod I have. FWIW, my engine builder said the best gains they see on their race-spec Caymans are from a full, heat-wrapped header / exhaust combo.

Whew what a crazy February! Sorry I didn't see this earlier, this oddly nice weather we are having blew up the phones haha.

Nurburger/jreifler thanks for chiming in with the kind words, it is great to see you both active and enjoying the results for our headers

Gman are you Gary F. by any chance? It is a losing battle to keep track of who is who on here haha. Regardless, you need to get a set of our Race Headers haha. The difference they make on the powercurve is ridiculous, and I can tell you that from personal experience on my own car as well as those that have chimed in already. You'll love them
