The fact is that the headers are still not the lowest point on the car. I've seen three that have made contact to ground. Two had contact with other areas of the underside besides the header during the 'event' that caused contact, and the third backed into a curb.

For a first product first year, I think we've done well. We've exceeded my expectation, but 'incredible' is too subjective for my taste. I will say I'm humbled by the feedback, support, and acceptance we've had for our products.

The product validation was done long ago, before release to the public. I am perfectly happy with what we bring and where we stand in the market. Most importantly customers are happy with the purchase they've made, and feel it has brought them additional value.

Couple degrees of bend and trim modification. If you were to look at two sets side-by-side you could not tell the difference unless you put a height gauge on them. It brings that particular primary up ~1/4".

Is your current inventory for sale with those changes?

I am gonna dyno my carrera T Friday and will post the results. Sound is different then just having Akrapovic cats and pipe. Butt dyno on the top end deffo feels a difference. I am happy with the purchase and the way the order process went. I am using the same dyno I used after the Akrapovic install. The magic number was 383 so lets see what they give me.
Stay tuned

Does the 991.2 require a 4 wheel dyno (or what ever they are called)? Sorry for the dumb question - I came over from the Corvette world and am not up on the Porsche stuff.

Apparently, with the rwd 991.2s, there's some dyno mode you can put the car into so it won't freak out when the rears are spinning but not the fronts. But a safe bet is an awd dyno with the rollers linked.

4 wheel dyno is not needed unless its AWD. For RWD, just disable traction control and go for it in 4th gear! You will get lights on for abs, traction and one or two others. They all self clear within 5 mins of driving and all 4 wheels turning at the same time. If you want to avoid the lights altoghther, then a 4 wheel dyno should work out fine.
