Default 991.1 S Fabspeed Headers and Tune with Fabspeed expertune vs Cobb

I am getting ready to add fabspeed headers with a 200 cat cell. Although the soul product looks very well made the fabspeed headers seem to offer a higher pitch sound on the videos. (have not heard them in person but interested in experiences)
In addition to this I am going to add a tune.My primary interest is the throttle remapping so it is worth it to me. I spoke with Cobb and the said they do not offer a header tune map. Which tune would you guys choose cobb or fabspeed (or some other tune for a 991.1S) ?

At the end of the day I'm thinking I can grab 30HP between the tune and the headers with 200 cell cat which for the price is worthwhile. Has anyone done this with independent dyno results ?

I would do the Cobb, then have it ProTuned if need be.

I am just going to run the off the shelf tune on my car with my mods... (intake, headers, exhaust)

I actually recently check Cobb too. I have BMC filter, Soul cats and thinking about getting the header and noticed Cobb does not offer header combo tunes from their stage 2 (filter + spot cats) tune.
If I get a Cobb pro tune, does anyone know I can switch via handheld unit?

Hey Bud,

Fantastic choice!
We can doctor our in-house tune to fit your specific requests. Shoot me a PM for Forum pricing.

@Bud Taylor I can speak for the header sound, yes the car is now higher pitched more exotic sounding with the Fabspeed headers. There is a Youtube video of a guy launching his car with the headers that is an accurate representation of the sound.
