Default Sport headers, awe, sharkwerks....delicious sound

I can't wipe the grin off my face...the sound and power gain is toxic. Poor quality video but you get an idea of the sound. I hit a snag when I attempted to put the sport headers on so I took it to my dealer. The e12 header bolts were very difficult to put back in with the sport headers. I did become very familiar with the car - bumper removal and side can removal are now a breeze. My daughter helped. The techs were very excited over the mods and were waiting for the first start. There definitely was a crowd at the dealership waiting for a drive by.

The sport headers have cats but much smaller and not as restrictive! No cel!

I'm on the fence about Cats/headers. felt no power gains with my exhaust (and didn't expect to). Did you feel it with your set up? Sound difference vs just cat back?

It sounds amazing and not too much. I have two little ones in the back. Wife even said it was not as bad as my straight piped m5 v10. The real hp gain is my sport headers. Sound is a combo of headers and awe! I have very happy with the results. Fabspeed headers is really a work of art.

Wow that sounds violent! I like it!

Are you running fabspeed sport headers and then an AWE switchpath? Do you have factory side mufflers or sharkworks?

Did you have PSE?

Put up some more videos if you can. I'd love to hear more.

Thank you! The O2 spacers and the the existing wires were too short, but tech said the 02 spacers were not needed. Love the headers! Do you know the hp gain from your headers?

Did you purchase all parts new?

If so, could you provide a rough $ estimate on parts?

Kind Regards,

Depends on the model 911, but here are some graphs I have available of just their addition on a 3.4L and 3.8L X51. I know i have a graph somewhere on the 3.8L Non-X51 that is right around 25whp/wtq but track it down at the moment, when I do i'll upload it. Every 991 client I have has been more than impressed with the performance gains they've experience with the Sport Headers.

I had the Fabspeed headers and sport cats installed this week. I'm waiting for before/after pics and videos from the shop and I'll post them on a thread.
I'm happy with the sound and it feels quicker. Of course a butt dyno is the least reliable but my ears are satisfied. More later.

Do you have a stock PSE exhaust otherwise? I've been hoping to do this setup (stock PSE with fabspeed sprt headers and cats) for awhile now,just looking for some real world feedback on how it sounds.
