Gotta save money where they can! Any mass produced vehicle, they look to save cents wherever they can.

991.2 Carrera header development is underway! Oliver is currently fixturing the stock headers to establish a few points necessary for flange fitment. We use thick gauge aluminum as it is a superior heat sink to stainless steel and it is less prone to warping during repeated use. More info to come!

Youch, my stock headers are pretty ugly!

Yeh agreed thanks for sharing, what i find most interesting is that with the valves open it appears to be quite a straight path, im surprised that the exhaust isnt much much louder with the valves open compared to closed. That cross pipe part must really have a big impact as honestly its a very quiet car even with the PSE.

They are welcome to come visit and we can show them how to do the swap with bumper on or off in 2-4 hours depending on the condition of the hardware. ![burnout](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/burnout.gif)
While we are on the subject of installations - ATTENTION please!
We've noticed an increasing amount of vehicles coming in for installs have snapped or missing turbo heat shield hardware. We highly recommend being very careful when removing the bolts and using penetrating fluid. We also recommend using anti-seize on the threads when reinstalling.

Quick question for you. What’s your favourite brand of penetrating fluid for these bolts?
I have a about three brands and they don’t seem to work equally well on all metal combinations. Thanks.

Very good point, Mike. When I installed my Soul cats, I discovered one of these shield bolts to be broken. And to think that the car had only been serviced by the dealership, prior to my purchase.

Don't take my word for it, check this vid out!
"Results: Liquid Wrench came out on top, following by ATF/Acetone, Royal Purple, WD-40, PB Blaster, and AeroKroil."
We're quickly making progress on our development headers!

FWIW I used PB Blaster and a looooonnnng soak time with great results, however I’m very open to trying the more highly recommended ones.

You're making my pup jealous!
We're making good progress. Oliver is making sure to back purge every weld to produce the quality product you come to expect from us!
