yeah they are probably crap. I guess these are too=

the factory exhaust manifolds look like they would flow pretty good anyways. spending $2-300 on headers for a street car probably wouldn't even be felt.

Now, chances are these are poorly made with low quality materials, but hey, it'd be a nice sound for a couple hundred bucks and maybe you'll get the good one out of the batch, never know.

You are thinking of the stock 997 headers I think. The factory 996 headers look damn near identical the 997 X51 headers.

pls i don't want to be banned by fellow rennlister for doing nothing wrong.
the sound is much better when it's driving down the road at 90mph.

just checkin back in on my thread;
ive been under the car to put modded mufflers on and i must say the stock headers are well headers! and tubular all the way to the collector. however i didnt measure the primary tube diameter or collector diameter. (which is how headers make their power, and flow) so until someone who races chimes in and knows for a fact i will just keep what i got.

My exhaust note did not sound mean until after the flash. I have evo intake, Fabspeed headers and mufflers with stock cats. The original setup was only muffler and intake. Headers went in and sounded deeper but felt mid range torque was lost somewhat. After the flash, the engine is strong through out the RPM range.

for $95 the headers weren't bad, the sound without headers was more subdued.
definitely to get it sounding more exotic it needs to be higher pitched.
