I was looking at the X-51 Power kit, but I don't care about the CF air-filter housing, and the PSE can be had a bit cheaper (I hope)... so if one skips those two items, what EXACT parts are required for the same Power gain?
- Header
- New program?
Anything else?
Thanks

The rest of the parts aren't that bad. You can put together everything else for around $3k minus the cats and mufflers.

Thanks guys, I think this was discussed in the other X-51 thread as well. Like if I get ONLY the X51 Headers+PSE, do I get any HP gain?
Seems like 3-5HP gain, with a bit better breating in the mid-range, and a MUCH BETTER sound? Right?
Kinda regretting NOT getting an 06 X51 C4S I found before I bought mine. It didn't have Nav, Sports Chrono, and was not Porsche certified (mine is: 3yr more warranty), and with more milage would have cost me 10K more... wasn't sure if it was worth it... now, if I did the whole X51, I'd be spending 15K with install minimum... but I think if I ONLY did header+PSE, I could do it under $4K.

X51 is more than a header, ECu re-program, dual air intake and free flow mufflers...there is intake mainfold work and different valves and springs.

I KNOW... I need the full X51 to gain the whole 30HP... what I mean is, what can I expect if I just did X51 Headers and PSE... as that's fairly economical both parts and labour (as far as I can tell)...
