Default Headers, headers..

Hi folks

I have the itch to modify my exhaust. I purchased a Borla exhaust which made the car too loud, so off it came. Now I am thinking headers for a bit more power out of my Carrera S. Problem is there are different styles out there, and everyone says their's is the best. Most manufacturer's have one style (running from 1200-1700), and NXP has the porsche X-51 style headers (900). Any thoughts?

For me it would be the X-51 headers.

I like the X-51 option too.

My FVD header is the best... ok. It's just exceptional. Long race pipes n 70mm vs. Stock of 63.5. Also consider 200cell cats n software remap. Get it all from one manufacturer if possible to avoid potential of lag issues associated with some mix n match components.

Keep in mind that just changing headers is probably not going to make much of a difference. In fact, it may change your torque curve a bit.

I have the nhp x51 headers on my c2s and am so far pleased with them. Good build quality, sit high just like stock so they don't scrape and noticeably more robust than the stock s headers.
