Default Fabspeed Headers

Just put on the FS headers to compliment the PES software, very nice stuff.

Those look really well built. Tempting too. But somehow in my mind headers don't really do much to a turbo car, especially in a 911 as the path is too short.

Well with a stock exhaust and ECU there probably is zero benefit. But, I have the Fabspeed quiet system plus I just did the ECU flash with PES, in that scenario one can expect 5-15hp on the big end.
It is noticable in that the car spools up a lot faster, even more so than with just the flash.
For anybody considering an ECU flash....DO IT, I am now a convert, the power is unreal! I highly recommend Tony at PES for anybody, esp on the east coast, he is technically savvy, a racer himself, in short he really knows his stuff.
I chose this ECU over the giac, no regrets, everything works!

We have plenty of headers in stock and ready to ship. Retail price of the headers for 996tt/997tt are $1,655.00 which come with copper gaskets. If anybody is interested I am feeling generous this week being it is close to the 4th of July
I will offer these for this week only for $1299.00 for any Rennlist members interested. PM me or give me a call if you are interested

Chris,

I wondered when you'd "convert". Having driven a chipped car shortly after getting mine, I knew I'd do it some day and I wondered why you were against it. Definitely a worthwhile upgrade.

I don't know much about PES, but I'll check it out. If you want a killer set-up, take a spin in AWE's 700 car. Friggin' unreal.

BTW, did you get a chance to run those P Zero corsas? Impressions?

Yes the corsas are good, not msc good but close enough for now. You really have to get them heated up, but when they do they work well,
I was always worried about warranty stuff re the chip, I had an epiphany when I put 23k miles on my car in a yr, hell the precious warranty is done in a yr anyway at this rate, plus anything that was going to break would have by now. So wtf? As far as the awe car, I don't think they like me, so that's ok.

Chris, it's not that we don't like you. You just have not yet seen the light!

I still urge you to stop by and meet with Todd and I for a tour and test drive.

It will be an eye opener. It will also be a good chance for us to clear us some things which we are sure you have been sold/told.

Trust me. It will be worth it.

Chris,

Todd and Mike are quite cuddly. Todd likes being scratched between the ears, and Mike likes his tummy rubbed.
