We stock cats as well, no before and after dyno sheets yet, let me see if I can dig a couple up.

Offer is good until supply runs out!, we still have a number of sets left.

Not that this is your parts but here is the dyno from the ebay headers and exhaust that was on 986Forum. The headers made the most power the exhaust a little bit.

Base WHP: 169.27 With Headers: 179.27 With Headers & Muffler: 184.24

Base Torque: 147.91 With Headers: 165.85 With Headers & Muffler: 165.92

So, by swapping out the headers and the muffler, I gained almost 15 HP and 18 pounds of torque. The "butt dyno" feels it a little, but the ears hear the rumble far more.
These headers will do basically the same thing they are all of the same design as long as a proper collector is made. I would acctually like to see the inside of your collector to see how it is made. I build turbo manifolds and have messed with a lot of designs and know what works and doesnt. Care to share a pic?

Also where are your headers manufacturered?

hmmmmm, these ebay headers (follow 986forum.com link) look exactly the same and are cheaper.

READ THIS!

All those eBay auctions with the headers/exhaust and short shift kits are all made by Top Speed in Texas. All they do is clone other companys designs(B & M for example) and make minor changes,minor enough so someone can't sue them. With the short shift kit they flipped the shaft connecting the shift ****/boot to the shift 180 degrees....Funny how you can remove the shaft,flip it back 180 degrees and whamo! IT'S THE SAME AS THE B & M!

are you inferring that their product is inferior? BTW schnell makes a clone SSK too.
all i was saying was that the pictures from iA were the same as those from ebay. i have no affiliation with the ebay seller. just passing on info.

I'm not saying that one is inferior to the other but I'm stating what I know from first hand. I have seen both the B & M SSK and the eBay clone(made by Top Speed) and I know that Top Speed cloned the B & M,just ask any employee at Top Speed,they are hesitant to answer any questions regarding such. Funny how all of those eBay sellers with the eBay clone SSK are from Addison, Texas, where by "pure luck" happens to be right where Top Speed is located. The eBay SSK clones are sold along with the headers and cat back exhaust systems by the same sellers. I wouldn't be shocked if Top Speed cloned one of iA products.

*Now a question for Jeremy of iA,a couple of shops are telling me that headers have to be refitted several times after installation?!?! Is this true?!

What does this mean? Either they would fit or not, right? How do you mean refitted several times? Just trying to understand...

I was told the headers(not just these but headers in general) have a "break in period" where they may have to be adjusted a couple of times.
