Default PHX - shop to install headers?
Besides the local Porsche dealers, has anyone used a good shop to do headers? I’ve googled a few but I’d like to hear from forum members. Thanks in advance 👍🏻

Depends on where in the valley you are.
Places I would suggest include McIlvain Motors, Race Technik, Beck's European and Parts Score.

Probably could tackle it yourself too.

I think Dan at Vivid Racing could be a consideration. He is also a member here on the forums I believe DM1

Thanks for the leads. I’ll give these guys a call. I’d love to do it myself but at the moment my work schedule leaves little time for tinkering. Money buys back a little time and sometimes that makes the most sense 👍🏻

If you can get under the car isn't it just unbolting and bolting back up?

Have not used Apex Customs but talked to them and they do seem quite capable

Goodspeed did great work on my Subaru when I was in town, including a header install (+ ceramic coating to keep the AZ heat at bay), and they always had a Porsche or two in the shop. In North Scottsdale, near the McLaren dealer. Also handle Cobb Accessport dyno tuning to match.

When you do the swap make sure they (or you) use new OEM bolts or get a stud/nut kit (even better)......
