We are development partners with Cobb and they sponsor our two Conti ST cars. I will be happy to assist you guys with any Cobb tuning related stuff for the 981 platform. Shoot me an email info@rennsport-one.com

I have the cargraphics headers on my Cayman S (same header as GT4) and my dealer just pointed out a hairline crack when I had it in for service this week. I bought them in August of last year. I notified the place I bought them from yesterday and I'm waiting to hear back on what the replacement process will be. I'll end up eating the labor costs for removal/reinstall but I'm fine with that as long as they send me a new set. Will let everybody know how it turns out.

I appreciate the offer to help bud but we support all customers with tuning that purchase parts from us; even the folks at Cobb will agree that by this point, i've logged an endless amount of time with their software making some crazy files for these cars and the standard 981s. I wouldn't feel right selling parts to someone without offering tuning support as well.

Please let me know ASAP whether i sold these manifolds to you or not. I am in daily contact with the factory in Germany and if there was a failure, i would like to know because it would be the first one we have seen. Please keep me posted by either emailing me directly or calling the shop on Monday. Thank you.

They have had full control for a while. We have access now to tables that several other tuners have been locked out of for years. Their software is the most invasive tuning software the Porsche market has ever seen. It's wide open at this point with the ability to do some rather awesome stuff.

I was referring specifically to the ecu counter and the ability to reset it so that it can be invisible once uninstalled and taken in for warranty service.

John - I didn't buy them from you. I think you were out of the group buy slots at that point. The reseller has reached out to Cargraphic and I'm waiting to hear back.

In my experience recently, John has more knowledge about getting these cars running properly than the Cobb team. He has the largest portfolio of experience with the cayman and the GT4 of any vendor on here - by far.

Had Short conversation with John over the phone regarding cargraphic headers - such a gentleman and informative. I will be soon getting mine sports version straight pipes and tune as i will use more for track primarily.

Somehow i missed this. Thanks for the praise my man! I just want everyone to be happy with their cars whether we sold you the parts or we are just a vendor for parts sold by other shops. If everyone is happy with their Cobb tunes, their IPD plenums, their Cargraphic exhaust bits, whether you bought them here or not, it's in my interest to try and monitor the quality control!

Anybody looking to add some Cargraphic goodness, without the 4-6 week wait? I have a shipment inbound early next week, and looks like I will have a few sets that are unspoken for at the moment!

1x - 981 Sport Manifolds
2x - 981 Race Manifolds

As always, please PM or call us for special Rennlister pricing!

Wray and Company are the best! I bought mine from them. Here is my Dyno with the Cargraphic Headers in the Sport Cat configuration with NO tune. And the sound is intoxicating!

If you can....do the COBB with a tune from John at BGB, you wont regret it and will fix some areas on that dyno chart.

I would love too! I haven't decided yet if I want to jeopardize the warranty. For now, I am just leaving the ECU stock and happy with the extra gains (especially the torque) the headers gave me. And that was the point of the post (to show that the headers alone are beneficial). Yes, add a tune and more goodies with an amazing shop like BGB, and you can drive out of there with 100 plus HP/Torque smooth Dyno gains ;-)...with no regrets!
