I have the Fabspeed headers as part of my Exhaust and they're great. I did the entire exhaust all at the same time though (headers, Valvetronic Mufflers, 200 cell x-cats) so I can't tell you which individual component contributed, but the end result is a great sound and the more exotic "scream" at the upper end of the tach. I've had the setup on my car since 2012 and haven't had a single issue with any of it. Quality is great and I could take it down, and polish it up to look like new again if I so desired. Here's my setup.

Cutaway heat shielding aligns with vents in RUF rear bumper so you can see the muffler valves move

I agree that if you already have the bypass and the pse that the only real alternative is changing out the header/cats. That will have an impact in sound for sure. Did this on my 997.1 (no centre muff) and it made a huge difference

Happy to hear of your experience with the headers. Could you elaborate on the difference it made for you? Anything to help fellow members make an educated decision on upgrading their cars would be very much appreciated. Always carries more weight coming from fellow owners like yourself haha
