Product Description

The Fabspeed Porsche 997 Carrera Sport Headers transform the flat-six’s exhaust flow with precision-engineered equal-length primary tubes that reduce backpressure and improve exhaust scavenging. Designed specifically for the 2005–2008 997 Carrera and Carrera S, these headers increase mid-range torque and broaden the usable powerband while preserving daily drivability. Dynamometer testing shows noticeable gains in horsepower and torque, especially around common driving RPMs where the 997 loves to operate. The headers also refine the exhaust note, providing a richer, more engaging soundtrack with minimal drone. Built with mandrel-bent construction and backed by Fabspeed’s lifetime warranty, this bolt-on upgrade delivers both performance and quality you can rely on.
