Product Description

The Fabspeed Sport Headers for the Porsche 997.2 Carrera (2009–2012) are a premium high-flow header upgrade that replaces the restrictive factory exhaust manifolds with equal-length primary tubes and high-velocity merge collectors engineered for improved airflow and sound. Equipped with German-imported 200-cell HJS sport catalytic converters, this performance header design enhances throttle response, broadens the usable powerband, and delivers a more aggressive, classic flat-six exhaust note while remaining compliant with catalyst-equipped street use in many regions. Dyno testing shows notable gains in mid-range horsepower and torque, along with reduced rear-end weight compared to stock. These headers are ideal for enthusiasts looking to extract more performance from their naturally aspirated 997.2 with a bolt-on solution that preserves emissions functionality and reliability.

Fitment Notes

  • Fits Porsche 911 Carrera (997.2) including Carrera and Carrera S models from 2009 through 2012. 

  • 2012 model year caution: Verify that the vehicle is a 997.2 and not a 991, as 2012 was a transition year. 

  • Includes high-flow sport catalytic converters that are more efficient than stock but may not be emissions-legal in all regions — check local regulations before installation. 

  • Direct bolt-on replacement for the OEM exhaust headers with no cutting or fabrication required on properly equipped 997.2 Carrera exhaust systems.

Included

  • Pair of sport performance headers with integrated high-flow 200-cell HJS sport catalytic converters.

  • Multi-layer exhaust manifold gaskets for leak-free installation. 

  • Direct-fit hardware designed to align with OEM mounting points. 

Product Specs

  • Material: Mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel for durability and high-temperature performance. 

  • Design: Equal-length primary tubes with 3-into-1 high-velocity merge collectors for optimized scavenging. 

  • Catalytic Converters: German-imported 200-cell sport cats engineered for high flow with minimal pressure drop. 

  • Weight Reduction: Approximately 4 lbs lighter than the factory header section. 

  • Power Gains: Tested gains of up to +13 whp and +16 ft-lbs torque at 4500 RPM, retained through higher rev ranges. 

Product Features

  • High-flow sport catalytic converters maintain emissions equipment while improving exhaust flow and sound compared to stock.

  • Improved mid-range power and torque enhancing everyday performance and responsiveness.

  • Classic flat-six sound profile with enriched volume and character across the RPM range.
