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.
