Best sounding headers for 997s
What are the best sounding headers and what are the best prices that anyone has seen?? I have the b&b but they don't seem to fit well with awe cats and mufflers.

AWE headers, cats, and mufflers here -- wonderful fit, great sound, fantastic performance. I don't remember the cost -- they ... cost what they cost...

I bought the E-bay/suncoast headers for$250. Changed the sound to a little raspy which is good. And they definitely added power and throttle response. Power most noticeable above 5K which is to be expected. I also have the RSS Plenum and currently have stock cats and muffler. May try APR Software soon as they are local to me.

X51 headers, AWE cats and mufflers and they sound great..

The headers came from suncoast and the cats and mufflers from awe.

FYI- Headers make little to No difference in sound. Its the muffler and cat that will effect the sound..

+1, I thought my headers did very little to the sound. It changed it a tad, but when I did the cats is when it really woke up.

I have the AWE cats and mufflers along with the x51 headers as well. Prior to that I had the ebay/suncoast headers. I personally think the car sounded better (meaner) with the ebay headers along with the AWE cats and mufflers. But there was a slight fitment issue using the ebay/suncoast headers with the AWE stuff. So I ended up selling those headers and getting the x51 headers...fit is perfect now.

I think headers do change the tune of the exhaust slightly.
If anyone is interested I have a set of ebay/suncoast headers for sale. 200+shipping.
