Need a stock set of Cayman S headers
I have my 3.6 going in and I need a set soon to see if they will fit. Does anyone have a set? Even an aftermarket set will do.
TIA

The problem is the Super charger will get in the way of the stock 3.2 headers and mine off of the 3.2 are off by 1/8 of an inch on the ports. They also fit around the SC by about the same 1/8 of an inch. I hate to have to have these fab'd up since it will cost another grand or two. The exhaust will essentially come straight out with no bends in it. That is why I am selling my Cargraphic muffler.

Hey Josh, would x51 headers work? Stephen has a set of those at the shop sitting on the shelves unused.

I do not think the X 51 headers will fit on backwards do you? I will check with my guy and ask him. Thanks for the tip.

Rep Power: 164 I honestly do not what they are going for and at this point it is a shot in the dark if they will fit or not.

Well, I just installed some fabspeed headers but wanted to keep my stock ones just in case I didn't like these. If you come up with something let me know. If you were closer I'd say lets see if they fit. Do you know of anyone with a cayman s in the area that you could do a quick install/uninstall to see if they fit.

The restrictive headers are one of the things that Porsche uses to keep the CS (and Boxster) from challenging the higher priced models. Tubing is narrow, geometry is bad for flow, and cats are very restrictive. I may be able to help, but are you sure you want to go this way if you are looking for more power?

Thank you both! Yes I am VERY concerned about the power output but the clearance is my number one issue.
Like I said the 3.6 is in and the SC'r is bolted on and now I will need to see if the Cayman S exhaust clears. I wish either of you were close as I have this listed in the regional NW section.

Jermey I have the 3.2 performance headers already but the vario cam heads line up a bit different then the X51 headers. From these pictures it looks like I can use the 911 headers but my guy says I can not due to the heads. confused????
