These headers increase horsepower improves throttle response and reduce rear weight versus OEM exhaust. Direct bolt-on design ensures easy replacement with superior scavenging.

Key Features

  • Precise Fitment: Fits all 986.2 Boxster and Boxster S vehicles from 2000-2004 specify model when ordering
  • Power Gains: Increases power and improves throttle response through equal-length T304 stainless steel CNC mandrel-bent tubing for better torque and engine pulsing
  • Weight Reduction: Saves weight from the rear compared to full OEM exhaust system
  • Advanced Collectors: F1-style merge collectors provide maximum exhaust flow and scavenging efficiency
  • Versatile Compatibility: Works with stock muffler or any aftermarket cat-back exhaust designed for OEM fit includes O2 sensor bungs on 2000-2004 models

Product Notes

  • After initial heat cycle tighten all exhaust bolts to OEM torque specs for proper seal
  • Racing cat bypass may trigger check engine lights on OBD2 vehicles

Installation Notes

  • Professional installation recommended.
  • Slight modifications to factory coolant line required on Tiptronic transmission vehicles use flexible stainless steel hose from AutoZone or speed shop for clearance
  • Direct replacement for OEM headers no cutting or welding needed

Headers & Manifolds

Performance headers and exhaust manifolds are among the most effective bolt-on upgrades for improving exhaust scavenging, increasing horsepower, and giving your engine a more aggressive exhaust note.
