Are the Fabspeed Long Tube Race Headers street legal?

No. The Fabspeed Long Tube Race Headers are a competition part intended for closed-course and off-road use only. They are not CARB or EPA certified, are not street legal, and will set a check engine light on OBD2 cars. Check your local, state, and federal laws before buying or installing them.

How much do the headers improve performance?

Long-tube headers are the single biggest airflow upgrade for the 987.1 flat-six, and these deliver a dramatic horsepower and torque gain across the entire RPM range. The equal-length T304 primaries and F1 and NASCAR-style merge collectors improve scavenging so the engine breathes and revs more freely, with a much harder top end.

Which cars do these headers fit?

They fit all 2005-2008 Porsche 987.1 Boxster and Cayman models, including the Boxster S and Cayman S, with the 2.7L, 3.2L, or 3.4L flat-six. They are a direct bolt-on with no cutting or welding and connect to the factory muffler or any aftermarket muffler built to OEM spec.

Are the headers a bolt-on installation?

Yes. They bolt directly in place with no cutting or welding, though header replacement is a more involved job than a muffler swap, so many owners have it done by a shop. After the first heat cycle, retighten the exhaust bolts to OEM torque to keep the header seal.

Do these headers work with my existing exhaust?

Yes, as long as your muffler is the OEM unit or an aftermarket muffler built to OEM spec. The Fabspeed Long Tube Race Headers replace the factory manifolds and connect to that muffler, so they pair with most 987.1 muffler and rear exhaust systems designed around the factory layout.

Are these headers in stock?

These headers are typically made to order rather than held in stock, so allow additional lead time when you order. Fabspeed has dyno developed the design over 16 years and builds each set in-house from T304 stainless steel, and they are backed by Fabspeed's Lifetime Warranty.

Description

Fabspeed Long Tube Race Headers for 987.1 Porsche Boxster and Cayman

Fabspeed Long Tube Race Headers for the 987.1 Porsche Boxster and Cayman are a purpose-built competition header for owners chasing every last bit of flow. Fabspeed designed them in 2004 and has refined them across 16 years of racing, and they are built in-house from equal-length T304 stainless steel with CNC mandrel-bent primaries and F1 and NASCAR-style high-velocity merge collectors that sharpen scavenging and free power across the entire rev range. Equal-length primaries keep the engine’s pulses even, which is what gives a long-tube header its signature top-end pull and hard-edged flat-six voice. These are a closed-course and off-road part, engineered for the track rather than the street, and they bolt directly to the OEM muffler or any aftermarket muffler built to OEM spec.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
