What is the difference between the Sport Cats and Race Pipes configurations?

The HJS 200-cell Sport Cats are the street configuration: they flow roughly 93 percent of a straight pipe, keep the check engine light off, and are designed to be EPA compliant. The Race Pipes are a competition pipe section for closed-course track use only. Because the RENNKRAFT design is modular, you can run either through the quick-release V-band connector.

How much horsepower do the Fabspeed RENNKRAFT Modular Headers add?

The Fabspeed RENNKRAFT Modular Headers add 25 HP and 20 ft-lb of torque, the largest single gain of any bolt-on in the 987.2 exhaust range. The F1-style high-velocity merge collectors and free-flowing HJS Sport Cats do the work, and no ECU tune is required to run the sport configuration.

Will the headers cause a check engine light or fail emissions?

No, in the Sport Cats configuration. The HJS 200-cell Sport Cats scrub enough emissions to prevent a check engine light and are designed to be EPA compliant, with no tune required. The competition pipe configuration is for closed-course track use only, so check your local and state emissions laws before choosing it.

Do these headers fit both the base and S models of the 987.2 Boxster and Cayman?

Yes. They fit the 2009-2012 Porsche 987.2 Boxster, Boxster S, Boxster Spyder, Cayman, Cayman R, and Cayman S. Fabspeed shaped them from 3D scans of the factory headers for exact bolt-on fitment, and they work with the 2.9L or the 3.4L flat-six and any aftermarket exhaust designed for the factory headers.

Are the HJS Sport Cats genuine?

Yes. Fabspeed is HJS Emission Technology's exclusive importer for North and South America, so the Sport Cats are genuine HD tri-metallic 200-cell EURO 6 homologated units shipped direct from Germany. They are chosen for high flow, emissions scrubbing, and long-term durability, and the whole header is backed by Fabspeed's Lifetime Warranty.

Are the headers a bolt-on, and can the Sport Cats be replaced?

Yes. The headers are a direct bolt-on shaped from OEM scans, and Fabspeed provides an install video, though header work is more involved than a muffler swap. Thanks to the patented modular V-band design, if the Sport Cats ever wear out from age, mileage, or bad fuel, only the Sport Cat section is replaced, not the entire header.

Fabspeed RENNKRAFT Modular Headers for 987.2 Porsche Boxster and Cayman

The Fabspeed RENNKRAFT Modular Headers for 987.2 Porsche Boxster and Cayman are the single biggest power upgrade you can bolt to the flat-six, built around genuine HJS German Sport Cats. RENNKRAFT, German for race power, is a US-patented modular design: a quick-release V-band connector lets you run street HJS 200-cell Sport Cats or swap in a competition pipe section for closed-course track use, without replacing the whole header. Fabspeed builds them in-house from CNC mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel, shaped from 3D scans of the factory headers for exact bolt-on fitment, with F1-style high-velocity merge collectors that add 25 HP and 20 ft-lb. Fabspeed was the first company to develop headers for the Boxster and Cayman, and it is HJS Emission Technology’s exclusive importer for the Americas, so the Sport Cats are genuine units shipped direct from Germany.

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.
