Do the Fabspeed Sport Headers fit my 987.2 Boxster or Cayman?

Yes. The Fabspeed Sport Headers are a direct bolt-on for the 2009-2012 Porsche Boxster, Boxster S, Cayman, and Cayman S, plus the Boxster Spyder and Cayman R, using the OEM manifold flanges. They include German-made 200-cell HJS sport catalytic converters and install with no cutting or welding.

Do these headers keep catalytic converters?

Yes. The Sport Headers come with German-made 200-cell HJS EURO 6 sport catalytic converters built on EMITEC tri-metallic cores, so they flow far more freely than the factory equipment while still treating the exhaust. That is what lets them run with no check engine light, unlike race headers that are built for closed-course use only.

Are the 987.2 Sport Headers street legal?

They include working HJS sport catalytic converters and run with no check engine light, but Fabspeed does not certify them for CARB or EPA, so they are sold for competition and off-road use and are not for sale or street use in California or other CARB-compliant states. Check your local regulations before ordering.

How much power do they add?

Fabspeed measures 15 horsepower and 12 ft-lbs of torque across the RPM band, and the headers are nine pounds lighter than the factory set. The equal-length tubes and high-flow sport cats let the flat-six breathe harder everywhere. Pairing them with a cat-back exhaust and the XperTune calibration builds on those gains.

What are they made from and are they warrantied?

They are CNC mandrel-bent from equal-length T304 stainless steel, and the HJS sport cats use EMITEC Tier 1 tri-metallic cores with platinum, palladium, and rhodium. Installation is a direct bolt-on with no cutting or welding. Fabspeed backs the headers with a lifetime warranty.

What do I need to install them?

The headers bolt directly to the OEM manifold flanges, so no cutting or welding is involved, and an optional Porsche multi-layer manifold gasket set is available for a clean seal. Standard hand tools and a re-torque of the exhaust bolts after the first heat cycle complete the job. Most owners fit them in an afternoon.

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.
