Do the Fabspeed Sport Headers fit the Carrera 4S?

Yes. The Fabspeed Sport Headers fit the 996 Porsche 911 Carrera, Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S from 1998 to 2004 as a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory manifolds, using the same mounting points and hardware locations.

How much power do the Fabspeed Sport Headers add?

The Fabspeed Sport Headers add 15 whp and 12 lb-ft of torque over the factory manifolds, verified on Fabspeed's in-house dyno. Equal-length primary tubes and F1-style merge collectors balance the flat six's combustion pulses instead of fighting them, which is where the gains come from rather than from any added electronics.

How difficult is it to install the Sport Headers?

The Sport Headers bolt directly to the factory mounting points, so no cutting or modification is required. A shop with a lift should retorque all exhaust bolts to factory spec after the first heat cycle to keep the header seal tight, the one step that matters most after installation.

What are the Fabspeed Sport Headers made from?

The Sport Headers are built from equal-length, mandrel-bent tubing paired with CAD-designed merge collectors, fabricated in-house at Fabspeed's Pennsylvania facility. Every set is dyno-tested before it ships, and Fabspeed backs it with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

Are the Sport Headers louder than the factory exhaust?

Yes. The Sport Headers produce a moderately louder, more aggressive note than the factory manifolds without adding interior drone at cruising speed. Drivers who want a bigger jump in volume typically pair the headers with a Sport Catted X-Pipe or Maxflo Performance Exhaust System rather than relying on the headers alone.

Do the Fabspeed Sport Headers come with a warranty?

Yes. Fabspeed covers the Sport Headers under its lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, the same coverage it applies across its exhaust, intake and tuning products. Every set is dyno-tested and verified before it leaves the factory.

Description

Fabspeed Sport Headers for 996 Porsche 911 Carrera / 4 / 4S

Name: Fabspeed Sport Headers for 996 Porsche 911 | Bulletproof Automotive
Brand: Fabspeed
SKU: FS.POR.996.SHDR
Price: 2053.95 USD
Availability: InStock

Fabspeed Sport Headers turn the 996 Carrera’s factory manifolds into a genuine performance part: equal-length primary tubes and F1-style merge collectors that sharpen the flat six’s voice while they free up real power. The factory log-style collectors choke flow right where it matters most; Fabspeed’s CAD-designed, merge-spike collectors balance the six cylinders’ combustion pulses instead of fighting them, and the car answers with 15 more horsepower, 12 more lb-ft of torque, and 2 fewer pounds hanging off the front of the engine. The note comes up noticeably louder without crossing into cabin drone, the kind of change a driver notices in the first mile.

Power

Equal-length primary tubes route each cylinder’s pulse through the same path length, so the engine fires against balanced back pressure instead of an uneven factory log manifold. On Fabspeed’s own dyno, the Sport Headers picked up 15 whp and 12 lb-ft of torque over stock, gains that come from freer flow rather than from any added electronics.

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.
