Do they fit the 997.2 GT2 RS?

Yes. They are a direct bolt-on fit for the 2011 997.2 Porsche 911 GT2 RS and its 3.6L twin-turbo flat-six, worldwide models. They install in place of the factory headers and require no cutting or fabrication.

Yes. By replacing the restrictive factory headers with a freer-flowing, scavenging-optimized design, they raise horsepower, sharpen throttle response and bring the turbos to boost faster. Fabspeed does not publish specific figures for the headers alone; the biggest gains come from a full exhaust setup and a matching tune.

Will they set a check-engine light?

No. Fabspeed guarantees no check-engine light with the Sport Headers. For a street-legal setup, pair them with the HJS Sport Cats, which are emissions compliant in 49 states; the headers on their own are a performance part.

How hard are they to install?

This is a direct bolt-on job rated Level-1 for install difficulty that most owners can do at home with hand tools. After the first heat cycle, retighten the exhaust bolts to OEM torque specs so the joints stay sealed.

The headers are the foundation of the exhaust. Pair them with the HJS Sport Cats for a 49-state-compliant street car or the competition link pipes for track use, and add the XperTune calibration so the tune matches your exhaust configuration.

Description

Fabspeed Sport Headers for 997.2 Porsche 911 GT2 RS

Fabspeed’s Sport Headers for 997.2 Porsche 911 GT2 RS attack the first restriction in the exhaust of the last Mezger-powered GT2 RS, the factory headers, for stronger flow and faster turbo response. Built by Fabspeed Motorsport, an American engineering house fabricating exhaust systems for the world’s finest sports cars since 1988, they are formed from 14 to 16 gauge T304L stainless steel and mandrel bent, then finished with 3-into-1 pyramidal lost-wax investment-cast merge collectors that Fabspeed CAD-optimizes for exhaust scavenging. They bolt in place of the restrictive factory headers and carry a guaranteed no check-engine light and a Fabspeed lifetime warranty, an upgrade worthy of a car built in numbers most enthusiasts will only ever read about.

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.
