Which headers?

Hey Guys,

I'm looking to change the headers on my 997tt, it has modded VTG's with plenty of other stuff, but i'm in need of a better throttle response with better spool while not losing at high rpm. I did some research and got 3 brands which seems to be the top 3; GMG - AWE - Switzer .

Which one would you recommend more and why? I'd be glad to hear your personal opinions and experiences.

Thanks,

Did you ever consider going with a Sachs racing clutch with a light weight flywheel?? A Sachs stage II would be awesome. I have one and my throttle response is off the hook. You may want to check it out.

I think most of good headers will offer same gains...I would go for Swizter...proven 15hp gain...

my friend will try the switzer, I am sure they are just as good as others, but trying different brands would be better I think. What is TCU by the way?

I would go with the AWE Setup. They provide a quality proven product with a name and reputation that everyone knows....

We have not installed a set yet but i have heard from a few customers on the East Coast who really love the much improved throttle response and spooling.

PM me for special pricing

Alex, based on the graph you posted there is no difference in spool.

Salih, a TCU stands for transmission control unit. A reflash would result in quicker shifts.
