thanks alot loren, as usual. You are the best! hope you're having a great 4th of july weekend Can you please send me all parts + instructions to replace the brakes on a 2005 997 S ? Thanks

I have AWE sport cats, AWE mufflers, and fabspeed headers. It is a quite system, the car feels really good, I don’t know about gains. I would like to make a video…It is a weird setup, but it sounds spectacular.

You can replace the headers without removing anything else. It is a very simple process if you have the right tools. Regards

I replaced my headers today. It was very easy. However, I did ask a lot of questions to make sure I knew what I was doing. Below you will find a step by step instructions with pictures. I apologize, the pictures are low quality. I hope it helps other 997 owners. 1. Lift your car and make sure you block the front wheels (picture 1.jpg). 2. Tools you need: 13 mm socket 6pt, flexible 13 mm socket, 6 inch extension, torque wrench, adapters for the wrench and the 13 mm socket, 6- M8-1.25mm X30 mm bolts, 6 - M8-1.25mm hex nuts, 12-M8 flat washers, 12-99907507400 Exhaust Manifold Bolt Set - 997 (picture2.jpg). It helps if you spray on all bolts and nuts WD40 (o another brand) one or two days before you plan to uninstall the headers. 3. Partially remove 6-bolts from the part of the header connected to the engine (picture 3.jpg). Do not remove all bolts yet. 4. Partially remove 3-bolts and 3-nuts that connects the header and the cat. Be careful, make sure you have a strong and secure grip. I found this part a little bit difficult because the access is very limited. Flexible socket and extension make the job easier. (picture 4B.jpg) 5. Uninstall the header by completely removing all bolts and nuts (picture 5.jpg). 6. Clean all parts before installation. Use the 99907507400 Exhaust Manifold Bolt Set - 997 to attach the header to the engine. Do not tight the bolts yet 7. Use the M8-1.25mm X30 mm bolts, M8-1.25mm hex nuts, M8 flat washers to connect the header to the cat. Use copper gasket or Porsche factory gasket between the engine and the header, and between the header and the cat. Do not tight the bolts yet. 8. Use 17 lb-ft of torque for the bolts that attach the header to the engine. I used discrete force for the bolts and nuts that connect the header and the cat. I couldn't find the torque specification for those bolts. Repeat the process for the other header.
