Fabspeed Sport Headers. Porsche 986 Boxster (2000-2004)  ❭  FSPOR9862SHDR

Fabspeed Sport Headers.
The Fabspeed Porsche 986 Boxster Sport Headers are a performance exhaust upgrade designed to improve exhaust flow, scavenging, throttle response and flat-six sound on Porsche 986 Boxster and Boxster S models from 2000–2004.

Fits:

• Porsche Boxster 986 2.7L 2000-02
• Porsche Boxster S 986 3.2L 2000-02
• Porsche Boxster 986 2.7L 2003-04
• Porsche Boxster S 986 3.2L 2003-04  

The headers use equal-length CNC mandrel-bent primary tubes combined with F1-style high-velocity merge collectors. This configuration is designed to improve the way exhaust gases leave each cylinder and merge into the exhaust system, reducing unnecessary restriction and supporting more efficient engine breathing.

2000–2004 Porsche 986 Boxster / Boxster S: The original headers incorporate primary catalytic converters. Fabspeed therefore supplies these applications with 200-cell HJS Sport Catalytic Converters.

Fabspeed reports +8 wheel horsepower and +4 lb-ft of torque when the Sport Headers are installed with the Fabspeed Maxflo Performance Exhaust System. These are manufacturer-reported figures from a specific vehicle and are not guaranteed results for every application.

What This Product Does:
Exhaust headers collect combustion gases as they leave the engine's cylinder heads and direct them into the remainder of the exhaust system.

The design and length of the individual primary tubes influence how efficiently these exhaust pulses leave the cylinders.

The Fabspeed Sport Headers are designed to improve this process through equal-length primary tubing and high-velocity merge collectors.

Potential benefits include:

• Improved exhaust flow
• Improved exhaust scavenging
• Reduced exhaust restriction
• Improved cylinder evacuation
• Sharper throttle response
• Increased horsepower and torque potential
• Stronger high-RPM performance
• Enhanced naturally aspirated flat-six sound

2000-2004 Header With HJS Sport Catalysts: 

For 2000–2004 Porsche 986 Boxster and Boxster S models, the original Porsche headers incorporate primary catalytic converters.

Fabspeed's replacement headers for these vehicles therefore incorporate 200-cell HJS Sport Catalytic Converters.

The lower-density sport catalyst design is intended to provide greater exhaust flow than a more restrictive conventional catalyst while retaining catalytic converter functionality.

Potential benefits include:

• Reduced catalyst restriction
• Improved exhaust flow
• Reduced backpressure
• Improved performance potential
• Stronger exhaust sound

Why Upgrading Matters:
The original Porsche headers do not need to have failed before fitting the Fabspeed Sport Headers.

This product is primarily a performance and sound upgrade.

Reasons for upgrading include:

• Equal-length primary tubes
• CNC mandrel-bent construction
• F1-style high-velocity merge collectors
• Improved exhaust scavenging
• Improved exhaust flow
• Reduced exhaust restriction
• Increased performance potential
• Sharper throttle response
• Enhanced flat-six exhaust sound
• 200-cell HJS Sport Catalytic Converters on 2000–2004 versions  
• Bolt-on installation
• Designed specifically for Porsche 986 Boxster and Boxster S models
