  • Decided to give the ultra cheap eBay headers a try! Overall the headers did not seem to be terrible quality. The fitment to the secondary pipes was just not even close! The headers were not usable and needed to be returned to the seller. Hopefully this video helps you avoid the cheap eBay headers or helps you with the install of headers on you 986!

      Nice! I guess I just chose the wrong seller! I don’t want to risk it again so I’ll pay a little premium for a set from somewhere else. After I fix the second gear grind this fall / winter.

    Damn man. That stinks if you get different headers make another video!

      My expectations were low so only a couple hours lost! I’ll be trying out the FVD headers in the future. Probably after I fix the second gear grind this winter.

    Hey, are those, Bilstein B6s or what struts are you running?

    • @LenartoGarage

      Yeah, they are the Bilstein B6 shocks with H&R springs. I would highly recommend this setup. Great ride comfort and handling.

      @@LenartoGarage cool, thanks for response! Been wanting a set of B6, but the front struts are out of stock almost everywhere. Guess I'll have to bite the bullet and pay a premium.
      Did you get springs just to lower the car or for another reason? I was thinking of keeping stock springs (and ride height) for now
