Fabspeed Performance Sport Headers for 2009–2012 Porsche 987.2 Boxster & Cayman

Description

The Fabspeed Sport Headers for Porsche 987.2 Boxster, Cayman, Cayman R, and Spyder (2009–2012) are a performance‑grade upgrade designed to replace the restrictive factory exhaust manifolds with free‑flowing, mandrel‑bent stainless steel headers. These headers increase exhaust gas velocity and decrease backpressure, helping your mid‑engine flat‑six breathe better, which can deliver noticeable horsepower and torque gains, enhanced throttle response, and a richer, more aggressive exhaust tone under load. Engineered for direct‑fit installation and built from premium T‑304L stainless steel, these headers are a solid foundation for both street performance and track builds.

Fitment Notes

• Designed for the following Porsche 987.2 (2009–2012) models:

  • Boxster 2.9 L

  • Boxster S 3.4 L DFI

  • Cayman 2.9 L/3.4 L

  • Cayman R

  • Spyder / GTS variants

• Direct‑bolt‑on replacement for the factory exhaust manifolds — no cutting or welding required.

• Works with stock or aftermarket mid‑pipes and cat‑back exhaust systems (verify sensor placement for cats).

• Professional installation recommended to ensure torque specifications and O₂ sensor connections are correct.

• When paired with performance exhausts or ECU tuning, gains and sound improvements are magnified. 

Included

• Pair of Fabspeed Sport Headers (left and right banks)

• Required mounting hardware, flanges, and gaskets for direct fit

• Basic installation guidance and documentation

Product Specs

Product Features

• Free‑flowing design: Mandrel‑bent tubing improves exhaust gas evacuation, reducing backpressure compared to stock manifolds.

• Enhanced throttle response: Increased flow efficiency translates to quicker throttle response and improved midrange power feel.

• Premium construction: Made from high‑grade T‑304L stainless steel with precision welds for durability under thermal cycling.

• Richer exhaust tone: Smoother, louder, and more engaging exhaust sound that matches the flat‑six character.

• Direct fit: Bolt‑on design uses OEM mounting points — no fabrication or modification required.

• Performance foundation: Ideal as the core upgrade to support ECU tuning, cat‑back exhausts, and other performance mods.
