If you have a Boxster or a 996 you can buy stainless headers for $100.
However they want $800 for these puppies for our 914's.
They could have at least copied the better 2.0 HE's instead. Fire that marketing guy.

The welds look nice enough ...

Square port? Never understood why these cannot be pretty much just straight back pipes.

I bet they just copied a set without even having a vehicle to test them on.
Time and material could be saved if made straight (and better flow in theory)
I see why so expensive now looking at add .... They are listed as "vintage" Porsche parts.
Ha ha me too ,looks like they had lots of scrap pipe ? ,jeez someone give the guy a bender ,really nothing tuned length there...square port for 914???.
Ben where are you ?,you need to check them out.
Appears the Chinese stuff has fitment issues,yes the welds look nice but a mate was doing a 16v conversion on a mk1 Golf and said the same about the welding and I pointed out a great deal of the bends were "fusion" welded,only filler welds were on the manifold plate and the 4 way connector,and guess what it didn't fit.

Best summation yet.
A container ship full of Duct Tape couldn't fix the "Disconnect" between Pacific Rim auto products AND their manufacturers; that are heavily reliant on the impulsuve online shopper...that is going to "Get a DEAL"
Wait...WHAT; they make duct tape too ¿

Ugh..
Anyone who spends $800 on parts that are usually a 'give away' (OEM with the casings rusted off) fully deserves what they get for their hard earned money. I hope the seller is sitting on 100s of these pieces of shit.
