Product details
These Fabspeed Sport Headers replace the original exhaust manifolds and catalysts on the 981 Boxster and Cayman Base, S and GTS. Equal-length primary pipes feed 3-into-1 collectors and 200-cell HJS converters, distinguishing this assembly from catalyst-free race headers. Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, is home to Fabspeed Motorsport. The company engineers sports-car exhaust systems, air intakes and ECU tuning, including Porsche applications, with product development involving dyno, road and racetrack evaluation.
Technical Details
- Manufacturer part number: FS.POR.981.SHDR.
- T304 stainless-steel equal-length primaries with mandrel bends.
- Includes German-made 200-cell HJS sport catalytic converters and multilayer manifold gaskets.

Fitment & Compatibility
| Years | Make | Model / chassis | Version / application | Fitment notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2013–2016 | Porsche | 981 Boxster / Cayman | Base, S and GTS | GT4 coverage is not established. Match the mating exhaust components. |
For 2013–2016 Porsche 981 Boxster/Cayman Base, S and GTS as specifically listed by Fabspeed. Do not extend this header fitment to GT4 simply because other 981 exhaust parts fit that model. Confirm mating exhaust components before installation.
