Great sound! Question; catback is stock? I mean, only headers changed?

No, I removed my stock exhaust a long time ago that I've replaced with a Borla exhaust.

Hey Ed, Great video. Are you still happy with your Topgear headers and how many miles have you now put on them? I ask as I can't find anything about the quality of the 200 cell cats used in these headers. I've called the company (twice) and emailed but they have not been forthcoming, so real world feedback is super useful! Thanks!

Thanks. I love them. They are still amazing and I've had zero issues with them. I believe I have 1500-2000 miles on them at this time. Like you, I did TONS of research for 2 years scouring the internet for the TopGear UK brand. It just so happened, I was speaking to a FVD tuning engineer and they mentioned TopGear UK's exhaust and headers are solid, and they've worked with them in FVD Europe, so I knew it was a go for me because FVD takes amazing care of my Boxster.

@@Lukedyas That is odd but I suspect because they mostly sell in Europe that they won't respond to you. You can try to contact a USA reseller, but I can confidently tell you that after my 2 years of research these headers are amazingly crafted. The welds are perfection. If you're ever in the Atlanta, let me know or look me up on Facebook at facebook.com/edmaverik.

I’m still trying to decide if I should go for these or the M&M Motorsport ones from the FVD website but those are like 4,500+ . Rhonda said they make 25 horsepower and 25lbs of torque on top of the tune and exhaust she said they’re the most powerful ones they tested just not sure I wanna pay that much and I’m not sure if that’s true. Also wondering if they make the same sound.

I love rhonda at FVD. They’ve sponsored a few of my Vlogs. The FVD headers are excellent, but I suspect they are made by TopGearUK with the exception of HJS headers. I’m confident I’m getting at least 20 HP from my headers, but I want to give credit to my FVD Stage 2 tune to account for them, so you must be mindful that headers and tune for it should be planned.

That sure is a lot of decibels but good to hear that there is still a significant difference between sport and regular mode. Don't think this much exhaust sound would be appreciated in the dense urban environment in which I am currently daily driving my Boxster but in a few years' time I might go for one of those pretty expensive full FVD exhaust systems together with an updated tune. Not really looking for much more exhaust sound but the weight savings and torque increase would certainly be welcome. Thanks for sharing.

It should be a perfect fit, but I would advise to get tune with it because it will trigger CEL without getting a header-specific tune.
