Hmm! You have both a Porsche 911 and a Tiger.  Me too.

It's my son's ambition to own every sports car I ever had, and at the

I also have a new set of LAT-27 Tri-Y Tiger cast headers on the shelves 
(as does "Mooney" (Sean Ford).
They are said to add just a few horsepower, but look great.

I think they would look best with either an aluminum ceramachrome 
finish, or the fragile black porcelainized finish, like my Jag XK120M.
Do all your fit checks, hammering and grinding before the finish.  Some 
manufacturing errors may exist on this accessory.
