This is not accurate. Racers Edge managed only 7 horsepower gain on a 200 HP S2 by installing their $1600 header. That was on a twin cam, 16 valve motor with substantially better breathing than a 2.5.

Racer's Edge -- Racer's Edge 944 Header

You can expect even less gain with a 2.5, which has a decent 4-2-1 "tuned" design (drawn up by engineers at Porsche).
