Nameless ELH VS JDL UEL Header
I'm kinda at a stand still at this point. I can't decide between the nameless ELH and the JDL UEL. My long term goal is to go with the innovative supercharger kit and lightin up the rotational mass. Overall just have a fun daily driver with plenty of low end torque.
Whatever header I choose will be paired with a 3" perrin resonated catback and a 3"nameless cat/resonated mid/overpipe and tune. The numbers look good on both. The JDL looks to have a more even torque curve and has a good price point. On the other side the nameless has phanominal workmenship and appers to have more reasearch and development behind it. The thing that worries me about the Nameless is the dip in the low 3000 RPM range that go's below the stock numbers. Is the dip even a valid concern and is it even noticeable? JDL 2.5 exhaust 93 tune Nameless 3" exhaust 93 tune Last edited by Brinks; 07-16-2014 at 12:01 AM. |

Correct me if im wrong but 3" exhausts are meant for tubro'd 86's and not N/A or supercharged, as it messes up the engines exhaust pressures, hence the low rpm drop in torque.

You used my dyno results without my permission! I don't care so no worries. That day I did my dyno was extremely dense air day so those numbers are very unlikely to be repeatable unless you're in a cold rain forest. For the right price perhaps I'll sell my Innovate, headers, intake, charge pipe, etc...

Stick to 2.5" for N/A. 3" for turbo. Hell, even 2.5" for S/C is fine unless your plan is 450 whp or above. |

Yes. Nameless dyno plot is about how my car felt after tuned. The low end was sluggish, but the top end was pretty intense. Pipe diameter is too large at very low RPM. I didn't have a chance to get it on the dyno unfortunately.

I was joking so no worries. JDL never asked if they could use it but I could care less. Yes I'm happy with my kit and everyone compliments me on it. Getting a perfect tune with the innovate is more difficult than a turbo setup, but aside from that no complaints.

But in regards to the OP's original question, you can't go wrong with either. Both are high quality headers that will yield great results.

Both nameless and JDL have exceptional quality. I don't think you could go wrong with either but while you are comparing those two why not have a look at P&L's EL header. Just to make sure you have all the info available.

This is actually a better comparison than most threads. Here is something I'm interested in comparing a more.. "generous" stock curve to the nameless dyno.
Also are there any independent dyno numbers for the nameless header or any soundclips? That header had so much hype then just disappeared randomly. |
