Oh haha. Yes i know, I just wasn't sure about Tomei. Kinda set with that or Borla or JDL. But leaning towards Tomei. Any suggestions on which is better?

JDL has proven gains and comes with a lifetime warranty, plus their sale puts them around the same price as the Tomei. Gruppe-S is also an excellent choice in terms of power. I would stray away from borla if you are looking for quality.

I can second the borla comment, I have one and regret it. Tomei is a solid choice but JDL would be my choice. I am going to replace my borla with JDL one of these days. As far as gruppe goes they are cheap and the customer support seems great I see them on here all the time. I think it is just a tomie knock off header they make but it might save you a few bucks if you go that way.

All the uel headers "gains" are very close to the margin of error of a dyno. E.g. within about -+ 5 hp.

Loving my JDL Catless UEL Header so far

Will post up dyno sheets once I visit my local tuner in the spring

Except for all the headers making 15hp+ gains. Nameless, JDL, Ace, Ptuning...

Right those are mostly EL. I said UEL.

That said your implying you can make 215whp, because 200 whp is on my sub-par borla.

E85 is whats makes the power. (As you know). Mods are simple all catless header, fp, air filter, ecutek e85 tune.

Never dynoed. You can make them say anything anyways exception being a dynojet. I used trap speed amd weight to find power level. Math don't lie.

You are correct about the math but the trap speed of your car and weight has to be exact to the within 2 decimal places of MPH and 10 pounds or you will have error of 3.7 whp for every fifty pounds or 3 whp for every .5 MPH.

do you only have the catback or you have full exhaust parts?

I have borla uel header perrin overpipe invidia resonated front pipe and i was afraid the Type 80 wouldnt pass the girlfriend/wife test. lol

Did you install the Borla UEL header yourself? or did you take it to a shop?

Im eventually going to get the header and I'm don't have the best mechanical knowledge.
