No.

People have been putting UEL headers on NA imprezas forever, so you could probably find a dyno chart somewhere comparing them (OEM EL vs aftermarket UEL vs aftermarket EL). It does sound a lot better. BTW congrats on the 2WD win at NEFR.

The BRZ/FRS isn't the only car they have to focus on.. relax they are doing what they can. I'd rather wait and have them take their time then buy a rushed-to-market product.

The rally team they support just dual podiumed over the weekend, and they are rushing back to the nameless shop for more work to try and rank in the rally america series I believe. They are trying to rebuild and s13 or something like that in the next couple of days. Once that settles down hopefully they will release the header

Still no check engine lights! It's running rock solid, over one thousand miles on it so far without issues.

What they said, Jason and the guys are a small shop and they bust their collective asses to give us a quality product.

Trust me I am excited as well, but good things come to those that wait.

They just baselined their FR-S and put down 168. On the same dyno mine put down 159.



http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php...type=1&theater

after they throw the headers and exhaust parts on it, maybe it'll be up to 185? Then a tune for 200? Maybe? Who knows... They have an ECUTek cable coming right now.

naw. we noticed the same thing @virtual_bob 's dyno day as well. There's a good 10whp range between stock vehicles.

Hey Tainen, I forgot, are you running the catless?

That fits my situation, but I'll leave a cat in. I'm too lazy to clean my bumper enough to run catless these days :P

I've just given a look at the thread and...thumbs up!

At the moment you seem the only company that is working on the BRZ/86 with a scientific method.
The only issue may be the Dynojet dyno, which is not very good, but I guess ok if you test the same car in similar conditions.

I really like both the design and finish of your products, the fact that you use parts sourced in your country and everything is TIG welded in your workshop.

I'm really looking forward for September when we'll finally start the development of our exhaust system. I don't think we'll sell many of them in the US, too much choice and prices for parts made in Asia are too low to be competitive, people don't car much for quality over there...

We're working on the Evora S and a few other smaller projects, after the summer break we got the 125i and 328i (BMW is one of our main markets, the N20 it's a good engine and we got +30 nm of torque and +11 hp with no tune) and then we'll have the GT86.
