FT-86 SpeedFactory Catted UEL Header

Even the other UEL headers for our car don't seem to make that much of a rumble compared to the EJ engines. Not because the EJ engine is more rumbley, but because the manifolds are...even more so unequal length.

WRX factory UEL manifold -


Aftermarket non-turbo UEL header -


compared to what we have available.





The OFT and Borla are pretty close, but the RH runners are still a tad bit longer than the WRX.

I'm in no way downing, or talking crap about FT86SF Header. It looks like a quality product, and I've had nothing but great business experiences with them. Just stating that if you want a very prominent rumble...should have bought a WRX.

Yeah I regret not buying the WRX, only thing that held me back was insurance costs. After driving coupes for over two years, I really want a sedan or a hatch back (been eyeing on the WRX Hatchback since day one). On that note, I'll probably trade in the BRZ in the future for an updated STi (with an FA motor, instead of the decade old EJ motor) or an "improved" BRZ.

What Mr. Turkish said hits it on the spot. We do welcome people as long as you don't try to change Austin. It's a really cool city.

And yes, enjoy our 93 octane and gas prices. We also have e85! (In a few places)

Thanks! I'm glad there are a few who appreciate the exhaust tone and loudness I was going for. It took a LOT of exhaust clips, research and in person follow-ups to nail down the right combination to get close to what I wanted.

It won't sound like an EJ because it's not. The high rev'ing screamer while being NA is one of many reasons why I wanted the BRZ over an STi.

Hey guys I apologize if this is a noobish question and/or if this has been answered in this thread. My question is, will the oem o2 sensors hook right up to this header? Just needed to know and didn't have the time to search through 91 pages on this thread lol. Thank you!

There's no need to apologize, no one will answer something that has been answered -- you might as well not ask and look first.

Search button is on the upper right hand of the page --

What's the difference in time it takes someone to answer a question vs. tell the persone they should search.. If you don't know the answer, your condesending posts are useless and polute the thread more than questions that have already been answered.. If you do know the anser, why not be civil and just help a lad out??

I disagree and side with CamryDS. The wise master is teaching the student to fish.

In some occasions I can agree to this -- Unfortunately if you spoon feed EVERYTHING to EVERYONE, then no. I don't agree -- his question is full of laziness. He even stated this. So that's why I said what I said. If you think you're helping by spoon feeding, look at yourself and reflect.

Do YOU use the search button? Do you even research or would you rather just sit there and ask. If I was this way and asked every time, i'd have 2x to 3x posts... but they would all be useless questions.

I may have "diluted" the thread slightly, but did I pollute it? no.... So I would expect you to not only understand the situation but not twiddle your thumbs. Because your addition is not "civil" it's spoon feeding and it's causing everyone else to be a lazy f***.

anyway /rant off --


What I really wanted to post on here was the a reply to @pnig 's video -- bad ass sound on the exhaust. Still waiting for my headers -- since I heard the last few vids. It's making me VERY anxiousfor the header.

And besides, most of us are "too busy". It is all about time management.
