I love the 5 axis spoiler. A black one on red could be a nice contrast.

Yeah I have dark tints so it would complement that as well. Did that come with the car or did you buy it separately? If separately, could you tell me where you got it from?

Thanks, and yes it needs a drop.

I'm getting wear on the outside edge of the tires, but can't run any more negative camber (currently on factory alignment) on stock suspension without hitting the spring perch. :/

Really?! I'd check the toe setting and see if that's in spec. Outside edge tire wear sounds like too much toe-out.

JDL EL catted header, titanium ceramic coated. Waited 8+ long weeks for this but it looks excellent.



Installed:



Very close to intake resonators. But not touching (or melting) anything.



I had a problem with a metallic pinging noise over 4k after installing this header which I believe was coming from the old style resonator in the nameless front/over pipe. It is currently being retrofitted with the new style and I will report back if that has solved the issue. I have put back on the stock axleback for now.

After getting the car retuned (sorry no graph), there is no torque dip and the car just pulls from 2.5k+.

Since you have a the JDL catted header, does that mean you won't get a CEL?

Correct. I've never seen a check engine light and I've had the header installed for about a month now.

Nice! How do you like it? Any ideas how it compares to the SpeedFactory catted header?

I don't have dyno comparisons but a friend of mine in town has that one. We have yet to see who is faster in a straight line but they feel pretty comperable. The main difference is the speedfactory one is uel, this one is el. JDL has the option to get a ceramic coating and speed factory doesn't I don't think.

I am looking at the Catted EL from JDl as well, it looks very nice. It would be great to see a comparo between the JDL Catted EL and Speedfactory Catted UEL. I believe the UEl may help the tqe dip a bit more but I have read the EL has better top end power.

Did you get a weight on the new header? Curious to see how much lighter it might be...
