I own the JDL header. Just installed it last night. I can feel the power delivery increase but my car is tuned. I wanted the subaru rumble which is the main reason why I went with it and the quality is outrageous. It took a long time to get, but it was absolutely worth it.

Drift office said they were going to post a comparison between the HKS 4-2-1 and JDL UEL, and the other UELs soon. Maybe shoot them a PM or call them.

sent from my locker... help!

If you're looking for numbers, then yes, either HKS or JDL will get you a bump in power. It brings up torque in the dreaded torque valley range and an increase globally in power IF you get a tune for it. Otherwise, it won't do much for you on it's own if it's just installed.

A quick search... presto!

I will saw however that while the JDLs are UELs, they're the best performing one we've seen so far... Sounds great too! Note that the JDL results were based off a 100% stock car with a stock exhaust system.

Actually, it was a comparison of the 3 UELs and the HKS / T1R in a separate discussion after I get a 3rd EL to compare it with. But thanks though!

Would love to see how the T1R performs with a tune

Only reason I'm in favor of JDL is the SOUND. It's glorious and I've already lost .5 MPG in my first day of driving with it. Sounds like a completely different car in an awesome way. I am tuned but I haven't revised my tune for the header yet. It certainly feels more powerful and pulls harder with the header on. I'll get it to the dyno once I get my tune dialed in.

The JDL is a beast of a header. I've got two resonators and a catted front pipe as well. It's pretty loud even on the 2.5" Nameless setup too. Wakes up the Perrin resonated system as well.
