Drift-Office : Rev Works UEL Header... Tuned!

I think in N/A, these cars just need front pipe + catback + intake. Standard trio.

Typically, they're right under an hour... and the gains come mostly from the tuning IMHO. The headers help the power and torque along and fills the gaps nicely.

Cheers!

Tuning is definitely a must.

Have you guys done a tuned comparison test on panel filter versus proper intake results yet?

Also...trying to send a PM and cannot. Clear out your inbox! Haha

Thanks for taking some time and doing a review of our header. I have been following your reviews and they seem to be quite Thorough. Keep it up Bob!

Got the baseline map from Drift-Office for my RW UEL and stock exhaust. Holy crap it's already a night and day difference. Startup is much smoother and the car is running smooth throughout. Time to put on miles and get logging when the rain stops.

I'll have accelerated get the car back on the dyno for a stock vs tune comparison after we're all done.

Bob!! I think the last one is mine! At the time, it was PRE nameless op/fp. It was with the stock ones!

I've tried several of the popular intakes in a tuned environment and much to my dismay, most of them incite lot of turbulence due to design and MAF placement. While they can be tuned out, I've noted that top end gains are always affected where it's not always a positive gain, hence my adherence to stock airboxes with an aftermarket DRY panel filter of some sort!

Is the turbulence being caused by bends in the piping or is it caused by the radiator turning on, etc.

If so, I'm curious to see your results on the AEM tuned intake box. It's enclosed and proved to be one of the better options for the Ralliart/EvoX community avoiding MAF turbulence issues.
