Clean-lookin' car.

I took both my 86's up to the mountains.

When people get an after market header why do they change out their over and front pipe too? From the YouTube videos I've seen, they always make the car sound far too loud and like a trumpet.

I want to go for a JDL catted UEL header but with stock front and over pipe, but keep my Borla cat back exhaust. I'm not after a super loud sound, I just want the rumble and the performance once I get the OFT as well.

From what I've read, the front and over pipe don't add much performance gains on NA cars anyway.

Am I missing something?

Nope you're good. I'm planning to do the same. I mean obviously it's good to have same diameter piping all the way through, but eehhh, it's a relatively small section.

I had drone with jdl uel, stock op and fp and q300. I added a hooker fp with helmholz resonator and it reduced the drone and volume might be a little less than stock. I get a base drone at 2000rpm.

Installed JDL catted headers with stock overpipe and mid pipe and Borla catback.

It’s not loud at all, maybe a just a tad over what the stock header sounded like. Honestly sounds very OEM. The rumbly boxer sound is deep and full of bass in the cabin. You can still have a conversation with the passenger and listen to music.

From the YouTube videos of JDL headers I was afraid that they’ll give off a really high pitched raspy sound, but fortunately I got none of that.

As for performance gains, there’s a bit more pick up after 4K RPM, but it’s barely noticeable. I’m hoping an OFT tune would wake up the car some more. So far no CEL.

If anyone says interested in a sound clip, I can try to record one. It’s pretty hard to pick up the sound on the iPhone though.

It's the catless headers you expect to get a lot more noise (and power) with. With a catted your gains are limited but you may never see a CEL. But definitely still get a tune as soon as you can. I will be going catless so expecting a lot more noise

Stock header but catless front pipe, huh? 188 whp is very good for stock header.
