Which EL Header Correct Torque Dip Best?
Im sure there are threads I can look through, but looking for a quick answer.
I will be doing header only for now. So this will be on stock exhaust. Only looking for a EL. Hp/tq increase would be nice, but mainly looking to correct the dip. I like the HKS one. I hear it has good hp gains but doesn't correct the dip? Is this true? |

Honestly im curious what would happen if you put one of those headers on the stock exhaust. All they dynos so far have full systems. Do a dyno before and after!
for science! |

Am I the only person that would never buy a turbo manifold with a NA conversion pipe to use as a header? I mean what's the point of having the "header" turn up into the engine bay where it does a U-turn to go where it should have gone in the first place? To me it's like multi-bolt pattern wheels. I would never buy them either.

Plus it lets them have longer EL runners and keep a cat. The other long tube EL ones have no room for a cat.

FA20club and Nameless probably have the best equal length headers. Neither company I don't think you'll get it in 2-3 weeks like you're looking for. The only way to do that is to get something like a Borla EL that's machine produced. The TUNE is what corrects the torque dip the most paired with the header. Header by itself won't do much but increase your volume.

Have a P&L catted header & FA20 tune. TQ dip almost seemed to disappear, and there's a wallop (relatively speaking) of TQ just over 4k--starkly more than stock.

FA20CLUB and P&L are the ''same''. The main difference is where the coupler is...
