This backfired on us big time as Vibrant performance flex joints we were using all failed resulting in us warranting the first~30 headers. At that time I built a few more headers without flex joints to put a few local buddies’ cars so that I could monitor them as the prototypes had all been sold. We continued using the flex joints just switched to a different brand and style. Fast forward 2 years to now and there has not been 1 single issue with the non-flex headers on cars. I feel comfortable going forward without the flex joints. This will help the headers become more of a production part and should cut lead/wait times down in the near future. If anyone has any concerns, etc PLEASE feel free to call. As always the headers are backed by our lifetime warranty that we stand behind 100%.

I put my order in for a UEL header and OP/UQFP but added the chrome coating to it afterward. How much extra time will that add (and want to confirm that's been added).

Or if you want to send it to me today since it's my birthday and all...

It will add 4 weeks because it's you.

(Give it about an extra week or so and way to copy me on the Chrome coating)

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if it's 4 extra weeks. And I didn't coat the OP so more like "took design cues" from you.

Your header went over to the coater today. The place that does our chrome is running about 4-5 business days right now so hopefully it will ship by the end of the week!

Hey guys,

I'm running a 3" cat-back exhaust system on my 86, and am interested in purchasing an UEL Catted header + Overpipe + Frontpipe (Catted).

Silly question, however, which size option should I opt for? 2.5" or 3"? Also which rear flange should I be getting?

Apologies for such an ignorant question.

Cheers.

Which 3" cat-back are you running? 3" all the way sounds good with certain systems like the Perrin and Ours. Some of the other 3" stuff is a little too loud and raspy for my taste. Power wise if you're not supercharged i personally would just stick to the 2.5", i've made well over 400 on 2.5" on a turbo car without cats so its not a restriction at all.
