I've wondered this too. I ordered EL's a couple weeks ago, but it seems they do way more UEL. I've tried to find sound clips... nothing.

Was thinking about it, good price on a awesome product. Definitely if the price is right and lifetime warranty carries over. I know with Borla the warranty only applies to original owner

Finally I received the long awaited package being thousand miles from you here in Indonesia Im a bit worried the header wont fit nicely .
But hey its a OK except for 1 small problem .. the header touch the oil pan a bit, the remedy for me is to double the right side gasket . and all is well .
A nice piece of art! great sound very addictive, and great power according to my butt dyno , going to the real dyno soon :d

They are all test fit before welded and after final welding is done. Are you running the OEM gaskets?

@JDLAutoDesign

I've been waiting on a replacement for my equal length header since it was promised in September/October, any idea when it will ship? Why so long?

If it was promised for September/October then you are looking at a February 2014 delivery best case scenario.

Yeah, a 1-2 month delivery date turns into 4 months and counting. Maybe warranty customers automatically drop down the priority list?

Worst part is that I can never get a hold of these guys. Leave a message once a week but never get a call back. Doesn't give me lots of confidence.

I was probably the very last one of the group buy orders and just received my header this past Thursday. I'm sure you're a priority now that the GB is over.

Wow, this was the same groupbuy that started back in April? Maybe the other poster is looking at a March/April 2014 ship date?

Yep that one, but I ordered in June about a week or two after the GB ended. We also ran into a little delay with the ceramic coater this past month (black). While it was frustrating to wait at times, I gotta say that it was worth it in the end. But I finally received my header, and it sounds sweet with the Perrin 2.5 res header-back!
