Ft86speedfactory UEL header vs, Tomei Expreme UEL Header

Who has either? What do you like about it? What has better performance gains? Which is higher quality?

Tell me plx, I've narrowed my decision for headers down to those 2.

Thank you but I'm only interested in the headers I mentioned above. I appreciate the suggestions though.

I planned on getting a tune after I get the headers and replace the front and down pipe, in that case would Tomei be the way to go since I can only do the tune a few months after I get all that?

Just installed the Tomei UEL last night with a stg2 e85 tune. Fitment of the header was PERFECT, and it's obvious its of supreme quality. Due to it being catless, it creates a little bit of rasp with my straight through setup, but it sounds MEAN. I haven't got on it yet, waiting for my ECU to learn the proper fuel trims first, but I can already tell it has a lot more low down pull compared to the factory header. I am super pleased with my purchase!

The spot on fitment, quality, and welds are what is drawing me to tomei. I have the 80R and I love it to death. Are you gonna dyno it? I'd love to see the performance gains cause everyone with the tonei headers all say that you no longer have a torque dip which is sex to my ears

I feel that the Tomei header is more of a UEL than FT86SF header. I don't have a UEL header yet but I'd go with the Tomei if I had to choose between the 2. And the collector is right at the flange for the Tomei which is nice.

I am severely leaning towards the tomei.. Retarded question though: what's the collector?

The collector on the Tomei is beautiful, with all pipes meeting and creating a very sharp point. Everything is super smooth inside.
