I realized that the pdf translation does not work for me. So I had to use the camera function as you said.

Where do you install the Thermashield that comes with the HKS Header?

Not really sure you need that to be honest. Can you let me know where you got your HKS UEL header? Looking to buy one.

I got it from FT86SPEEDFACTORY.COM. They're on back order now though but I got one out of the last remaining three (3) they had in stock at the time lol.

I saw this is in another post. Gonna check back the instructions to see if it specifically mentioned that to confirm.

Wow....5 months. That's what I was afraid of. So I made sure to close my eyes and click buy before others decided to purchase it lol.

I checked FRSport and they said the same thing. I tried Kamispeed, but it looks like they're away until tomorrow. It does say on their website that it's made to order and over 4+ weeks though.

Really can't find it anywhere else either.

Man if told you that is because i had those header, i translated instructions, i installed them and run them for 2 year
i even dynoed them

you can minimize instructions in:
-put thermal adesive on your oil pan, cutting it to shape it
-use the Grey extension to extend front primary lambds, which will go directly to the exit of the header while the second lambda goes to the single runner' hole

stop. They aren t different from any other header just becuase they got a 20pages Manual of use with them
in fact, they are quite shitty performing, cat is too small and useless and only blocks the relative small exit they got

Yes sound is cool... but tomei UEL are better in every way if you want UEL at all costs

They are good at keeping value, even if most people would not buy them
it took me another 2 years to actually sell them to someone in Europe

Thank you for the tips!

Can I tell you, I was going for Tomei UEL at first but I feel it causes some rasps in some exhaust setups since its catless and then its louder as well. I guess I wanted to get a catted header to be on the safer side in terms of volumes and emissions. Plus the Tomei is even cheaper too but I'm hoping the rumble will make the HKS worth it!

But I don't care too much about the gains more than that rumble which you will get from others. I was impressed by the HKS Packages, as those to me are the best rumbles for this platform.

that was sound of my car
mind you it s all hks, but the midpipe.. it s stock

https://youtu.be/94u7NZSdoTg

dyno

bolder lines are HKS boxer spec header with stock oem My17 tune
thinner lines, tune @ knock limit with 100ron

same day we dynoed and tuned similar car but with Skunk2 EL 4-1 header, it got 12whp more from 6000 rpm to redline, but 10whp less at 4k rpm
This dyno gives 173bhp only for stock cars

Very interesting. I can hear the pure rumble from the setup. Not bad at all. I am not changing my over pipe or front pipe. Just sticking with the requirements for the deep package: HKS Hi-Power Spec L Catback Exhaust and HKS UEL.

I am still on the fence about the over pipe, whether its necessary or not. I think the description of it says its for racing applications.
