When the CEL is cleared(with ELM327's) and the car is running, mine will travel around 50km's before it throws another code. Btw, the car runs MUCH smoother if the CEL isn't on. But with the CEL on, the exhaust sounds quite good LOL. Great write up @F1point4 as always. :thumbsup: |

I'm going to pick up a pack of gaskets just in case. I was at a shop yesterday and he had done 4 Borla header swaps. Said he was able to reuse the gaskets except for one customers who were all baked to the header. Since I'll be in my driveway alone, I'd rather just have them and replace them just in case. I don't want to end up in a bind.

Seeing as the OEM headers had a heat shield attached. Are there any recommendations as to having aftermarket headers heat wrapped with something like DEI headerwrap?
Also has anyone tried using a CEL Defouler? Ive seen them sold online. |

The PPE EL header has one welded in, a few others here have used spacers with good results: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...0&postcount=78 Quote:

Now owning a smallblock with Longtubes, 3" duals, off road X pipe and bullet mufflers I know what a V8 sounds like. There really is nothing like it, not to say other cars don't sound great. |
Not to hijack the thread but I think this is helpful for others considering the headers.
I picked up the gasket set at my local dealer for $45 (both exhaust manifold and the overpipe gasket). I'm going to test and see if there is any excess heat from the headers. My concern is mainly the water pump, as heat could rise quickly and warm it or the OEM rubber hose up. I'll be keeping an eye on the data logs to see if there is anything. They make a lot of solutions if there is an issue. I heard the Borla UEL's yesterday paired with an overpipe, catless front pipe, and an invidia n1 catback. It sounded awesome. A little too loud for me but top quality. It had a lot more of a deep sound in person compared to the videos I've heard. I think a lot of people will be happy with these headers. |

Hey man as always thanks for this write up, pics and videos. I have a massive DIY and project video coming and if it was not for the cat issue I'd probably copy you on this one it sounds so good. I am sure the extra power you will have when you get the SC back will blows those welds! ;)
Anyways thanks! |
