UEL Header and catback louder ?
 
I currently only have the TRD catback exhaust and was looking into getting a UEL header. Was wondering if getting one will increase the volume of the exhaust ? Since only trd seems just a bit quiet. And I love the boxer sound. Borla uel seems to have a good reputation its kinda too expensive. Saw a cnt uel header. Will that do the trick ? (Louder and boxer rumble) thanks, I dont know much bout headers

OMFG HAHAHAAHAHAHAAH :lol: :bellyroll: :slap:

OP I have borla headers and they sound great but they are shit (at least for my standards)

edit: now that I read your post I have TRD cataback too (sorta) I say go with borla I can guarantee it would sound great! Especially if you get a test pipe to kill the 2nd cat. Also dont forget you need a tune to properly run a header

edit2: If you want to go for a drive you can come hear my car (depending on where in BC you are) so you know exactly what your getting yourself into?

My neighbors didn't mention anything about my car being louder or anything when I put headers on with my invidia N1 catback so I'm assuming it barely raised the noise level. On a separate note, has anyone else in the PA area been getting mailed anonymous letters with death threats for waking up their neighborhoods ? I guess my TV is just too loud or something idk

It'll definitely be louder. Check out the Gruppe-S Header.

Don't waste your money on the Borla UEL, they have had so many quality assuranced issues it's hilarious, and by that I mean the welds are hideous.


Best bet is to get the Gruppe-S UEL, it's literally a Tomei UEL:

For the price of the borla you can have what is essentially a tomei uel with really good build quality, an overpipe, OEM gaskets and a heat shield for the oil pan a much better bang for the buck investment
