PLM Power Driven UEL-Header
 
so was looking looking at new products on ft86speedfactory and noticed these - PLM POWER DRIVEN UNEQUAL LENGTH HEADER(ft86speedfactory) --PLM Website for More Pictures havent seen them before and I cant find a single review about them anywhere.

was wondering if anyone here has purchased them and is able to give some feedback or anything related to them.

from what I saw in a quick search of PLM they make decent headers for other vehicles.

Which manifold have they copied? Then look at what those make and expect a little less.

It sort of looks similar to JDL's header but with flex pipes - and some other minor bends.

Been seeing these as well online. Very curious as their parts, while replicas, arent of bad quality. I think their previous long tube header had pretty good feedback. In for updates.

I'm running a PLM UEL. Quality-wise it's a pretty good header IMO. Decent welds and no leaks using Grimmspeed gaskets. Sounds like most UEL headers as well. I dyno'ed my car this evening and with a catless 2.5" exhaust, this header, and a stage 2 OFT tune. I got rid of my torque dip and picked up around 20ft lbs in the low to mid range. Peak tq gain was about 14 ft lbs. For the money I think it's a hard header to beat.

For what it's worth..

I used the PLM EL header for awhile (Nameless knockoff) put about 20k on that header and it never gave me any problems.

IIRC the new owner is still rocking it with no issues as well.

I was wondering about this UEL as well. you can get $350 from Ebay..i am still debating this knock off header

+28 WHP and 14 TQ. The bottom numbers are a bit confusing as they're not color coded the same as the graph.

Would you be able to put up an OFT log for this? I'm curious how the off the shelf tune reacts with this header (mainly from a safety/knock viewpoint)
