You can literally buy any other UEL header and get that sound.

Light package sounded better I think :)

FR-S Matt 02-07-2014 02:30 PM

My JDL UEL and N1 sound better than this, and probably a ton cheaper too even with the ceramic coating. The deep sound comes from the dual canister style mufflers.

Im a big fan of hks which is why I want those headers. the borla ones have too many problems, the jdl I might consider, the ft86speed factory catted uel doesnt have enough rumble from the videos Ive seen.

Revworks is another one. You can buy the "Boxer spec" kits from japanparts.com, but it's way too expensive.

Noz 02-07-2014 07:08 PM

I'm planning on getting this header too. It does come with a flash editor as well, which somewhat justifies the cost.

xwd 02-08-2014 10:24 AM

Why would you want to buy their flash editor when there are much better and well supported option here like the OFT? Blows my mind why people are willing to spend money on something just because it says "HKS" on it.

Been wondering the same thing. Even with those exhausts that are surpassing $2500. I can at least justify why I spent $1000 on the JDL UEL with a lifetime warranty, ceramic coated, and third party dynos.

Not to mention the flash editor is probably only compatible with JDM ECUs.

Noz 02-08-2014 06:50 PM

Thats why I'm waiting for the US release. I don't know why it's so mind blowing. I like the brand and their products, so I'll buy it. Simple as that. I don't understand why people on this forum are so quick to tell people to just buy the cheaper alternative. If that's the choice you made, then great. There's nothing mind blowing.

Need to know header weight specs comparison and get one for weight saving over stock. I'm not sure how light is HKS vs Borla header.

StormTrooper 02-08-2014 08:29 PM

I wouldn't compare HKS and Borla... If you're going to spend hks money then compare it to JDL.

If you're hell bent on spending more money on HKS from Japan then no amount of logic will change your mind.

Why not go HPI takumi series for $2500.
