Sound clips of your exhaust once your UEL Headers are installed, please!

MeehowsBRZ 06-08-2014 06:15 PM

Did you install the supercharger yourself? How do you like it?

Lonewolf 06-08-2014 11:03 PM

Nice to see you back in action, and I'm glad you weren't seriously hurt...

The UEL headers were installed a week ago. I will post up some sound clips for you sometime this week.

Yup, it only took my buddy and I one hour and 45 minutes to install. Prior to this, the only other thing I've ever "modded" car-related was tire and oil change. If I had to install it again, it would most likely only take me only an hour. That's how simple it is to bolt on this supercharger!

I like it a lot. The ~3-4psi boost in the torque dip and surrounding range really makes a difference. It definitely pulls a lot harder than stock.

Nice ride! So the car wasn't totaled?

ZionsWrath 06-10-2014 01:49 PM

Thats a quality jack? Sorry but :bellyroll:

Are you running a stock tune on it? Ugh, this thing is so tempting, but I think my girlfriend would murder me if I got one. :bellyroll:

Car was totaled. I got the same exact car in the same exact color. Just 10,000 less miles on it.

Lol, what I meant was I had to do things the hard way. Bought it at the closest store so I can swap it out during my lunch break because my tires come in. Thing did not work so I returned in.
