Most "Rumbly" Header?
 
I'm in the market for a UEL header and mostly want the rumble of a wrx/sti as well as some more low end acceleration. I've narrowed my choices down to these 3 headers:

OFH
Tomei
Revworks

I'm not worried about the gains over one another, but I am going to get tuned after to get the most out of it. However, I've read that some headers create more of a noticeable rumble than others because they are more "unequal" in length. So based on your experiences, which one of these headers will give me the most pronounced rumble??

Wichever uel headers will give the rumble. The goal is to get rid off of rasp/drone, saying so
need focus on front pipe (resonated) and axleback.

I'm planning to keep my front pipe stock since I want to keep the cat if I'm removing the one from the header. I currently have a 2.5" Nameless axleback with 5" mufflers.

I don't have any experience with the other two, however, my Tomei rumbles nice and deep, with ZERO RASP! I get compliments CONSTANTLY on how it sounds so good. 'Like an STI' they say! My full exhaust setup is in my sig. Oh, and the incredible low end torque gains are great too..

I don't think you'll find many people who've heard all three of these in person. Pretty much any UEL should provide the rumble.

One thing to keep in mind -- if you're planning to get an off the shelf tune, OFT's UEL tunes are optimized for the OFH.

I haven't heard those in person, but from what I've read, the OFH is a mild rumble, while the JDL is among the rumbliest. I have the JDL and can confirm it's quite rumbly.

Tomei was my first choice but the heat wrap that it comes with is holding me back. I'm worried that the installer will screw up the heat wrapping and cause further problems down the line. How did you install it?

Then don't have them install it, install it yourself?

Mine was coated, not wrapped. Installed it myself with lots of help from local club.

I think youtube exists primarily so this thread doesn't have to. Look, listen, decide; your question is 100% subjective by nature.

OFH has a rumble, but it's fairly mild.

HAHAHAH... well, I think its true! Ive owned revworks, borla, and now tomei.


revworks: perrin OP, perrin catted fp/catless fp, then motiv catless fp, 2.5 perrin res cbe (and unres) then res again.


Borla: same as above, then just all stock minus single exit track pipe...later manzo OP and single exit track pipe.


Tomei: manzo op, stock fp, single exit track pipe..
currently: same as above but with tomei 80 cbe.

really digging my current set up though.
