Sounds like a misfire to me

And the new WRX's use EL - so "subie rumble" may be going the way of the dodo.

Seriously though, to answer OP question, yes there's a lot more to it than just UEL vs EL. Go by what you like to hear first, then go by brand that is proven. There are good UEL headers and good EL headers, and probably not all that much in between them. Some good brands: Tomei, ACE, Ptuning, JDL, P&L, Nameless. I think there might be a used Ptuning header in the classifieds - it's one of the best out there.
