Which header

Hi guys

I'm looking at getting header as my next step and was wondering which one is best.

I currently have the invidia q300 and invidia front pipe.
I want something that will make it louder as the q300 isn't too loud itself

But not the fart can sound
I prefer a deep tone

So which headers do you guys recommend

And I'm looking at an oft tuner
Will that fix the cel issue

Thank you

JDL catted UEL is what I'm getting once my new car warranty expires. Search is your friend.

I like my JDL catted UEL. I have the Q300 as well. Quiet on idle, but sounds good when accelerating. It doesn't have the fart can sound at all.

If you want catted, go with JDL. I hear nothing but good stuff and they are U.S. based.
Uncatted, it seems like JDL, Nameless, Tomei and Gruppe-S are the popular ones.

There is/was a catted p&l in the member classified. If you have access to e85 you could leave your stock header, flash the tune and get similar gain.

I can't really say, but i have read that the Borla UEL has had issues. It sounds amazing though. Probably the best sounding.

ACE will give you a nice sound as well! As well as a good performance boost.

If Borla uel is the best sounding header you've heard so far, then you haven't heard much yet! ACE, JDL, Gruppe-s/Tomei are up there on the quality list.

I personally have a catless JDL with an inexpensive yonaka catback. Have to say JDL adds a nice tone to it, and makes the car sound 'expensive'.

Yeah I definitely havent heard much yet. Youtube audio clips dont do exhausts justice. I personally am getting Gruppe-s UEL and OP with Invidia FP and Catback
