Header Options

Hey Guys
I’m in the market for a UEL header (love the boxer rumble). As of right now I have my options down to the JDL and the FT86. Wondering if there are any other good options. I would preferably like to keep the cat as I’m in Canada and we have emissions laws here, but I’m open to options, just gonna have to be a bit more lenient with the throttle around cops then

Should probably add that I don’t want too much rasp or drone, currently running a Perrin 2.5” catback with stock OP and FP

If your are just looking for the sound any decent header will do. FT-speed makes there stuff in house plus with the sale and 12% off will get you what you need. JDL does not do catted headers any more if I remember.

JDL is re-releasing their UEL with a cat rated to 500HP.

If I went with the FT-speed one, would you suggest I get thermal coating? If so, which one?

With the sale I would as it will help with heat. All are same just pick which color you prefer.

The thermal coating is worth the upcharge to me. Opinions vary but I'd rather have it than have no coating or heat shield.
Email them and ask what is in stock and go with that.
