JDL UEL vs. Revworks UEL - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Anyone ever do a dyno comparing these 2 headers?

JDL headers are truly works of art. Better looking welds than nameless since I've have products from both companies on my car. Nameless has clean perfect welds but everything on the JDL is polished and finished to perfection. They have the best collector design I've seen for our car as well. Hard to go wrong if you have the funds!

There are comparisons, just not side by side. The JDL UEL outperforms it, but not by a lot. I ended up going with the JDL because of the coating options, lifetime warranty, and the fact that the collector and research that went into the header appeared to be the best from what I could see. Very happy with it and tuners are showing how solid this header is when paired up with a good exhaust.

Yea, I'm really leaning towards JDL. Just would like to see more and more dynos.

I have a JDL equal length on order that should be shipping this week.
I'm gonna say both are great options... for the money. Just depends on your budget.

The closest i've seen to a direct comparison was drift office tune but it wasnt the same day or same car.

The jdl looked to make more top end. The low and mid seemed too close considering the factors.

It doesn't really matter what numbers other have had, cause you'll never see the exact same thing on your car. The tune is 100000% more important than the design of the header, and will largely dictate how the car performs regardless. That's not to say that there arent tiny differences in potential between them, but they're just that, potential. In the real world, it's all about the tune.

I got a jdl el, and first install have some clearance issue, after contact jdl, they agree to sent me a new one, and the header look awesome

You can't lose with either. It is up to you. Do you have the extra cash? Then go with JDL, if not Rev Works it is!
