FT-86 SpeedFactory Catted UEL Header

Exhaust got a little louder but not too much and a bit raspier but thats due to my exhaust being fully unresonated I'm pretty sure.

Overall love the header and glad I went with it

I've seen quite a few people complain about the lack of the boxer rumble in the higher revs with this header. I actually like the way this header changes sound as it goes up in revs. Gives it a more exotic sound IMO. Plus I don't want to sound exactly like the 5 million other WRXs/STIs out there.

I'll be on the following:

Perrin 2.5" Resonated Catback
Nameless FP/OP Combo (catted w/ resonator)
FT86SF catted UEL headers

You'll get a chance to hear it I'm sure...

my exhaust makes it sound completely different but I will try and get some videos tonight...my catback is really really raspy and drony

almost to the point where I want to change my exhaust

I think our exhausts will be almost the same...

Will you be doing any dyno runs? Getting a tune? This is the exact setup I am going to run.

Considering a dyno run.

I'll be flashed on OFT, have a drop-in filter as well.

Can't wait for a review with the Nameless OP/FP. That's next on my list.

As an update, I'm order# 4418 - and according to Yo I'm 16th in line and 4-5 weeks out. Plan accordingly!

Looking forward to getting this thing installed.

I've got a feeling I will be starting out the autocross season without the header. But wont everyone be surprised when I show up later with more power!
