FT-86 SpeedFactory Catted UEL Header

I had the same code and it was due to the AEM intake I had. Bank 1 running too lean, no tune, evo 3 cat back.

I'll contribute to that and make it a 12 pack.

It would be nice to get a custom tune, but at $195... I may have to wait. I am very interested to see the gains also given the Stage 2 tune. Anyone know of a dyno place in N.County San Diego?

I flashed the OFT Stage 2 UEL OTS firmware to the ECU this afternoon. Before with the change from stock to FT86SF Catted UEL header + TRD intake, I was very happy with the increased performance. Add in the Stage 2 UEL OTS and you have a tiger. It pulls fast and strong to 6000RPM (didn't go over that... yet). It is very easy to modulate the throttle from stop, but has enough torque to easily spin the wheels. I am extremely happy so far with the upgrade. No issue with idle dip and hear no valve noise or tapping. I am doing a long drive with the car club on Sunday, so I'll see how it matches up to the other sports cars.

I don't suppose anyone's bought a catless header yet? A quick search of the thread says no.

There are 5 in the wild. 3 of which are in the UAE though.

So nothing on the dyno for the "new" headers?

Yup got the same CEL after a month of ownership. I thought with this header I wouldn't get any CEL's I guess Ill have to buy ecutek and tune it.

After I cleared the code, I had a 2 hour drive back home. No CEL. Drove 2 hours to Jacksonville and back yesterday, no CEL. So I guess we'll see if it comes back in a couple hundred miles.

I took it to the dealer and they said it was because of "my exhaust " lol they didn't know I even had a header. Well they cleared it and it came back on after 800 miles.

Weird that you have a CEL with this header. Are your O2 sensors tight? Is it possible that an O2 sensor or O2 sensor harness may have been damaged during header swap? Are the gaskets for the header damaged or leaking?


I did a ~60 miles drive today with the car club today. Amazing performance with OFT UEL OTS tune. The other guys were impressed. No issues with CEL or weird engine behavior since FT86SF catted UEL header ownership.
