I have a JDL UEL and I say buy a Tomei UEL. Its cheaper and from what ive seen, gives better gains.

Than You need a better tune :p jdl uel have seen the highest gains for an UEL.. Tomei is better for the money though way cheaper.

Just seeing the jdl uel is hardly better Than the borla on that chart tells me enough How screwed up Your Chart is.. Experiences are way different over here luckily.

Lol ok, because Drift Office doesnt know what they're doing right? Whatever you say buddy.

GT86meMR2 · 03-13-2015, 11:05 AM

Even on their originial uel shootout their was more difference between the borla and jdl and the borla had full exhaust there compared to the jdls stock exhaust.. Anyway again luckily experiences here have Been different.

Most of the bang for your buck ones have been mentioned.

Now it just depends on how long you are willing to wait. If you go JDL or FT86Speedfactory, order now to get in line.

Otherwise Tomei, OFH, Borla etc you should be able to get right away.

What would be a good OP & FP to pair with Perrin resonated CBE & JDL/OFH? I'm planning on either staying NA with 2.5" exhaust. Would it be better to just leave OP/FP stock?

JDL front pipe or the nameless op/fp combo.

No personal experience (not yet...JDL header coming soon!), but I've heard that using a JDL header with a stock OP will produce tractor-like noises. This is allegedly caused by the decreased diameter from header to OP.

To be safe, I went ahead and got the JDL OP and resonated FP to go with my UEL header.

I'm thinking about the JDL front pipe. Does anyone have experience with JDL FP and OFH?

I remember seeing a thread where JDL posted some thermal simulation pics demonstrating the issue when pairing their header with stock OP. I can't seem to find it anymore. If there isn't much quality/performance to be gained from JDL vs OFH, I'll probably go with OFH+OFT+Perrin CBE.
