Planning to buy Headers in June - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

UchihaFanBoy · 05-13-2015, 01:19 PM

So I need help ! I have Borla CatBack on my car now. My next mod is headers to make it sound a little better and louder. So I want to know what headers fits best with Borla Catback ? Tried surfing through the internet and nothing with this catback

trying not to spend over $800.. Performance dont matter like giving more +hp because its still slow lol but its a plus if it does give it a little kick.

If anyone selling headers here less then 2,000 miles on it lol throw me offers that fit with this catback !!!

Hmmmmmmmmm let me guess.....

Maybe a Borla UEL Header?

I have both a plm el header and a borla uel. The plm is brand new. Will be letting one go when my works turbo kit comes in. Let me know if you're interested.

OFH and OFT since you will instantly need a tune for headers

Is it mandatory to tune it when putting headers ? I'm a noob at this area with headers....
the reason why because I spoke with the dealer they told me I can put headers and won't void warranty lol I think tuning will...

You won't the benefit without a tune. With OFT it's pretty easy to revert to stock for dealer visits. Header will still void some warranty claims.

if it avoids the risk

depends what you're trying to "warranty" for whether or not the dealer will try and deny it based on the header.

But a tune is a MUST when using a header.

Don't believe anything a dealer tells you, fyi(well, you know what I mean...) Dont just take everything they say as fact.

Mostly the engine I want the warranty ...if the boxer engine fails on me.

You probably shouldn't put on a header if you have no idea what you are doing and don't care about performance. Why bother?
