Wow this is a steal. Hmm maybe just maybe.

WhiteFRS69 · 06-15-2015, 01:24 PM

if so.. how was fitment?

Jake_86 · 06-15-2015, 10:24 PM

since its uel , catless and looks similar design to the open flash header, the oft uel roms should work reasnobly well

Decided to throw caution to the wind and install the header today. Had to use a rubber mallet to get it to fit because the flanges were off by about 1/8th of an inch. But after banging on one side, it slipped right on. Then, fitment to the overpipe was mediocre at best. Used two gaskets to seal that up nicely.

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this header to anyone with the trouble I had getting it to fit, then getting the header to OP connection done. For the price, the headaches are minor, and the build quality is decent enough.

But, it does have a nice sound to it and I feel like there's some gains. So if you aren't totally useless with a wrench, this could be for you. Or you could spend the extra couple hundred and get an OpenFlash header or a Tomei.

Like others have said, you'll need a tune to fully feel all the power an UEL header can give you. But i can honestly feel a difference currently without being tuned yet. Mainly from not having an extra restrictive cat in the header makes a huge difference. Highly recommend this product!

That's funny. That is what I have been saying regarding my cat back and downpipe. Who needs a radio when you have the subie track playing! I think I will get this header cause I am cheap and don't believe you always have to have a big name to get a quality or good, working product.

I am afraid of it getting even louder than it already is, but I am hoping instead of louder it just sounds even better.

Thanks for the review, video, and post!

Any update on the dyno?

KevinK121 · 08-20-2015, 05:21 PM

I should probably add my review.

Fitment with the stock overpipe was not good. The gasket they supplied had a hole blown through the wall after a week and a half.

Fitment with the nameless front/over pipe was surprisingly very very good.

I still have an exhaust leak at the block and need to see if it's unlevel. Just by what I'm seeing g and experiencing I need to get it milled flat. Woohoo....

I'm really tempted to buy this now as the price is extremely good for the value proposition you've been giving. How's it been long term the past couple months?
