Question Which UEL Header?

Hello, I am looking at purchasing a UEL header for my 2016 automatic Subaru BRZ. I currently have a Magnaflow catback exhaust. I just wanted opinions on which UEL header I should get. I was looking at purchasing a Borla or Tomei. Thank you for your time!

With the little info he continued, that's all he gets.

I'm more than happy with my CNT. Makes noises, and fills in the torque dip. #SatisfiedCustomer

JDL headers are tip-top quality, made in the USA, and come with a lifetime warranty. For me, the choice was clear.

This.

Tomei, JDL, Gruppe-S, P&L, etc... are all fine. Pick the one in your budget. The Gruppe-S is the cheapest of the positively reviewed ones.

I like the JDL header. Looks like a great header with lifetime warranty and great build quality! Thanks for the suggestions and help! Would anyone happen to have a soundclip of the JDL UEL Header with Magnaflow catback exhaust? Thanks!
