time to go stage2 with catless header, help me choose one - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

stlgrym3 · 03-27-2018, 10:08 PM

i will go with EL because eventually i will go FI. i always go with well known brands and my budget is about $800. so far i'm choosing between Tomei, JDL, OFH. i have a Greddy Supreme SP catback and i will do stage2 tune with OFT. Please chime in with your suggestions.

Ofh is unequal. I would look at skunk el.

I did the OFH cause 1) I got a good deal on it and 2) theres a specific aggressive tune that you can run

By specific tune did u mean the off the shelf stage2 tune? Or some custom tune you have to request via Shiv?

Yeah off the shelf. The stg2+ version that shiv made to use with the header

so stage2 is for non-OF brand headers, and stage2+ is for OFH, correct?

I run a P&L catted 4-1 header with a Greddy SP Elite axle back (same muffler as what you have):

Sounds great, great power, and header adapts to P&L's nice turbo kit if you decide you want to go that direction when you go FI.

Just ordered Tomei EL header today, chose EL mainly for future proof for going FI down the road. can anyone told me what the non-Subaru rumble of EL header sound like?

Like an Audi or Evo or new WRX. I have a 2010 LGT with factory ELH and it sounds basically like any other turbo 4.

I'm guessing you're planning to go SC correct? Because very few turbo kits allow you to use non-native headers.

Yes I’m leaning toward SC in the future.

Incorrect. The Stage 2+ is based on the OFH but is not specific to it ( at least on the new v4 tunes http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126180)

Stage 2 = catted aftermarket header
Stage 2+ = uncatted aftermarket header

There is no difference for EL and UEL any longer
