Cool I know there's a bunch wondering. In particular, torque dip especially if theres no tune and still improvement. These will sell like crazy if that's the case... not to mention how nice it'll be to sound like a boxer

I think gains similar to the Rev Works UEL header would be a safe bet. They posted a dyno chart with their header on a stock ecu tune and stock headerback.

NOTE: The dyno chart below is NOT with the Borla UEL header, it's the Rev Works UEL with stock ecu tune and stock headerback! It's a similar design that uses slightly bigger inner diameter piping than the Borla. I'm posting it only for reference for what to expect out of the the Borla UEL header on a stock ecu tune and stock headerback! YMMV!

also, do these come with gaskets? if not, what are you guys using?

I don't see a bracket on mine at all, which is weird. I thought that's what the whole hold up was on shipment because they wanted to "improve" them. I hope to reuse the gaskets from the stock header.

No bracket on mine, i dont think they have brackets, although i saw a pic with one at one point. Dont know the difference.

Is there by any chance you can possibly post a video of what the UEL headers sound with the SRT Headerback?!

yeah, thought the delay was because of strengthening and durability? would be nice to see the official changes for the final product.

NoFear99 · 03-23-2013, 08:09 AM

The first batch of headers was already made without the bracket to make them stronger and Borla probably choosed to ship them anyhow.

That's the only reason I can see so far to explain that.

Should you put some type of a heat shield on this? like a wrap or ceramic?

jwjknorr · 03-23-2013, 07:38 PM

Mine are on. Installed in 2 hours. Probably would take 45 mins now that i know whats going on. Sound is amazing!. Havent got on it yet to test the power out.

Don't need to but you could.

Well I installed Borla UEL header today. All I can say is WOW! The sound is top notch and I do notice increased low end torque throughout city driving. I did hop on a nearby interstate and do a few hard pulls. Fantastic sound! I did get a check engine light, P0420 Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold. I reset my computer with an OBDII scanner and have been driving it less spirited. So far no codes, I've put roughly 38 miles on it. Next up is a tune to fix the check engine light for good. I thought about trying some defoulers, but where the O2 sensors are under the car, they will be a pain to install. For now, I will reset my check engine light on an as needed basis until I get the tune.
