Looks like the Rev Works header has a larger collector and thicker piping. I haven't seen the actual technical specs but this one has the flex bellow. Will be interesting comparing both headers.

This has 1.75" piping and a 5" low angle merge collector with 2.5" outlet. There will be plenty of specs and detailed pictures very soon.

Nice, I've been very interested in this header for a long time. Glad to see its here! Can't wait to hear it.

Also, another question but might be a bit early. Ceramic Coating options available or are we on our own with that one?

Yes we can do black, titanium, or chrome thermal coating. Our guy stops by weekly to do our other brands manifolds headers ect. The titanium looks gold in the light

Less power? Why does it cost more then?

It's not confirmed that UEL does indeed make less power on this engine. Other applications have seen a power loss (Mainly forced induced) with a UEL vs EL. UEL provides a wonderful sound by modifying the exhaust pulses which produces the sound it does while an equal length has the same pulse pattern.

UEL doesn't cost more and for the quality and rep of JDL I feel their prices are *extremely* reasonable

We will actually retail them both at the same price after the initial intro of the UEL

Did you gets ever get any dynos with either the EL or UEL headers with an actual tune? Not just the stock ecu?

Other than that, header looks amazing so far!
