I received my Tomei UEL + OP. Will be installing tomorrow. I'm already on E85 using the OFT Stage 2 tune, I'm looking forward to the improvement!!

What size muffler on the track pipe?

I'd be curious to hear how either sounds on an Invidia N1. Anyone with this combo yet?

Nevermore · 08-09-2014, 09:55 PM

Is anybody coating their header? I'm used to seeing that as a major concern in other header threads but can't recall seeing anyone here saying they were having theirs coated or that they were even concerned about it.

Was bored and decided to head out to get a quick exhaust clip. Running the UEL header with stock pipes

For stock that sounds nice, I'm still waiting to get mine. I can't wait anyone know who brings x-mas gift for tf-works? (USPS, UPS, or FedEx)?

Stock Exhaust rules!

Stock FP too?

Food · 08-10-2014, 06:20 PM

How exactly do you run this (or any catless header) without throwing a CEL with a stock tune??

I remember reading using washers. But, how many, how thick, and does that really work 100%? Are there any links and instructions on how to do this?

Of course a tune would be best....but I would rather get a physical hardware part first and also not everyone can afford a $900 tune right away and it'll take a bit of time to save up for a tune...so for the mean time..that washer trick would be nice.

OFT is cheaper than that. You can use a spacer to fool the sensor or I think you can get spacers with a mini cat in them also. But from all reports these measures are hit and miss.

A spacer definitely helps with tricking the ecu to not throw the CEL. Fortunately when my header was installed, my mechanic threw in an spacer for free to trick the ECU from popping a CEL light. I drove over 100 miles without a tune. Being untuned, I wouldn't say it killed the dip entirely, but it definitely shortened the dip and made the torque slightly more progressive. With that said, I still ordered an Open Flash Tablet just to be safe and not have my engine blow up in the near future. With the OFT and the UEL Header, I can assertively say that the torque dip is no more and is something of the past. The torque and power is super progressive and linear now!

Yep! Everything else is stock too! It doesn't sound v nice on idle though. But as it goes through the gears it sounds awesome.
