Have you tried calling Edelbrock directly to see if they will sell you the parts? I'm relatively confident they keep spare parts around....

1 hour into being on hold...

I may get flamed for this, but I do not really like the UEL header sound. The engine sounds like it's burping and like a P51 Mustang. The racer noise (Honda) of the EL header is more appealing to me, personally. I currently have a Tomei UEL header (catless - if they even sell a catted one), which I will be selling.

1:Which EL would be best to pair with the Edelbrock; Ptuning, JDL, or Tomei?

2: I just got off the phone with my tuner and he said headers are odd and I may or may not need a retune going from UEL to EL. What do you all suggest? I am leaning towards just getting it retuned. @CSG Mike Do you have any good EL headers? I see JDL on your site, but the price is $0..so maybe an inventory thing.

Edelbrock typically sends you to https://superchargersonline.com/ for replacement parts. I have oredered through them a few times and they have been very helpful/

Q8D · 08-23-2021, 06:29 PM

Jegs carries most if not all the replacement parts (based on the Edelbrock Part Numbers in their instructions). You can also contact Summit Racing. They should be able to provide you with replacement parts since they carry everything Edelbrock.

JDL or Ace.

Available by request only. PM to order.

Anyone else tuned with Delicious that has catless headers? Is it normal to have the CEL blink a few times after a reset? I believe the tune is suppressing the P0172 - System too Rich Bank 1. I continuously have this code pop up no matter what after the car warms up. I replaced my fuel pump thinking it was related to that but now I'm leaning towards O2 sensor, possible gasket leak near the headers, or the tune itself.

How's your injectors? Any chance the ones in bank one are sticking?

I had two consistent CEL with DT on a car with 5k miles. P0507 -idle air RPM higher than expected and P105A - 02 Sensor Delayed Response Rich to Lean Bank 1 Sensor 1

After two revisions, they never went away for more than a week. I was told some care are just finicky?

When I had my Edelbrock installed, I had them tune it in-person with the Dynapack and I have not had a CEL since.

B T · 08-24-2021, 12:11 PM

Catless here, no CEL. It could be the O2 sensor, but I don't think it would say it was rich if it was a leak after leaving the head. It's putting in more fuel than is required for the air reaching the cylinder. Are you sure the supercharger has a good seal on the heads?

I replaced the injectors about 10k miles ago so they should be good. I also put a bottle of injector cleaner in my gas tank. I'll pop them off and do a visual check and bench clean this weekend tho.

Hmm, I did the install myself so I'm pretty sure gasket was in place when I bolted the Supercharger down. I also hose clamped every vacuum line just to make sure I have no leaks.

This is why I'm not sure if its the tune or not. I was stage 2 for the longest time on OFT without any issues without the CEL popping up. But then again DT Tune ran fine after I replaced OEM injectors until recently.

Anyone know how to test if an O2 sensor is going? I'm at 175k miles most of those catless so I wouldn't be surprised if the sensor is starting to go. Power loss and seems pretty intermittent.

You tuner can make an educated guess base don logs, but at 175k, it's definitely time to replace it.

Wow! 175k; how many boosted miles?
