It's a white label product. They probably come from the same factory hence the similarities. The shape of the runners are slightly different.

oh, and the price is pretty "knocked off" as well lol.

Buy this uel and don't look back! I've been super happy with it, I should've had UEL a looooong time ago.

^ What he said. The quality is great and the welds are really nice. Fit was perfect. I've had mine on for a few weeks and have no complaints.

would anyone happen to know how this sounds with a berk style dual muffler delete? trying to get that typical subaru rumble, and also after installing these headers is it bad to drive it without tune for a while (about a month and a half)? thankssss

Nope. A tune just balances everything out and net you more hp. But besides that if you're not focus on that really don't need a tune right away. It can wait.

I dont know how well-crafted Greddy gaskets are, but I'm sure pleased to see it bundled with this header. Can't wait to install it.

It is really hard to find 60mm gaskets that will fit the header. I made a mistake and ordered the wrong O.P. gasket. The Greddy one should be fine on this application. Thank you.

Im currently running that setup. It is excessively loud, make sure to throw it into gear on a cold start and just let it warm up longer. But the sound is awesome. I'll try to record it sometime in the next few days and I'll post it up for you to hear it. I love it, but I'm constantly worried about getting a ticket for it lol

I just ordered mine over the weekend. Just can't beat the price for the quality you get. Should get here by the end of the week.

No kidding. I'm not sure why ANYONE would buy the Borla header, when the Gruppe-s is $150 cheaper, and the welds/collector are of drastically higher quality.

how's everyone doing with CELs? getting them or not getting them? anyone using an O2 spacer(s).

I didn't get a CEL at all, however I flashed an OFT stage 2 tune before starting the car following header install. Not sure if the Stage 2 automatically disables the CEL or not, but if it doesn't then I never have seen the CEL since header install.

Your chance to get CEL is very high without the tune. It may not throw CEL with O2 spacer, but it seems the spacer doesn't always work. If you can, get the OFT. Their tune is way less prone to knock + you get no CEL + extra power.

Yes, OFT stg2 disables CEL.
