UEL headers for BRZ
Hey guys
So I have a limited BRZ and want to put uel headers on it before christmas. I currently have an invidia n1 catback and a perrin cai. I was wondering if there are any upgrades/mods i have to do along with the headers or if i can just install them. I also plan to tune it soon after headers, im thinking of going OFT. Any suggestions for the notorious Scooby rumble + deep sound? |

You can certainly just bolt and go but to get all the "benefits" of a header, you need a tune. If you decide to go with a catless header, you will need to deal with the resulting CEL, which the OFT will take care of. I currently have the Tomei UEL header with the OFT stage 2 tune and it really wakes the car up. Are you in Sparks, MD?

any catless header is going to be pretty loud with an N1 catback though, maybe read the Basic Bolt on Mods link below |

I have the Tsudo UEL header which I use with an OFT stage 2 tune. I haven't had it dyno'd or anything so I can't tell you if it's better or worse than the OFH, but it does register nicely on the butt dyno along with the OFT tune. The header is only $360, and if you email them, they will likely honor a 20% off coupon that just ended 'TSUDO20'.
There are sound clips and pics in my first post: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=98169 |

I really don't think there will be much difference between any of the vendors UEL headers as far as sound goes (as long as you are comparing catless vs catless) Here's my setup which is stock exhaust except for the Tomei UEL header, TRD drop in filter and the OFT stage 2 tune. Cold start is loud due to the tune (heating up the cat in the front pipe faster) but other than that, it's pretty quiet. Halfway thru the clip are some revs so you can hear the "rumble". [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELSChRVBm_k"]Tomei UEL with OFT Stg 2 on BRZ - YouTube[/ame] I'm sure if you search long enough, you can find a clip of the UEL header and N1 catback combo.

Edit: Sorry, I explained what a bolt-on is, not what the difference is. There is no difference because a header is a bolt-on. Last edited by B-R-Z; 12-06-2015 at 06:37 PM. |

For example, a header.

You know, I'm not exactly sure where the line is anymore. Basically anything is a bolt-on the way I look at things.
