JDL UEL Catted Header fitment issues? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Thomas K · 03-10-2021, 06:08 AM

Hey everyone. I'm currently looking at getting a JDL UEL Catted Header. I've been looking around on forums and seen a decent amount of people who have had fitment issues with the JDL UEL Catted Header, especially with rubbing against the skid plate.
Also I know JDL have released V2 versions of these headers in the last year or two. If anyone is running this header can you let me know if you're running V1 or V2 and have any fitment issues?

Thanks

As stated above and or add stiffer engine mounts.

Does JDL know of this issue? Seems to be asked a lot and seems odd to have to alter you skid plate or engine mounts...I imagine that isn’t in the product description

I had already answered this. I have the exact same one on my 18 BRZ and I had zero fitment issues. Both skid plates installed.

The machine becomes weightless. Just disappears. And all that's left is a body moving through space and time. 7,000 RPM. That's where you meet it. You feel it coming. It creeps up on you, close in your ear. Asks you a question. The only question that matters. Who are you?
