Are 1320 UEL headers a good brand? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Corona1994 · 02-29-2016, 08:11 PM

Saw an ad for some 1320 uel headers for sale. I'm seriously considering buying them. I've never heard of that brand tho. Anyone know if they're any good?

Keep in mind that you usually get what you pay for. Is the header good for its price? Sure. However longevity is another matter. The welds might crack later on down the line and you might need to get it fixed. Factor in that pricing and it probably would have been cheaper to spend a little more on a "better" header. However, I'm the end the 1320 is pretty decent considering the price it's selling for

i don't know anything firsthand about them... but what I do see is sometimes people selling the 1320 header used, with very low miles... saying that they went to a different header. That seems telling to me... why would you buy one header, and very soon after decide to go with another... I wouldn't go for a cheap header, I'd look at well-known brands with a good reputation if I wanted a part that will last and has good fitment. (Cheap products in general seem to either not last, or have very poor fitment)

I got em anyways aha. It was a good price, if they don't fit or give me problems I'll just re-sell them and go back to stock until I get good ones.

Very true, I know someone with 1320 header and OP, he's had it for a couple months now, and no problems.

If you sell it Javier, sell it to me.
Since I was suppose to buy it from that guy then he totally flaked on me for a 2nd time and you bought it

"It is better to cry once than cry many times."

I think the saying was: "Buy once, Cry once."
