Great numbers for a tune, intake, and catted header especially with the conditions there. Sending you a pm about another vehicle too...

Sweet. I know this may be a difficult question to answer because its between real world sound and videos, but comparing this to a UEL header, how do you think it sounds? More like the other EL headers? Or does it have that nice rumble? I ask because I like the sound of UEL, but the ones without a cat have too much drone/sound for a dd, IMO. But the EL headers sound waaaay to raspy for my liking. I'm hoping this one is the perfect solution, especially for a catted header with that price tag.

I haven't heard any other EL/UEL headers in person yet, so I'd rather not compare them yet.. I hate raspy sounds myself, and though its not exactly a burbly boxer rumble, IMO these headers aren't raspy either.

I'd be interested to see how the sound changes with an aftermarket cat-back on there.. but for now, I'm happy sticking to my stock exhaust.

Based one the overlay from 2forme it looks like the stock exhaust is holding back the midrange on the header run.

Super impressive results from stock exhaust IMO.

2 different cars 2 different climates and this was 76% ethanol so you cant do a apples/apples comparison from 2 different cars its best to compare our test vehicles before/after not someone else. il sure there is more to be had but this customer wanted his stock exhaust and we wanted to show the potential. If you check most other cars even with full exhaust how many are hitting 160+ ft lbs of tq

Completely understand. I was saying that I was impressed with the results.
