Generically, removal of the primary cat.
Specifically, the different exhaust sound you get from UEL. |

Orgasmic sound, benefits of an unrestricted header improving flow and performance when properly tuned. Also many of them remove the cat in the header. Unless you're pushing over 400 whp, I wouldn't worry too much about differences with EL and UEL. If sound is your thing, go UEL. If you want to squeeze every little ounce of horsepower you can, then EL is for you. Definitely do some research because different designs affect the final outcome and quality as well.
There's tons of posts all over this forum about this. |

Improvement of the boxer sound and more horsepower with a tune. Those are just some primary reasons.

you get to tell your mates that you'd spent some money on your car, so by extension you must be cool.

some people like the sound. if you're not familiar i'd watch some youtube videos to get a sense of it, as it's a bit of an acquired taste lol.

Ok, very thanzs The sound of the video ...... I am not convinced ..... I guess that sound better a resonated catback.
Thanks again delve deeper into the subject, browsing the forum. What I do see is that JDL seems to offer more quality construction in headers. robotic sorry for my English |
