scoobyscoodle Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 The general consensus among those who have done headers before is get a quality set of EL, or stick with manifolds and save your money. The real gains are with EL, UEL is just perpetuating factory inefficientcy. You should wrap them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutbackXT05 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Im going equal length so I dont crack my 2 and 4 pistons again. Oh and the slightly added power. And so people will think my outback is N/A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockerGT Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Unless you're going equal, don't waste your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac88 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Unless you're going equal, don't waste your money. I am personally going EL but an aftermarket UEL will still yield noticeable gains.

ruggerheist Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 ^huh? not sure what kind of gains you speak of with UEL besides gain of exhaust loudness. OP I have Tomei EL headers, which by the way are a work of art. i dont have a base dyno but after installing them i put down 347 ft-lbs on stock injectors turbo and motor. some dont like the way they sound (sounds like a smoothed out boxer) but I for one love it. You wont get much HP gain from headers either way you go, but you will get a bit more torque out of EL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I was running a old ass tune from infamous which I wasn't tuned for the header or the tmic at the time. Wonder what I'll put down now that I'm running a tune for the header. Well it was tuned for the tmic and now I run a fmic but meh. 276hp/347tq On a DynoJet Dyno Video - Had a big lean spot as you can tell in the second pull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
