Very interesting comparo! Makes me wonder what a GT86 sounds like with unequal length headers. I personally woulda sacrificed a few horsepower for the sound of unequal length headers, for the same reason I went with GT takeoff exhausts instead of an aftermarket set up for my V6 Mustang. Yeah the aftermarket stuff would've freed up to an additional 10+hp, but it sounded so raspy, whereas the GT takeoffs still added power while giving me the sound I want. If I wanted all power, I wouldn't have bought a v6 Stang. Afterall, I live with the exhaust ALL the time, but I only floor it sometimes. So Im always stuck with the sound. But rarely need ALL the horsepower I can get.

@EJL20046 жыл бұрын
Really doesn't sound that bad! A lot of people complain that it sounds like a honda civic, but clearly they're blowing smoke out of their ass. I love the UEL sound, but I'm certainly not against the ELH. When I finally do go for a header I might just go equal length. I hear from some people that it will to a degree provide longer life to the engine, particularly cyl 4 in the EJ25x. I'm curious to know if thats true or not. Something to do with carbon build up. Going for a turbo back exhaust after Christmas on my 2011 wrx hatch, and having a hard time deciding which exhaust to go with. I should probably find a good e-tuner in the area before deciding. Grimmspeed downpipe looks like the ultimate for an internal wastegate set up, but I'm not sure what the consequences would be using a Cobb OTS stage 2 tune vs a non devorced dp. Great vid, the music really wasn't as bad as some where griping about.

@maxxjettfilms63226 жыл бұрын
almanu04 honestly, unless you are making huge power, I would keep the stock manifold. That being said, a few bolt ons and an off the shelf tune will make more power, but maybe not quite 300whp. but a mild upgraded turbo, exhaust, injectors and a good tuner will definitely get you to 300whp
@msgofast5 жыл бұрын
Heat is due to back pressure in the turbine, 1.5 blouch was never made for a 2.5, measure the turbine pressure in the headers, pull 02 sensor out, use subi oil sender adapter, brass barb with a .040" hole and fuel hose to a boost gauge, ex pressure peaks at max rpm, if the ex is more than 1.5 x inlet boost killing it, it will be closer to 2x!

wrapping headers does trap the heat into the actual header, as apposed to allowing it to vent off into the atmosphere... which is why people do it. Problem is, if your motor is actually running hotter, thats a ton of extra stress on the header.
@maxxjettfilms63228 жыл бұрын
Its a good tradeoff to wrap the headers. Less underhood temperature and keeping the heat in the headers increases exhaust efficiency. Thereby increasing turbo performance. Since going with the stronger headers, I have had no problems, only positive

The power differences from el to uel headers isn't very noticeable, the benefits for boxer engines are just cooling down those two cylinders which is beneficial but not fully if you're just running stock power, he could also help by not wrapping the headers because it's known to make headers have a higher chance for cracking. The worst part is it makes it sound like a Honda, I'm pretty sure that's why the brand is called killer bee, it has a buzz instead of a rumble.

@revym33668 жыл бұрын
Only thing I can think of that makes this worth it...is the fact that compared to Tomeis EL header is the header design...since a stock header is 4 to 1 & kb is 4 to 1 is able to maintain the distinct low rumble note that equalizes a bit up top...Tomei being 4 to 2 to 1 just sounds awful imo. Good purchase.
