UEL civic aka Honda WRX

2010 civic Si with custom uel header and full catless 3 inch exhaust.

[@adamstilldrives]

Sounds old school cool. This is all the convincing I needed to build a uel for my civics from now

[@wetsill]

Go for it, u won't regret it one bit 👌

[@ivancocco4822]

It fits in a d15 engine ? For a sedan eg ?

I love that people are figuring out you can do this with inline 4s.

[@Somthn.]

Can u do this for the newer civics they have literally the same parts on the downpipe

[@Somthn.]

A custom downpipe uel

[@North305]

@@Somthn. don't see why not, depends if there's a turbo in the way or not, though, headers would be very different I reckon

[@Somthn.]

@@North305 cause on my k20c2 10th gen civic 2.0 it has the exact same downpipe fitment just that people make them boring and not uel giving it that rumble sound

[@JamesAnderson-fw5ew]

@@Somthn.i dont think you can do a uel bc the 10th gens have a downpipe and uel only works on cars with headers

[@BeamerTheFox]

damn son that sounds good, it reminds me of my old 91 cb7 with a 4-2-1 straight all the way back, it had a note only a mother could love.

[@jonah.h]

1:35 I love how the engine/intake noise still sounds like a Honda and then you have this insane non tinny pos exhaust note that you wouldn't expect from a Honda

[@wetsill]

Most reliable subaru u can get, and it comes with vtec 🤘 lol

[@calvinl5661]

Damn that little flat plane 4cyl never sounded so good 🔥

[@AntowQa]

wow this honda sounds like dream now

[@actuallyrealcover]

Almost sounds like a V8.

[@carrionpvp]

Maybe a old Ford flat head

[@MrPrado999]

I can't stop smiling

[@wetsill]

Thanks, love the feedback and comme ta from you guys

[@lunathemoonprincess5332]

Kinda sounds like a Honda VFR at higher revs. Like that "almost a v8" sound

[@ricksonconserve9771]

Damn sounds amaaaaaaaqqqzing

[@fireman62truck]

I love it 😍

[@garbageguitarist8155]

Needs a resonator to get rid of the rasp, but aside from that its surprisingly not bad

[@shadowsurfer06]

Not a fan of the tip angle, but to each his own. That said DAMN it sounds good! Nice work 👍

[@AJ_Boyce]

Do you have any pics of how you built the header?

[@joshuamorin2762]

Definitely better than your average Honda. Still needs a resonator to get rid of the Honda dart though.

[@PBasschannel]

If i understood correctly - based also on your vids, and also on other vids here on yt -, to make sound the engine like this, basically there is a need to make longer runners of 1 cylinder pair which fires after each other compared to the another pair of cylinders - depends on the place in the engine bay, but usually the easiest way is cyl 1+2 - short, and cyl 3+4 - long -, and the length-differences of runners are determining how the engine will sound in the end, not the length-ratio. If it isnt a secret, can you tell us your runner lengths, also the runner lengths of the uel headers you put on the bikes (I am curious about the rebel 250 the most)?

[@wetsill]

I don't have particular "measurements " I go by..I just make the long ones as long as possible and short ones as short as possible depending on what it's for and how it fits and looks. The rebel specifically is like prob 4ft long side and 3 inchs short side , ran long side to back tucked under then met up with short side...way overkill bit didn't wanna pit a big loop in the front...but way way less would be fine for sure

[@PBasschannel]

@@wetsill , then difference is approx. 3.75 ft...as i read, usually for 4cyls the length differences are between 8 and 20 inches...for example if we look at tomei uel header for subarus, they have approx 20 inch diff between the runners, also if i know right 1320 headers for civics have approx 12 ich diff between the runners, and so on...but anyhow, all your headers made your vehicles sound great, so...

[@neversatisfied4676]

Sounds good but we dont need that subie rumble

[@frias2287]

Nice💯💪🤝👍🔥

[@Mickey_Bauer]

It sounds like a VTEC Subaru

[@dylelibatique7564]

How did you do that? Sounds so good.

[@wetsill]

It's a unequal length header. I have pics of it on my Instagram with the same name as my KZbin channel

Yes, Z3 in the Si

Bored? 🤔

Edmundston I bet?

[@wetsill]

Florenceville area actually

[@deadsetmoto2699]

How come you didn't show the headers? 🤔 We all know what it sounds like, the majority of us are here to see it, not so much hear it.

[@wetsill]

Sorry. Pics of it compared to the old one are on Instagram

[@Beau.Official]

I'm thinking about doing this to my r18. What are the pros and cons of this?

[@wetsill]

Pros , sounds cool. Cons, would make less power in a performance build, but stock no difference. But u cant do it with a R18, caz they have a 4 into 1 build into the head maybe they all don't idk, not a Honda guy. But I had a k24 with the 4 Into 1 built into the head awhile back as well so I couldn't build a header for it. Made a vid on that

[@Beau.Official]

Oh word. I seen videos of people doing it with r18s and heard different things. I just like the sound cause I reminds me of a classic muscle car with it being a cheap reliable fuel efficient daily car. Speaking of fuel efficiency did yours change with the uel header?

[@wetsill]

@@Beau.Official maybe some R18s u can do it to, you'll have to check it out and see. These aren't my cars so I cant say. But I've done it to bikes and the fuel mileage/power didn't seem to change

[@jdznprod]

what is this sorcery

[@itsDarrell]

Eh. Why though? Did you gain something by doing this? Or just didn't like reliability?

[@wetsill]

Awesome subi rumble, honda reliability what's not to love ? Save big bucks on the head gaskets $$ 🤣

[@Drunken_Hamster]

Pics on the gram?

[@wetsill]

Yes have pics of the header/ Exhaust layout on Instagram

[@Drunken_Hamster]

@@wetsill I went and checked right after I asked, lol. Looks good. Kinda weird how this car has the exhaust right up on the firewall, but oh well. Was this yours or a customer/friend? Did they ask for the rumble design or are you just not ready for the 1-4||2-3 version yet?

[@wetsill]

@@Drunken_Hamster it was a customer's car. He wanted the rumble. Has a friend with a BRZ with a equal length header , thought it would be funny to pull up to a meet with a Honda that sounds more like a Subaru then his BRZ 🤣🤣

No, it's a 6 speed manual.

[@MrSagerific95]

For all that work you did to make the headers UEL you couldn’t have made the actual exhaust piping decent? Those are the sharpest “bends” I’ve ever seen. 😢

[@OGbrundle]

And the clamps lol

[@jayquinox5536]

Honestly not too bad. I’ve heard a lot worse

that exhaust does not look good on there kinked to the side like that.....

I love the diagonal kinky exhausts on JDM shit boxes, even went out of my way to make mine diagonal on my Subaru 🤷

@@YungSteambuns HAHAHAHA by far the best way to describe this year of the 2 door civic.... when they first came out i was like WTF is Honda doing... that big ol bubble butt looks gross... the 4 door looks great... or at least i think... i have a 2012 civic si 4 door and love the shit out of it... and yeah that exhaust is just way to big and dorky looking hanging way to freakin low.... it makes me wonder if they bottom out going up a steep hill or any sort of incline... just looking at it i could only imagine it scrapes... the lowest point of the exhaust looks like its hanging lower than the rest of the car.... maybe not but it sure looks like it..
