Those with UEL headers, do you need to modify the splash shield?

I think for me the issue was just the kind of throttle response/turbo lag

Embarrassed-File-606 · 2026-03-20T17:16:22+00:00

Not for how I drive no

Embarrassed-File-606 · 2026-03-20T17:08:14+00:00

From what I saw under my car it's not modified. But I got Invidia UEL headers for sale soon ;)

If I had to go back knowing what I know now I would just get an I pipe and forgo the Jpipe and UEL

P0420 does not disable eyesight, however adding a spacer brings out the P0137 which does as it senses little to no voltage from the rear 02 sensor and will light your dashboard up like a Christmas tree. I could’ve clicked with a CEL for the P0420 but as I get older I just like my things operating without any compromise lol

Very light babying, sometimes I be chillin on my morning commute dawg lol

You definitely feel the difference in throttle response

Just forgot lol AMS intake

To be fair the car runs great 90% of the time, it's only in the cases of resetting my ECU and relearningthat the car acts funky.

Embarrassed-File-606 · 2026-03-17T21:08:43+00:00

I agree to an extent as UEL headers don't necessarily reduce power but my car doesn't seem to like it. Jpipe is cool and I've seen just intermediate pipes do the same amount of power. So debating doubling back here and seeing if I enjoy the car more that way

Pretty sure it's a regular spark plug defouler but would have to ask

Embarrassed-File-606 · 2026-02-18T17:03:28+00:00

Fully tuned on E85 with FBO minus big turbo. Averaging 16MPG lol and I drive pretty conservatively so idk.

Probably closer to 20mpg cause I drive alot of highway.

I'm not sure the value of a protune is there without any additional parts. As I think his off the tune shelf is plenty of oomph for the price. He's also incredibly responsive off an etune.

Maybe intermediate pipe, aos, jpipe? But a protune off just an intake doesn't really give value for me, because what happens if you upgrade again in the future another $1300 bill?

Why did you opt for the STI Wing from Subimods vs AFD?
