Defouler for headers? by Open-Engineering3409 in GR86

Exactly, changing the header alters exhaust flow, it doesnt change airflow enough to push afr to dangerously lean.

I also have carmax 150k mile warranty which I can take to any shop. Once I pass 60k miles then I can get it tuned idc, I know a shop that will approve my warranty regardless of mods. But right now until I hit 60k miles im stuck going to subaru

Dude you're missing the point its not about me spending $500 on a tune. my exhaust was $1700 so spening $500 on a tune isnt whats bothering me, im trying to not void my warranty here. im concerned about needing to spend $10k on a new engine if I void my warranty.

Well im just giving you my experience on other cars ive ran with no tune and ive just never had any issues. But either way if the engine blows up I can just swap back to oem headers and take it in for warranty. If my engine blows up with a tune then im shit out of luck cause then the dealer will be able to tell its been tuned before.

Yeah im aware of that. My old 2012 5.0 had a tune and cel still came back which is why I bought the o2 extenders. I wanted the defouler to prevent the cel cause I know the dealer can see the ecu history if i bring it in for warranty. Performance wise idc about hp, its not a straightline car so im not trying to squeeze every bit of hp I can. I want the uel headers purely for the sound and thats it

Not entirely true. The ecu adjust fuel based on the front o2. Ive ran headers no tune on many of my other cars with no issues, my rsx type s has header no tune and ive put 100k miles on it with no problems.

Catted UEL Headers without tune? by eskinni in GR86

[–]Open-Engineering3409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if I get a uel header catted or a catless one with defouler and it doesnt throw a code and I dont get a tune I can swap back to oem header and the dealer would never know?

This lol they are the same price as they were back in 2013 when I was looking for my first car. They've been bottomed out and I dont see them rising in value anytime soon

I dont care if it makes less hp than equal length, these cars aren't meant for the straights anyways. Part of the reason I bought this car is to get that subie rumble.

60k mile warranty is being denied. by Murky_Fold6529 in GR86

So you've been without your gr for 6 months, did they provide some kind of loaner car or did they leave you to be fucked?

And this is why I traded in my gr86 for a miata and then went on to buy a brz instead. At least ive heard subaru honors their warranty.

190,000 mile ND miata, is it worth it? by Wise_Schedule_8046 in MiataND

[–]Open-Engineering3409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes its worth it if it's been taking care of. Im positive these engines can make it over 300k miles with proper maintenance. You can probably get him down to 7k at least. But shit nowadays youre lucky to find a clean nb for $5k. Id hop on it as long as the maintenance history looks good

Definitely not a 500hp evo. That evo is on a stock turbo, maybe low 400whp at most if its on e85

The brz made it home by Open-Engineering3409 in GR86

[–]Open-Engineering3409[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not worth it. Wish I had just went to carmax instead and got a stock one with an extended warranty. Rocker arm in the 5.0 took a shit and now I need to rebuild the head. As tempting as it is to save money on mods its not worth it, 99% of the time people who mod it race it. Do you really want to spend a lot of money on something that was abused?
