Default UEL PPE & Invidia

​​​​Finally installed my PPE UEL headers to match up to my Invidia exhaust. Had PPE install twin HF Magnaflow cats after the secondary O2s and I have no CELs. Car runs like a Fn champ and sounds 10x better than it did with no cats. Very happy customer and the car seems toshift faster and it’s just way quicker!! Love the setup sounds so good with no raspiness. Shout out to PPE crew for the custom cat install and the quality is superb.

Evening without cats you shouldn’t run into any CEL issues. I have a group of buddies with F cars that all have EL PPE without cats and we all don’t have any issues with CEL

Thats good to know, the PPE guys said I should be good when I ordered them as well. They used the little L adapter for the rear O2s. They have also said the RRRacing tunes paired well with their headers and have driven in a few and the car was quick. Not sure if I want to add that just yet.

Sounds great. Definitely different tone/pitch from EL headers.

Here is the cold start this morning.


really loving this combo sounds excellent for both daily noise or aggressive racing noise. Also the smell with the cats has went away about 90%.

Idle sounds civilized, which is great. You want it to sound aggressive when you get on the throttle and subdued when you are cruising.
