I get it....Novel sounds good, and looks good as well. However, it actually yields less gains than a PPE EL header. That just doesn't make sense to ME.

IMHO - PPE EL is the best of both worlds (sound and performance). UEL is bang for your buck if you prefer the sound.
Agreed

My goal is to get an even deeper richer sound, I liked how exotic the novel sounds, what is the closest sounding header to novel?
I would be glad to offer you a spot on the list for PPE EL or UEL if it helps. Unfortunately, they also have a wait of aprx 8 weeks. They have been very good at meeting that ETA though. We also discount the tune pretty good and you can tune right away. This is for '15-16.

Do you have dyno graphs that show this? I've heard this repeated, but never dyno graphs shown

I'm open to someone lending me any set of headers, I can contact Tommy @ Autobanh and I'll pay for install and removal to do the head to head tests

Someone has dyno tested on either Facebook groups or ClubLexus all 3 headers, the Novel lost power, PPE UEL made more low end and PPE El more high end. (If I remember correctly)
