Why is there such a big price difference between the EL and UL?

^^^^Fabricating the EL header takes much more time to complete than the UL header. Much more labor intensive.

Working on a few other upgrades while we have the car up. So we should be back to you guys soon. Our exhaust will be fabricated with sound in mind as to make it the best acoustically as possible and really highlight the engine.
To be clear on the price difference, the EL header is much more sectional vs the longer continuous bends on the standard header and takes 3x the time to build.

Your post says you have a PPE dual mode so assumed that's what those pics were. Didn't know Figs was doin their own exhaust as well.

Post # 81 updated for Exit Flange sizing for header/exhaust manifold into third party or stock exhaust:

Originally Posted by flowrider

I will obtain the difference in size an post here.

EDIT:

Flange Exit size Information:

ISF - 60mm (2.4")

RCF - 65mm (2.6")

Thanks Lou for the update on oem flange size Isf vs. Rcf.

It appears from your pictures of the long tube header that the "norma ball" collector design is closer to 65 mm than 60 mm, can you confirm? (Without getting under your car, of course.) If so, it's one more advantage for long tubes.

I can't wait to receive mine & get 'em installed in about a month. I'll be ditchin' the cats at the same time.

^^^^Good Eye - It is in fact 65mm. To mate up with the PPE exhaust.

According to Figs website:

$1534 Unequal length headers
$2750 Equal length headers (still listed as RCF headers) but apparently will fit ISF too, but website doesn't reflect this
$3250 Long tube headers (According to what IredSF said above being $500 more than EL headers)


The long tube headers are not listed on Figs website yet.......

We sell a lot of things that are not one our site, but more importantly since we feel it deserves an exhaust we are putting in the work to do that before listing.
