Default UEL Header for F23

I've looked all over in exhausts, welding and fabrication etc and haven't found nothing solid on this question.

So I've searched online with obviously no results cause let's be honest it's a d*** f23 lol. But I'm looking for a UEL!? Does anyone know of someone that has fabricated one or someone that does and sells them? Also would the UEL off another series fit? May be a dumb question but hey got to ask. If not I'm thinking of buying one and just chopping and welding it to our header plate.

There are many reasons why what you are looking for doesn't exist.

And I completely understand. Hot spotting, back pressure issues, lower performance due to more bends and exhaust gases getting trapped. I'm not looking for a performance gain cause simply their isn't one. Doing it for appeal and sound.. that's it.

Could unplug an injector and get all of the same results.

What if I told you that the header runners are already unequal lengths lol.

That said, clean engine bay there, but notice how close the AC line is to the header? Not sure how you will be able to fit anything "longer" or unequal there without having to relocate that line to begin with.

I'm sure there are some tuning solutions available from a hondata to give you the sound you are looking for, but honestly, i'm sure the header CAN be built, but the cost really would be prohibitive to have it done RIGHT

I've thought about tuning, in process of rebuilding a F23 with upgraded internals so once I complete it and drop in hopefully end of January I'll look into it just got to find someone local to tune. May have to buy the pig tail from kaizenspeed to run the obd1 etc.

I get there is no added benefits just like the look of the GTAW wrapped pipes when you pop the hood. Yeah AC line would be an issue but I can relocate if needed. But appreciate the info! Might just have to say screw it get a tune and go go from there.
