you've heard right, I've got the grimmspeed pnp'd manifold w/ the high flow cross pipe, significant difference in low end response/spool which definitely is lacking on our 2.0's.. even more so than when I had my borla UEL headers IMO

True a full header will allow for more mid/top end regardless of UEL/EL, although if i was going to do a header again I'd just go full EL since it really gives you more power throughout the rpm's + spool
PnP manifold/x pipe is more of a solution for the 2.0ers I think since you gain much more low end/spool, i.e on a vf'd 2.0(like myself) and still want the rumble
Otherwise EL is better in every way essentially, just gotta come to terms with losing your boxer rumble
