Borla Headers Update - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Taber · 08-12-2013, 03:45 PM

Are people still having problems with the borla headers in terms of qc? Any independent dyno plots?

SubaSteve · 08-12-2013, 03:48 PM

Also interested in this. Was planning on going revworks seeing the price point is the same.

Have had mine in for a month already. Working perfectly.

4 months now and not a single issue. Got rid of the torque dip and sounds awesome.
Added new Subaru gaskets when fitted Borla to be safe, however the flanges were perfect.
CEL came on after a month so fitted spacer and no more CEL.

I have a second header. I will also be selling the header I have installed in the not too distant future. Why? Turbo, that's why

Really is the best UEL on the market for the $$!!

Borla has no issues with the new units and as always stands behind them with their lifetime warranty. One reason why we stock them and run one on our own car.

FT 86 speed factory sold me my header and they were awesome as well as Borla. I had a warped flange on my first header and Borla swapped it out with no issues at all. The header truly is the best mod for fixing the TQ dip and FT86 Speedfactory is the place to get it!!

Looking at this for my next purchase !! What else would I need to have to eliminate torque dip ? Tune ?? I have read a few other posts and this a DD for me so , I guess to get it tuned what would I need to do ? Do I have to take it to a shop ?? Or is it done with the ecutek cable and such ??

Check out my build thread for dyno results. FA20Club.com has tunes optimized for this header that they can fine tune for your car and location.
