Hey guy first post on here and i was wondering if yall could help me out just by giving me yalls opinion on what im going to buy in this upcoming weekend.


Borla #17284 Exhaust Header

Borla #60541 Mid Pipes

Borla #140496 Cat-Back Exhaust System


This is what i have in mind to get but i was recommended to buy SRT header back system from a friend instead of the other system i have in mind of buying. Please give me yalls opinion on what would be the better way to go or if you have any other recommendations please feel free to recommended. I will be getting a tune as well the following week i get them installed.

Absolutely no way I'd ever buy a Borla header after all the trouble with their headers everyone has had. I'd probably try the open flash header/open flash tablet combo if I was looking for a budget headed. I personally went with ft86speedfactory header.

I agree.

The gen2 uels fixed the main issues

I personally like the Tomei headers. I haven't bought them yet but from what I have read and reviews of other guys the quality, fitment, andd performance are top notch. I think I will go this route with EL instead of the OFH and OFT combo since the OFH is UEL.

which one would that be? the one at borlas site?

The Open Flash Tablet and open Flash Header fix the torque dip. It makes a night and day difference. I strongly recommend the OFT and OFH a.

Yes. The V1 has ribs, the V2 has a flex section.

+1 to this. A tune will make everything better and keep you from getting a check engine light.

ok so help me understand this, what does the Open Flash Tablet do exactly? and of course the Open Flash Header is the Headers. im new into the whole FT86 scene so i dont really know to much about the OFH Combo

It's a tuning platform. You'll download their tune for their header and install it on your car, overwriting the stock tune. You'll get more info if you search, OFT has TONS of info on here.

ok thats what i thought it was, i was reading some stuff about the OFT and what to do and it kinda confused me. thats why i was asking

It took me over a week to get it all straight on how to use it since there is just so much info about it on here. But that's because I over research. The install process was super easy. Highly recommend it.

The tomei's are not made in Japan, unfortunately... but the quality control and pricepoint isn't far off from each other so all in all a solid piece for 90%+ people who run that route for sure

OP,

- OFH+OFT
- Tomei
- splurge on a JDL and live without the rest of the system for now (if staying N/A your absolute top choice, nameless as well)
-PPE's new header.. looks super promising

i think i will do what i have listed and the OFH+OFT because i wanna stick with dual exhaust and not go single with Tomei. i just wish someone had that set up on youtube lol

catback is your choice for sound imo, I was just talking headers.. sounds like a great setup! Borla's V2 headers aren't that bad but I'd go OFH to support the homies

The only reason i put this set up is because i wanted to see what people thought about the Borla headers, i heard a lot negativity from them but i didnt know at the time it was from the gen1 and not the gen2 and i really like this set up from this video

Rev Works is another option for a good header.

If you want to hear what the SRT headerback sounds like:

I was running the SRT Catback system and really liked the sound, fitment was good but not perfect, quality is excellent (really nice TIG welding), but the company is not one I'd want to deal with again. If I wasn't going with a custom center exit design I'd still be running the SRT catback system and not getting ready to sell it. If you can get one used for a good price I would go that route, otherwise don't buy new from the company.

Id never buy borla header, the collector looks like mushed blobs of weld inside

With Borla, it's not so much that Gen2 didn't 'fix' the problems. I'm sure the flex joints help. The main concern is that Borla quality control has been abysmal.

Hands down, OFH and OFT. A header is worthless with out a tune. And a a cat back just makes more noise. The header fits with no problems and the tuner is easy to work with.
