Fun With Borla Headers!!! Videos Inside!!
 
We got one of the Borla Headers on the first run and installed it tonight on a customers car!

Let me say first and foremost, videos do this no justice, it sounds like a mean STI! The volume is great, a little loud, but it's worth it for sure. Inside the car it sounds great, outside the car it sounds great, you can hear it coming from 100 yards away!

The Set Up Before Install:
Visconti Stage 1 Flash
Invidia Q300 Cat Back
Invidia Catless Front Pipe
Perrin Over Pipe

Power band definitely shifted to the lower end, the low and mid range picked up a lot over the previous setup. I feel like torque has increased a bit based on my butt dyno. We would like to get on a dyno soon to see what it puts down, but I'm datalogging and having adjustments made before we do that.

Just thought I'd share some 3rd party results!

These are starting to ship now, so let me know if you're in for one!

Sounds very nice. A little loud for a daily, IMO, but would be a hoot to flog on a nice day.

Sounds awesome! I can't wait to get one of these and get a tune.

Doesn't come with new gaskets, on the 4 cars that I've had manifolds off of, the stock gaskets still look like new.

Both gaskets from the headers to the overpipe and from the engine to the manifold ?

We can reuse them ? No leaks ?

No leaks, I always lift the car up after install and check for leaks before I put the covers back on. The header comes with new bolts for the header to over pipe connection as well.

Mine for my customers finally come in tomorrow, its been a long wait! I wish one of them was for me though :(

For anyone attempting the install, be careful removing the stock a/f sensors, I've had 2 so far on low mileage cars come out very difficult and try to strip.

Same thing happened to me, I tried to remove one to install a wide band and I only got a qtr turn on it.

Due to my customer's work schedule it's hard to set up dyno time with him, I don't dyno in house yet, so it's difficult to schedule, I do plan on doing this for one of the next ones I get in :thumbsup:

Ugh, that catless front pipe adds that bit of rasp I can't stand. Sounds really good otherwise, but a few notes in the exhaust are a bit off. The cat fixes that. Otherwise, great rumble!

You do have a point, however, for what it's worth, the video makes it sound a bit raspier than it is in person.
