Borla UEL header poll. Warpered flanges? Fine? VOTE! My friend wants one.
 

My buddy asked me to make this poll. He isn't on the forum and hates forums. But he is interested in how many people actually made out well. :thumbsup:

Voters: 1.

i'm curious as well

I've just ordered one, price too good. I've been assured the latest production units are 100%, so will update in about 3 weeks.

Zero issues with mine, even reusing the stock gaskets I have zero leakage

Voted. I had two warranty replacements with warped flanges, three total headers all defective. Got my money back and applied it to a JDL UEL header.


@LavosTRD has had 4 Borla UEL headers with warped flanges, I don't think he's voted yet.

Been itching to grab myself these headers, I'll be watching the poll.

No issues with mine.

you might want to try goldbond...

I was always more of a corn starch guy. If I'm going to get these headers I'll have to start cutting costs on those fancy powders.

sounds like you have your priorities in order.:thumbsup:

4TH one is in transit as we speak. Will vote next week.

mine was the very first batch, myself and ft86club.com got our headers the same day i ordered back in november. yes, it had a warped flange, but got it to a machine shop and had it milled for 20.00.since then no problems at all. love the header.

bought late march and waited until the 22nd of april to call in defective flanges. with photos submitted, i received another manifold from borla.

flanges to the head were pretty spot on, but the flange to the overpipe was off by a miniscule amount. still not perfect, but installed that today.

so far, no leaks. used new gaskets..

What exhaust leak....
