Borla v2 UEL collector
 
Does anyone have a picture of the revised version of the Borla UEL header collector or is it the same as the original?

From my understanding they just changed out the flex joints

They made three major revisions they told me. Welding, material change, and the flex joints. The collector looks slightly better than the v1. I just replaced mine under warranty two weeks ago.

Runner configuration is slightly different as well.

I never realized this, but the design changed slightly. I wonder why?

Geez, that collector looks terrible. Especially when you consider the quality of the Tomei for the roughly the same price.

Probably so they could fit those flex joints would be my guess, they're a lot wider.

The collector is the same quality as CNT but they are trying to charge the prices of JDL and tomei. Seems like a horrible header for the price point

Depends on where you get it from. I wouldn't call $490 new the same price as JDL. The sites that sell if for over $600 then yeah.

Yall remember that Borla was pretty much the 1st one to make uel header for this car with all other companies copying the design. Give Borla some credit

I don't think anyone's reinventing the wheel here...Look at how similar an Agency Power WRX UEL and a Tomei 86 UEL Header look.

You're joking, right? :bonk:

I wonder if the power bands are different between v1 and v2 sinced Borla made those changes.
