Inside the collector. Not pretty, but not horrible. You can see they filed down the splatters on the exit pipe. I may do a little more TLC in this area.


Flanges:






This arrived today and was drop-shipped to me directly from Borla, so this should be a good example of the quality of the product coming from their factory now. It's not the best, but it's not bad either.
If they made those changes to the UEL, then the product is actually what your paying for, the collector looks weird with the flat piece welded between the 4 tubes, but at least they are not smashed together, also they still have a slight warp between the pipes on the flange so that will effect air flow but it shouldn't leak out the flange.

It's still a 600 buck header, and you are at least getting what you paid for, instead of getting a product you'll have to return.
