The header is just fine, but that thin walled metal that the OP/FP is made of that reminds me of stuff I would buy at say Home Depot and use a pipe bender to make it. This setup was significantly louder than my entire 3" resonated setup that i currently have. I actually got pulled over by a state trooper because it was so loud. My wife hated it, but bit her tongue until i changed it out to the current setup. I would wake up people in my house and probably other people driving the old setup around.
Now, it sounds so much better(as in much quieter, yet with a beautiful growl when on the gas) and and a sound clip of my exact setup is somewhere on these forums and YouTube from another member. My buddy at work complimented me on how much better the car sounded. I have yet to have a Police officer look at me for being loud too.

Compared to Nameless and Perrin, Borla's construction does not compare and reminds me of a cheap chinese factory knockoff. This is my honest opinion and experience after making the mistake of purchasing this and then moving onto a better product. I moved on in part because cop said it was too loud and in part because this part overall was terrible and at first, I did not admit it to myself that i wasted the money on this.

Keep in mind that the last thing i did was change out the FP/OP to my current one. The Perrin 3" catback and Borla header stayed the same.
