I dont track my car.
It's a daily street car.
I will keep and have fun with it may be 3 - 4 - 5 years and then another sports car will come out on the market and I will want to change to be up to date again.

Will I get more monney for my car when I will want to sell it because I have a JDL headers on it instead of a borla ? Not a penney more.

In those conditions, I dont see why the borla would fall apart after 2-3 years only and why I should spend more monney to get a headers that will be better than something already pretty good.

Peoples who track theirs cars put a lot of stress on them and may look at something stronger but otherwise for the big majority Borla have quality products that will respond/meet our expectation.

JDL is trying to justify why they will ask a lot more monney for their headers and he said that he even tought the Borla wasnt in stainless steel. JDL is an artist and Borla is a big company with experience, knowledge and big factory behind them and they can produce in mass, scale economy that's it.

This is from the Borla Website :

Each system is built from premium austenitic stainless steel, superior to T-400 series knockoffs, to give you the absolute best in performance and durability. Ultra-smooth mandrel bends ensure maximum flow and power, and precision computer-controlled CNC manufacturing ensures an accurate fit. Best of all, BORLA stands behind every system with a Million-Mile Warranty. Just what you'd expect from the world's most experienced (and most winning) exhaust brand.
