Is this the Borla UEL or EL header?

I found this on craigslist and am going to purchase it this weekend if it is the UEL header. The guy selling it didn't know which one it is. It looks like UEL to me but just wanted to get another set of eyes on them that has delt with these before.

Yup, it's UEL

Ps: Save your money and spend a few more bucks to buy a quality piece

Fitment, welding. Some says stay away from it. Some says it works fine.

Btw, if it's craiglist, you can check it out in person.

To be honest they are Okaaaaaaayyyhhh. I ran a brand new set in my car for a while and did not like the quality at all, and if shedding out a few more hundred bucks ain't an issue you should look into other options

Well one reason I am so interested in these is the fact that they are brand new and I'm getting them at an awesome price. I'll be picking them up for $485 with all hardware and gaskets.

My flex joints developed a rattling but all i did was wrap them and use clamps... no more noise. I love mine.

You also won't get a warranty with this header since you aren't the original owner. I wouldn't get it.

i wouldn't buy a borla that didn't come with a warranty. you can get a way higher quality piece for not much more money.
