Borla UEL Headers and Catback Request

[pooyab]

Anyone running a full Borla system? (Their UEL headers and their catback)

I'm looking for a deeper tone (more subaru like) and I like the Borla system on my sister's 335i. A couple videos show just the catback and it seems to sound pretty good but I can't find anything of both paired together.

honestly any UEL header will get you the subie rumble. The difference in brands at this point is going to be quality of the part and how much rasp it generates. You're going to want to look at how thick the header material is and how good the welds are.

Some good companies are JDL, Tomei, Nameless, and Ace.

I just the JDL headers myself paired with a nameless axelback and i get some real nice low rumble.

Some searching after posting this showed a decent number of people having issues with the Borla header. I'll probably go with one of the other brand you recommended. I'll see which has least rasp.
I was mainly interested in Borla because my friend is a dealer so I could've had the part at wholesale. That saving isn't worth the potential issues for me though. I'll look around to see if people had the same issues with their catback.

Don't believe Nameless or Ace make UEL's.

JDL, Tomei, or Gruppe-S are the decent ones, nameless and Ace I believe are el and 4-2-1 respectively. Also I'm not even sure the nameless one is sold anymore. Borla build quality is still debatable for our header, the collector and welds seem to be shoddy.

Yeh my bad, i was more kinda throwing out good name brands. Although as stated i am not sure if Nameless even makes theirs anymore.
