Well it looks like Borla is giving the dust off on this... time to start bombing social media.

If you bought new they should cover it no questions. If used they don't know what happened in between the two parties or when the other owner removed it, as it could have been tweaked or something so it's hard for them to cover it then.

its clearly a piece of shit weld in the collector. So be it ... Its a current production run piece the date on the box is 7/11/13.
Its a shit product that all the vendors keep pushing on this forum , just like Jon visconti and his crap.

Would this still be really loud when coupled with a catted front pipe Perrin and a resonated Perrin Catback?

I want a header, but I don't want the immense noise level that goes with it. DOn't want to have the stock header back system either.

I have a catless front pipe and resonated Perrin catback. I think it's the perfect combo. It has a thunderous crack when hammering down on the throttle but it's easy to live with when driving easy/normal.

*edit* if you go with a catted front pipe it will be very tolerable.

Here is mine. Skip to 1:10 if you want a little rev [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmSj0KqKe7k"]Scion FRS Borla UEL, Perrin Catback - YouTube[/ame]

Thanks so much for posting the vid. That sounds really good.

I'm gonna have to get a catted front pipe if I go for a Borla header though. Need to keep at least one cat in my state.

Welcome, and thanks.

I would start with the header and catback. See how you like that before buying a whole new front pipe.

What exactly happened?

I've called them and gotten 2 headers replaced no questions asked. They even shipped me the header before I sent the old one back so I did not have any down time.

Did you buy the header new?


There has to be more of a backstory than "Borla won't warranty my header"

[Shit Luck]

I bought a header second hand.... It isn't welded together. That is the back story.
They refuse to acknowledge they manufactures it incorrectly. It has a total of 50 miles on it.

BORLA® PERFORMANCE INDUSTRIES, INC. warrants its products to the original purchaser of record and for the original vehicle on which the product was installed, against defects in materials and workmanship for one million miles.

I can't fault them on that. I sent you a PM though....

yeah I get it, if it wasn't a clear defect on their part I wouldn't be pissed.

[Shit Luck]

Borla just told me that because someone could have sold me a junk header that they didn't send a call tag for on the first recall that they can't help me....
so because they are cheap i get fucked....

I'm sure your local fab shop can fix it up for you no problem

[Shit Luck]

I am sure they can.... Why should I have to pay to fix borlas shitty products.
