I loved my borla headers. I only let them go because I'm going turbo. I went supercharged first because I didn't want to get rid of my headers AT ALL. Mine came from the first batch released and I had no issues. Call me lucky but that company has been around for a very long time and takes care of people when they do have issues. Either way it's your money.

They can't fix or replace second hand items as they have no idea at all what happened in transit from one party to the other, used, not used, and etc. Yes we have a lot of time in the product, but anyone can sell it not just us. I personally think it's a great part for the money and it makes great power. Both the Borla and Revworks are good items, but the Borla has a bad rep for no reason as they fixed all the issues and stand behind the original owner with their lifetime warranty. |

its rediculous for a vendor to push a product that everyone knows is a piece of shit... People keep saying they warranty them, so what if they do.. its a huge hassle to deal with. they should concentrate on fixing the crap product so they dont have to warranty them. also yeah mine were second hand.. i am not sure what could have happened to them to cause shitty assembly and piss poor welds. |

But you initially wanted Borla to replace your 2nd hand faulty header, which suggests you didn't worry about them being a crappy product at that point. Your main whinge is that they didn't replace your second hand header with a new one, which makes you kind of biased against them in my mind and is why you have continued to beat the drum since then.
Also, I wouldn't say things such as 'its rediculous for a vendor to push a product that everyone knows is a piece of shit...' if I was you,because many people appear very happy with their purchase from Borla. My two cents and done on the subject! Quote:
