Very impressed with JDL! I recently received my UEL and was a bit concerned with how the collector looked. It probably was nothing, but Jesse and the folks at JDL really took care of me and sent a new beautiful UEL. They really stand behind the quality of their work A+++++++! Here's a pic of what arrived today...perhaps NSFW :



It even looks a million times more impressive in person.

Main difference is you'll be able to squeeze a bit more HP out of the JDL with a good tuner than the Borla because the collector on the Borla sucks. Doesn't scavenge as well.

Yeah, the quality is higher on the JDL with the welds. Borla improved on their revision, but its still a $500 header.

I haven't checked the welds. If they are I am sure ft86 will honor their warranty though.
