Hey guy first post on here and i was wondering if yall could help me out just by giving me yalls opinion on what im going to buy in this upcoming weekend.

Borla #17284 Exhaust Header

Borla #60541 Mid Pipes

Borla #140496 Cat-Back Exhaust System

This is what i have in mind to get but i was recommended to buy SRT header back system from a friend instead of the other system i have in mind of buying. Please give me yalls opinion on what would be the better way to go or if you have any other recommendations please feel free to recommended. I will be getting a tune as well the following week i get them installed.

Absolutely no way I'd ever buy a Borla header after all the trouble with their headers everyone has had. I'd probably try the open flash header/open flash tablet combo if I was looking for a budget headed. I personally went with ft86speedfactory header.

I agree.

The gen2 uels fixed the main issues

I personally like the Tomei headers. I haven't bought them yet but from what I have read and reviews of other guys the quality, fitment, andd performance are top notch. I think I will go this route with EL instead of the OFH and OFT combo since the OFH is UEL.

The Open Flash Tablet and open Flash Header fix the torque dip. It makes a night and day difference. I strongly recommend the OFT and OFH a.

Yes. The V1 has ribs, the V2 has a flex section.

+1 to this. A tune will make everything better and keep you from getting a check engine light.

It's a tuning platform. You'll download their tune for their header and install it on your car, overwriting the stock tune. You'll get more info if you search, OFT has TONS of info on here.

It took me over a week to get it all straight on how to use it since there is just so much info about it on here. But that's because I over research. The install process was super easy. Highly recommend it.

The tomei's are not made in Japan, unfortunately... but the quality control and pricepoint isn't far off from each other so all in all a solid piece for 90%+ people who run that route for sure

OP,

- OFH+OFT
- Tomei
- splurge on a JDL and live without the rest of the system for now (if staying N/A your absolute top choice, nameless as well)
-PPE's new header.. looks super promising
