Fun With Borla Headers!!! Videos Inside!!
We got one of the Borla Headers on the first run and installed it tonight on a customers car!
Let me say first and foremost, videos do this no justice, it sounds like a mean STI! The volume is great, a little loud, but it's worth it for sure. Inside the car it sounds great, outside the car it sounds great, you can hear it coming from 100 yards away! The Set Up Before Install: Visconti Stage 1 Flash Invidia Q300 Cat Back Invidia Catless Front Pipe Perrin Over Pipe Power band definitely shifted to the lower end, the low and mid range picked up a lot over the previous setup. I feel like torque has increased a bit based on my butt dyno. We would like to get on a dyno soon to see what it puts down, but I'm datalogging and having adjustments made before we do that. Just thought I'd share some 3rd party results! These are starting to ship now, so let me know if you're in for one! Interior Exterior Enjoy! |

Sounds very nice. A little loud for a daily, IMO, but would be a hoot to flog on a nice day.

No leaks, I always lift the car up after install and check for leaks before I put the covers back on. The header comes with new bolts for the header to over pipe connection as well.

For anyone attempting the install, be careful removing the stock a/f sensors, I've had 2 so far on low mileage cars come out very difficult and try to strip.

Ugh, that catless front pipe adds that bit of rasp I can't stand. Sounds really good otherwise, but a few notes in the exhaust are a bit off. The cat fixes that. Otherwise, great rumble!

You do have a point, however, for what it's worth, the video makes it sound a bit raspier than it is in person.
