i have both the borla header and the borla catback. no problems with rattling at all. awesome boxer sound, nice deep grumble. the only problem i had is coming off the very last exhaust hanger, but this was solved with a hose clamp.

 

Try posting this somewhere else

 

why is the N/A forum a bad place for this?

 

Many people have complained about Borlas cracking on the weld seems. Your best bet would be to wait untill COBB comes out with equal length headers. Equal length means easier flow=better performance!

 

borlas are supposably fixed, no more cracking. it had to do with the support piece that was welded in to add strength, prevented movement, and they cracked(someone jump in if i am wrong). the new generation are supposed to be trouble free. and the price comparison between cobbs equal length and the borlas is gonna be what? i bet the cobb is hella expensive

 

Thread was moved here.

 

Cobb will definitely be more expensive, but that's because the quality will be infinitely better, and it will make real power. Whatever they charge will probably be what it is worth.

 

got ya, i was wondering if i missed a section to post about exhaust

 

but to those enough on a limited budget i cant see that cobbs would create enough horsepower to justify the price increase over borla, sure the quality is better but borlas have that 1000000mile warranty that you can cash in on, and i still have my old header so it isnt that big of a deal to switch it if i need to

 

Borla headers don't provide much power, especially compared to MRT headers. The value of Borlas reside in the fact that they are just plain cheap, and sound really damn cool, with a handful of horsepower to boot. The warranty does kickass, but let's be honest- so does a Hyundai's. Doesn't make me want to run out and trade my RS for a Tiburon. Fact is, no modern fuel injected, normally aspirated car will 'sit up and eat peanuts' with basic bolt-ons. Not a single one will gain more than maybe 20% if you add intake, full headerback system, pulleys, ignition mods and such but don't crack the heads.

As for limited budget, well, Cobb definitely isn't the way to go if that's your route (like me!) unless you get a sweetheart deal on some used stuff. There are alternatives that are actually better for the dollar you spend, just not quite as high of a performance ceiling.
