Is the Borla Equal length manifold worth it?

Bump! Curious if anyone has actually seen good results with the borla manifold? The two people who ran them didn't post any proof.

Trying to get some solid proof that they suck so this guy will change to something better as I believe its a total turd.

Can you take pictures and show where it cracked? Is your car tuned?

ETS and MAP have good headers. Alternatively, you could just port the stock exhaust manifold and get similar results.

what you should do is look at the people who win stock frame turbo in whatever category you like (auto x, road race, drag) and see what manifolds they run. Tubular manifolds can have gains but for the price people say to just port the stocker (good tubular one can cost between$500-$1000 for minimal gains). But if you like the under the hood look, as I do, you should get a tubular manifold.

You've got many choices other than Full-Race. AFI, Sheepey, ToxicFab, JDL Auto Design, all have options available. check around. Just don't get hung up on one brand.

You do notice you've replied to a guy 8 years too late?

Don't know why I'm contributing to this dug up thread but the Borla is junk and they ALL crack horribly.
