Go with anyone else. Magnaflow, SLP, Bassani, MBRP. After working for Borla and seeing the build process, I would never run their parts again. Marylandspeed is a great vendor.

Want to elaborate on that? I'm pretty set on Borlas, but I'm always interested in opinions and past experience :)

Being hand bent and welded is one of the main issues. Other companies computer bend and weld. Makes for every piece to be the same. Borla has a huge problem with this. 3 or so come out fine, but then with out rechecking the bender they start to run off. By the tenth piece the bend has run out 2 inches. I worked in customer service. The same fitment and parts quality issues came in constantly. My biggest issue is they advertise to be 100% stainless and 100% U.S. made. Not true. All of the flanges are mild steel, the clamps mild steel, the tips are Chinese junk, as well as much of the tubing imported.

i have stingers on a sra and the passenger side needed "massaging" when i put the 315's on. driver side was fine so i removed both sides and compared them, and they were bent at different locations (driver side came further out before the pipe was bent, therefore not making contact with the tire). if i knew about the fitment issues before i bought them, i would STILL have bought them they sound AMAZING!!:rockon: the outcome was worth it to me

Thanks for sharing. I'd hate to buy something inferior - they have a pretty good reputation considering they seem to be selling mild steel and Chinese junk. I don't mind mild steel so much as Chinese junk :eek: Guess I'll have to :read: some more
