I own Borla headers....
they were the last upgrade I did before my UpRev reflash and I lost power on the Dyno.
If I had to have done it again I think I would have gone with something else.
let us know how the other headers panned out for you
Two other shops told me that getting headers couldn't be appreciated until a reflash was done, possibly due to the loss of backpressure. Reflash was done(and highley recomended)by Dave Shiroma from Function:tuned in VA.
It is hard to say compared to other headers only cause I've never owned any other set to compare it to. But I would say to look at other headers. but I concluded that
borla headers+Uprev reflash > borla header+stock ECU
I forgot to mention that I'm running on a DE platform so that may have considerable variables( ie..stock power output)

[QUOTE=fat3oy;8146532]Good tips...
Thanks for the info. Was wondering tho. The shop doing all my work told me to hold off on the MREV2 and Spacer (i've already thought about those mods) because I have a supercharger on the horizon... Is this an accurate statement? Should I hold off on the spacer and mrev?
I agree with the sound of the borla td and stillen hfcs, I fell in love with the sound, and I have to have them
Honestly, i really have no idea why your shop would ask you to hold off on buying the MREV2 and 5/16 Spacer. i have both mods and more, but the first thing i bought for my z mod wise after almost a year of looking around of what i really wanted was those two mods in combo from motordyne and i instantly felt the change on my z honestly no lie i tell that to everyone i met or ask me about my mods. after that i have done a couple more things to my z which i recommend to anyone but it really comes down to you on what you wanne have/do to your z u know
...
Good to see you buying at least good parts for your z not cheapy ones :P
GL with whatever u decide to do to your z and i wish u best luck bro. keep us updated.

Looks good man! Your borla came in today, so now all we are waiting on is the Stillen cats! I mean honestly, I'm running out of showroom space with all of your parts coming in. Please get in here so we can get them on the car already! 
Can't wait to get started!
