Do borla headers suck?
I keep hearing that borla headers suck and that they are probably just taking away hp rather then improving hp. Is this true? If so what headers should I try and replace them with?

From every post I have seen there have been zero to negative gains from them. Im trying to find the post where one of the members had a written statement from one of the people from Borla basically admitting they do nothing for the Z.

to elaborate. search for crawford z's initial testing of manifolds for the z. they tested several different designs. a poorly designed manifold can lose power over the stock one.
the stock piece is not that bad at all. ya it has pretty tiny runners and they merge too soon, but its good as far as an oem piece goes.

....for your health
I had originally installed Borla headers. They cracked (where the flange meets the runner) after about 9 months. Switched over to Nismo headers about 2 years ago and haven't had any problems.
