Borla Headers

Post by BorlaBaja »

Hey, new to the forum. I'm excited to see theres a group of Baja enthusiasts! Just wondering if anyone else is running Borla Headers(or any others brand) on their N/A Baja?

I've had mine for a little over 2 months now and I love them. So far no cracks... did you have the first gen Borla Headers? I love that rumble...I'm from a very small town so now people know it when I'm driving by.

I've finnaly joined! Ive had my Baja for about a year and love it. On the downside though its NA and auto. (It was all I could get my hands on!)
I was thinking of some Borla headers to, does anyone know if there are any clearance issues with the stock splash guard? and is there really any gains from it or does it just sound better?

That is something I have been thinking about doing. . . Getting some New Headers and Exhaust. . I have not done much price checking on what it would cost to have both done, but it is the next thing I want to do to my baja. I would like to see pics of your baja, and let me know if your new setup sounds good.

I haven't put on new headers but yesterday I had my exhaust replaced from the cat back (the one closest to the muffler since there's 2)

I had 2.25 inch pipe, a "turbo" low-restriction muffler and a nice shiny stainless steel tip put on. I didn't really see a performance gain but it sounds and looks better than the stock. I originally went in to just have the muffler replaced since I had a small hole on the inside causing it to have a very annoying whistle lol. When I got there I figured why not and just had a small upgrade.

Anyway, I agree, some pics of your ride is in order :)
