So What brand of headers are these???

[crossram440]

Ok, I have looked at many vendor websites and have not come across a picture of the style or brand of headers that are on my 97 GTS, I have only had it for a week, and the dealer who sold it does not know what kind they are or who put them on.
here is the link with a few pictures

They are Borlas. They are their first design part #17078

I have them on my car. Borla redesigned to the collector style rather than this flange type. They were just as expensive back then as they are now. I'm sure someone will point out the improvement. Probably the size of the primary tubes and the collector.

Here's one of your pics

See my above pic of the collector flange. Same Ones

I have them on my car.

No offense intended, but isn't pulling the engine out to install headers a bit extreme?

LOL!

It would seem that way. No I had my motor out at that time for some mods. Mostly heads and a cam. I wanted to mock those headers up prior to reinstalling my motor. I had to elongate a couple of bolt holes since these headers are for a GenII. They bolt to a GenI but with some modification. I didn't want to modify the headers once the motor was in.

Here is 19 sets available from this guy on Ebay.

Borla 17078 Headers

It's been a few years since they made them. Those must be new old stock. I bet he's not selling many of them at that price. I bought mine brand new for half that because they were the old design. MSRP on these back then were $1800. Funny thing is he doesn't show any pics of them. If he did them most would know they are the old style. Hope that helps

Wow, wish mine looked as good as yours!, I think I will have to pull mine off and get them coated this winter. The exhaust looks just as Ratty but is 3" all the way out.I would have to assume that this is a full early Borla system. Thank You for pulling your engine so you could show me your headers, Way to go over and beyond the call of duty.

Ok, so how did you get my picture to post right on the thread??, I tried that and it didn't work so I posted the link to my gallery pics.

They only looked that good back then because they were new. They now look like yours do. I've thought about coating mine too.

Why does everyone think I pulled my engine out to take that pic for you ?

The easiest way to post pics in your posts is..................well................It's not easy

Once you have loaded a picture in your gallery click on that picture to bring it up. Once the picture is up right click it and check properties. There you will find it's web address. I usually right click that address and copy it in the Instant UBB code on the bottom right hand corner of the posting area. You already know where that is because you posted your link. There you will find Image. Click image and copy your pictures address in the box. It will show up as

[image]www.viperclub.org/blah blah blah[/image]

If you right click a picture while it is a thumbnail and copy it's address it will show up as a thumbnail.

They look just like the out of production ****** headers that are on my car. The collector looks identical although the ****** headers were ceramic coated. I wonder if Borla bought the ****** design as ****** last made these 2 or 3 years ago? MGH
