TRAC3 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 So my Borla CBE started leaking the other day, got underneath and found the leak at the flange that connects to the downpipe. Has anyone seen this before? I dont have a receipt for the exhaust, so I'm not sure that Borla will help me with the issue under warranty... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v706/HotRod03/Legacy%20GT%20Borla%20Exhaust/photobucket-27774-1327366254163.jpg The flange, removed from the exhaust... it shouldn't come off like that. Significant Rust. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v706/HotRod03/Legacy%20GT%20Borla%20Exhaust/photobucket-3056-1327366206912.jpg Flange next to the connection. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v706/HotRod03/Legacy%20GT%20Borla%20Exhaust/photobucket-3139-1327366227912.jpg Connection, sans flange Any Thoughts?

01rs25 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 If it's a real Borla you should be able to give them a ring and have it replaced. I have a feeling it's probably one of the 208394834349923849038 of knockoffs that are out there though. Slammed more than your girlfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoobie Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Not aware of any borla replica catbacks available for our cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galantnole Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 doesn't hurt to give them a call - if anything they'll tell you where to look for the serial# and if anything confirm if it is a knock-off or the real thing http://www.borla.com/contact/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZP Installs Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Borla has a lifetime warranty on most of their products so I would contact them and see if you cant get it fixed for free. -Jake http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/91072632.jpg http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/133406601.jpg http://upload.pbase.com/image/137566671.jpg Call directly for your best Whiteline Price! | We also carry almost every manufacturer now, so before you buy parts call us.

TRAC3 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 I'm going to call Borla tomorrow... I have a feeling I may be SOL as far as warranty replacement, as I bought the exhaust used off of a forum member (the late Coxx) and don't have a receipt or warranty card. I may just take it to a muffler shop and see if they can help me out with a flange... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeleodee Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 That looks pretty chewed up. I doubt taking it to a muffler shop to have another flange welded in will be very expensive, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they can verify it is actually their product. Worth a shot. -mike http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/91072632.jpghttp://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/141039922.jpg http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/133406601.jpg http://upload.pbase.com/image/137566671.jpg Call directly as We carry almost every manufacturer now, so before you buy parts call us.
