Borla shoutout/warranty coverage

(Not really sure if this is the right place, but feel free to move if not, Mods.)

 

I have been running a Borla cat-back on my Legacy GT wagon, and was the second owner. Had the tips lengthened to tuck on the wagon, and lived happily ever not-quite-after.

 

The years of playing rally car in sleet, salt and snow did a job on the Borla system, and first the Y-pipe separated (hellooo, duct tape!) and then one of the mufflers broke at the can, where the weld failed. Just rust.

 

Sent Borla an e-mail asking about buying a replacement can, as I knew they wouldn't warranty to the non-original owner. Man at Borla says, "Yeah, you're right, but send me a picture and I'll get you a price on a can." I do. Imagine my surprise when the next email says, "Hey, we'll warranty this, just send me your phone number and shipping address."

 

I was stunned. But instead of sending JUST a right-side can, they send a whole new catback system! Pretty cool. Knock me over witih a feather, and count me as a Borla customer for life. Wanted to post a cool story here, and maybe other folks running Borlas in the Salt Belt have had or are having issues. Might be helpful.

Good to hear - Borla being mounted up to my LGT this week...

 

Went with it due the fact my Y-pipe over the axle rusted apart for the 2nd time this winter - and when I pulled off the factory mufflers - they were in bad shape too:eek:.

 

Bodes well for hoping to get 3-4 years out of the Borla (That's my thoughts on when I'll ditch the car at this point...)

Wow, that is awesome! Really nice to hear that they took care of you. I have recommended them for a long time after having one of their systems on my fourth-gen Camaro years ago, and then installing one on my 2005 LGT wagon.

 

Actually got me to thinking about how long I've had the Borla cat-back on my Legacy..... well, I installed it in August of 2007, about 114,000 miles ago! Being down in the south, without the salt in wintertime, it has held up very well.

Had the tips extended at a local shop that did fantastic work. Even smoothed out the welds. Back in business.
