I've heard that the Banks systems in general fit better, but performance, is
not much different.

Re: Borla vs. Banks headers
 

Thanks for the responses. I had my Banks "torque tube" headers
installed today. Sounds a lot better than the cracked OEM that's for

OEM headers had about 4 or 5 very large cracks upon inspection.
