Borla Headers

I'm looking at installing Borla Headers and a Gibson Catback on my 99 Superduty V-10.
If anyone has Borla Headers, I am wondering what kind of experience you have had regarding having to retighten the bolts on the headers after initial installation.
I have been told that this is something I will have to live with if I get Aftermarket Headers.
Appreciate any replies on this question, or other info on Borla or Borla vs.Banks.

Borla Headers

Hang in there. I'm sure some of the Borla guys will be along soon to answer your questions with first-hand knowledge. But so far none of them have complained about anything. I think a lot of the "info" out there is from the old big-iron days and doesn't quite apply to our new high-revving, high-tech engines. JMO.

I have only been running the Borla headers for around 3 months. No problems yet. I have also heard about header bolts loosening.. But have never heard anyone with Borla's having this problem.

I have had the Borla system, for 20k miles so far with no problems. I utilized the factory studs except on the farthest rear left side bolt. The performance increase is fantastic.
