Strange request
I posted the minimum bid of $49.00 on EBAY for a brand new, fully polished Borla part# 17206 driver's side shorty header.I was the only bidder and now I have it. If I want to actually use this thing I have to locate the matching passenger side. A couple of emails to Borla netted no response. Anyway, if I have to get it directly from them I'm sure it will cost more than it's worth. I will try calling them tomorrow for the bad news but in the mean time does anyone here happen to know where I might get one reasonably priced. I really don't think there is much(if any) power gain to be had using these shorty headers but would look nice if I don't have to pay a fortune to get it. Thanks, Bob

Yes I asked. The answer given to me was it was an odd piece mixed in with a large order they received. -Bob
