LG Headers are made by Borla, not sure that'd leave much. That leaves the Dynatech's? Where does Borla get there stuff made? Man this is all pure speculation.

Guess where the Tremec is made? I pay more for U.S. or Canadian goods all the time.

I do not believe that Borla makes all of the headers LG sells? You'd have to ask LG that question to be sure.

However, I can tell you that all of the parts Borla designs/builds/sells are manufactured in the United States of America Either in our California facility or our Michigan facility. As far as the LG headers made by Borla go, they are built by hand, right here in California, by Americans.

I have the Borla's

Now a days you need to ask where everything is made when you buy it if you care.

Like the truck jack stands I saw "American Forged" then small tiny print made in China.
