Borla, Flowmaster, or other?

Here's what I think: I purchased a great American classic. I had no choice in what off shore parts Ford may have used. I do have a choice in what I buy to put on my American classic. If you want to be like 60% of Americans and don't care because someone said "it's a world economy" then go ahead and do what you want. Believe me, there are many Americans who believe as I do. I'm a combat veteran and you probably are not. My father was wounded at Pearl Harbor when we were not at war. Maybe if you look at what's happening to our country, talk to people who lost their American dream because of Japan, China, and Korea dumping their products on our market at less than cost to shut down American business. Pull your head out of your a$$. Quality and cheap price do not intersect. I will buy American quality every time. Another complaint I've heard more than once is that the Chinese Roush made mufflers rust prematurely. Stay away from Roush mufflers. Their other products are good as far as I know. When I don't know where something is made, I always ask before I hit the buy button.

God Bless America.

I 100% agree. I work selling chemicals to American Industrial plants. If people think they are saving mony by buying china junk they are wrong. When you buy American parts all that money stays here and supports our manufacturing. Buying cheap off shore stuff is like walking over dollars to pick up nickles.

Yes sir, that's what I'm talking about!
 
I ordered the corsa extremes. I've heard the roush in person and it sounds nice. But I hear they drone. I rather spend the extra money to have a guaranteed drone free exhaust. Corsa won my money.

The Corsa's are excellent axle backs and will last a lifetime. The packing won't burn out like cheaper mufflers. Great materials and welding so they won't rust out like cheaper mufflers along with great sound. When I was looking to buy axle backs for my Boss it came down to Corsa or Borla. Both are quality products. Quality ain't cheap, you get what you pay for.

No drone with Borla S-Type Stingers either. Just came back from a 3000 mile road trip to the Ford Hi Performance Driving School at Miller Sport Ranch in Utah. The Borla's roar but are nearly as quiet as stock at cruising speeds. I also gained about 3 mpg with the CAI installed a month ago.
 
No way. Borla makes the Ford Racing and Steeda axle backs. Roush comes from China.
Actually, I just checked into it again after making this post and it seems that Borla does indeed make the Roush exhaust systems for the S197 and F150's at least up until the last couple of years anyway? Roush systems have also been made by Magnaflow in the past as well. It's possible that certain components are made in China (which is not uncommon with any manufacturer). but the bulk of the system, the mufflers and piping themselves are not made overseas.

The Roush systems are quality. I almost pulled the trigger on one for my F150 based on the sound and construction of one their kits a local had on his truck, but I ultimatley went with the Magnaflow because if was almost $150 cheaper.

Excellent American quality.
I'm sorry.....but really? :rolleyes: You say that with conviction as though Made in America still means something? :rlaugh:

That slogan hasn't carried any weight since the early 70's. Plenty of junk has been built right here in North America without the aid of China mucking it up. Sorry dude....but just because it says "Made in the USA" on the box, doesn't guarantee you a quality product. If that were the case, imported vehicles from overseas wouldn't have been crushing North American car sales for the last 25-years?

You say don't be a sucker....buy American? I say don't be a sucker....do your research. Buying a product with blinders on simply because it was made in one place over another is no less reckless than the guy who buys overseas simply because he got it at a better price.

Something to check out, our systems. Made in the USA.
Not overly priced, and sound great.
Stainless Steel with a limited lifetime warranty, save your receipt. (The Limited part is basically don't mod it and don't off road it ;) )
Qualify for a rebate from now until June 30, 2012.
 
Roush comes from China.

You're still spreading this rumor? All you know for SURE is the boxes that contained the tips had a 'made in china' label on them. Until you know for sure that Roush subs the whole system out to china, and have proof for all of us to see, please STHU about it. :nice:

Give them a call and tell me what they say.
 
I already posted what they will say. That does not mean they are made in china! Could mean they are rebadged borla and borla does not want us to know:D u can read whatever u want into it.

So when you asked them if they were made in the USA, what did they say? By saying yes or no to that question they are not revealing their source. If they give no answer then what do you think? No answer tells me China. How can Roush re-sell axle back mufflers for so cheap if Borla made them. Maybe Borla makes a cheap generic just for Roush? You seem to be back peddling here because you didn't do your homework before hitting the buy button.
