$565 plus shipping from BAT a few years ago. I think it's gone up, now, though--closer to $600.

Hey guys. First post here. I have a question though.

The borla has the million mile warranty, so.. does that apply forever or only the first user. I bought mine used and was wondering if anything ever happened to it if it'd be covered? I noticed the flange on my borla had some rust on it, which kind of boggled me cuz it's stainless. Thanks guys.

I can't speak for the warranty, but some stainless steels will rust, like low chromium stainless steels that OEM's use (304). Also galvanic corrosion will occur when dissimlar metals come into contact with each other, and in the case of your flange, there's a high probability that the material the flange on your Borla is a different grade to the flange on your y-pipe. Also the fact that the flanges are heated, accelerates the corrosions process.
