Default 2011 v6 headers..?

I have been emailing a few different companies for a while now with questions on whether or not they are developing headers for our car. I have emailed Borla, Kooks and JBA with responses from only Borla. According to Borla a few months back they said that they were close to release. I have not seen or heard anything from them. Has anyone had better luck or know something that I don't? From the videos that I have heard I don't know how impressed I am with the BBKs as far as sound goes.

Someone actually had Borla's longtube prototype in their hands some 5 months ago, so claims of release readiness are believable; I think the last word I heard was that Borla didn't really believe it a profitable/marketable item. Think that has something to do with how BBK's longtubes in many 2011 V6's sound. It's awful, imo, and though it would reduce raspiness, it would be largely detrimental to try and use wider piping on the longtubes.

As funny and ironic as this is, I bought the Borla LT headers that were the prototype. I actually just got around to installing them this weekend, and I can tell you right now, that they are LOUD. I am currently running the headers with a Borla O/R X pipe and the Borla Atak.

I'm trolling? That pic actually brakes the frame of the thread. You don't think its a bit excessive?

I so badly want to hear the Borla Long Tube/Atak sound clip. Please do a video.
