Default Borla Catback not fitting...

Hey guys,

I put my borla catback on a few days ago, and the tips arent centered where they should be...

I assembled it all loose, and tried to wiggle everything to get the tips to line up, but no matter what I do, they will not cooperate... I spent a couple hours putting it on. and at the time I decided it was good enough. (I have a lot to do to finish the car, but its been in the back of my mind...

I searched, and it seems I the only tard that had a problem with the install...

Any thoughts?

Question

Line up -- in what sense? Show pictures of the issue and the exhaust hangers you are using.

Sounds like maybe you got a lemon from Borla -- I had a lot of issues with mine until they got it right -- had to ship me multiple replacement parts. Did you phone Borla about the issues?!

When I had tips, mine didnt line up either - they were way too far out. I finally had to soft strap the tips together, cinch it super tight, and use a blowtorch to heat the pipes

I finally got tired of adjusting them and dumped the exhaust and fake mounted some corsa clones
