Default borla problems...

everyone seems to have their tips centered...I have had mine to 2 different shops that say they cant get the passenger side over where it should be because of the spare tire well...I have looked at it and cant figure it out either so either we are all idots or there is something we arent getting...the drivers side looks fine but the passenger side is over towards the center too far.Any help/ideas?

Mine was kinda the same. We heated it up with a blowtorch till it was glowing and used a prybar to bend it a lil.

heated up the exhaust pipe and bent it or the spare tire well?It looks like to me in order to keep the over the axle pipe away from the frame it needs to sit where they have mine...but that puts that tip too far over and like you said the pipe needs to be bent quite a bit over towards the outside of the car...

I actually told the dealer that if my car had any stickers on it that I wouldnt but it. Take it back to them and see what they tell you. Its your ride and shouldnt be a rolling billboard......
