Borla exhaust question (pipe missing??) stock y Okay, I just bought a used borla adjustable system and just have a quick question.
This is the exhaust set up in my bedroom (I think thats right)
Now, my question is, I have seen pictures as in:
which has an extra pipe seen on the far top left corner, but I've also seen some pictures without that pipe such as
Question: Do I need that seemingly missing pipe to hook up to a stock y-pipe/headers??
If so, how would I go about correcting this missing pipe?
The original owner states that the pipe never came with his Borla and he bought it new; I am not doubting him as he is a good guy. I'm just wondering why I'm missing a pipe

Did the original owner have his bolted up no problems? I have the same cat-back and that looks like it should work, it was already installed though so i'll look under the car tomorrow and make sure for you.

Just installed it yesterday... its not okay.
I needed that missing pipe or else the exhaust wouldn't come back enough to go over the axle and in general would not installed. I fabricated my own fix with the stock I-pipe. Took an electric saw to the I-pipe and measured the correct distance form the borla pipe to the y-pipe and cut it and connected it to the borla/y-pipe with clamps. Everything seems to be fine now. Just gonna go underneath the car and align the exhaust/tips a bit better some time soon and wire the cutout. (wheres the best place to run the wires?)
