Default Borla I pipe is too short for hooker y pipe???

When I put my hooker long tubes and y pipe on the I pipe from my borla was about 4" too short and I had to have a piece made to be stuck in between there. The car had some sort of either aftermarket or custom made y pipe on previously with the borla. Anyone else have this problem? I'm looking to sell the borla but want to make sure it hasnt' been hacked up or something.

I had the Borla, bought the Hookers and ORY, and it all fit together just fine <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Just looked at it today. Mine is about 10" also. Thought it was shorter then that. I wonder why this is?

I just installed the Borla system on my T/A with Hooker longtubes and it fit perfect.

Just noticed both the TA's fit and both the SS's didn't. They should be the same though. Anyone else????
