Default Change out tips on borla adjustable??

My T/A I just bought has a borla adjustable catback with the quad tips and I'm not all that crazy about the quad tip look. I have a set of magnaflow tips that are new from a fbody magnaflow catback laying around at the shop. Would I be nuts to put the magnaflow tips on my borla or should I just sell it as a whole and go the magnaflow catback route. I do really like the way it sounds as is.

It's your car and money so do what you want. IMO if you do put the magnaflow tips on I would keep them around to get the most if you decide to sell that catback in the future. Or just sell then entire catback.

I bolted some dumps on my Borla system then made some dummy brackets (which are for sale) for my Corsa Clone tips. That way you get the tips you want without hacking up the Borla system...

Is there a borla non quad tip option for the borla adjustable. It pains me to modify such a expensive catback but the tips are just driving me nuts. So if I do the magnaflows I'm goin to try and change them in a removable non modification to borla existing setup way I need to look at it closer to see if it's even doable. I just haven't had time to crawl under the car and look.

Anyone want a borla adjustable I'd rather sell it than start hacking up such a pricey system. Let me know if you are from houston or dallas or austin sa area I can meet halfway at 475.00 if anyones interested.
