OH hell. Forget it then. I called Autoanything, the vendor I bought it through. They contact Borla and work something out. Should know something in 24-48hrs. Guessing they're going to say it's used and I own their chinsey product. The barbed hangers really ticks me off, b/c that was one thing I wanted, nice hangers. Not metal rod. Their system looks like a custom muffler shop job, but clamped, and won't line up.

I've always had to trim or modify Borla & Magnaflow systems as well! And I hate slip fits as well. They use them because they are much cheaper to produce vs. flanges.

I have a FedEx Tracking # for my HKS supposedly. I think this is the last HKS Sedan exhaust in the country. What a debacle. Should have left the stock exhaust on and saved my money and just gone to the strip club or gym with all my spare time. Jeez, what a PITA. Everything I've modified on this car is a pain. When I had rims put on the Benz dealer rashed up a rim. I get an exhaust and this crap happens. Window tint and LED lights and maintenance went smooth.

Overall this system sucks on fitment. My plan is to get a refund on it being it's literally new. I spent 4hrs on the intial install and about another 4hrs today trying to get things to work right. That's a lot of effort and time on my behalf.


Probably going with a Vanguard b/c they includ some shims to re-install the tunnel plate which obviously most other people didn't even mention. Sorry, but I had to rant... I was all torqued up earlier today. Red hot.

Sorry you had a bad experience with the installation of our exhaust. Please take advantage of our warranty and give us a call at 877-GO-BORLA, ask for Greg Weiss in customer service. Or, if you prefer you can email me directly at davidb@borla.com. We will ensure that the issue is resolved to your satisfaction.

Cheers

With all due respect this is absolutely incorrect.

Every exhaust system Borla designs incorporates a specific muffler that is built and used only for that application/engine configuration. After over 30 years we have developed over 500 different muffler configurations and we continue to start from scratch with every new exhaust system we design.

As I mentioned in my previous post we stand behind our products with a million mile, no-hassle warranty. No exhaust manufacturer on the planet has a better warranty. Please hold us accountable for any potential issues and give us the opportunity to resolve the issue by calling our customer service department.

Cheers

Email sent David. I really would like to know about that tunnel brace. As previous posters have mentioned, shimming it and using longer bolts or spacers weakens it greatly.

Hey David, you guys still in Oxnard? I work for a company that used to share the Arcturus location with you guys.

UPDATE: Borla is sending me a complet re-worked system, which will take about 2 weeks. Funny thing now is I have a HKS system in the living room still banded up.
