[QUOTE="TheInfamousDrew, post: 1766540, member: 41519"] :::::UPDATE::::: This morning I had an epiphany.... I loosened all the claps including the connections at the downpipes. After tender moments and whispering sweet nothings to it, I was able to get all the hangers aligned and installed. One thing that also bothered me... Last night I went to double check all the clamps after a full heat cycle and I noticed how close the muffler was to the drive shaft. I have a balance weight on mine near the muffler and it had actually made contact with the muffler. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So a little update to this.... I have installed the SPD trombone with my Borla Atak muffler and love it!! It's a little raspy at the moment compared to the Borla xpipe but I assume that will subside once a decent amount of carbon builds up in it. However, the Borla muffler was not designed to fit with mid section other than their own. Here are some thoughts with the Borla…. 1. I had to cut 3 3/8” off the passenger side extension which was basically the flared section. 2. The Borla exhaust is designed sit flat and has both exhaust pipes equal distance to the ground. OEM has a slight cant to it and the driver side is slightly higher than the passenger side. This caused the Borla muffler to need to be twisted slightly. As a result I wasn’t able to use the passenger side exhaust tip hanger at all. I'm referring to the one that connects to the frame, not the bumper one. That one was used. 3. The fore side of muffler hanger had to be twisted and could only use one bolt to secure it. 4. Due to the new cant of the muffler, I had to grind off the OEM tip orientation studs that enter the muffler. These are the little studs on the exhaust tip pipes that slide in to slots on the muffler. This allowed me to properly align the tips. Hope this helps answer any questions about the Boral. I will continue to report back once I get some more miles on it. I am also working with SPD with my findings so they might be able to address them or warn customers with Borlas. [/QUOTE]
