bolt on removal of the BORLA, and fix the the DTM without any problem (10 minutes installation).
The pipe fits the shape of the rear balance, under the bumper, like a custom made one. The sound is really nice.

I installed my straight pipe center section (non-Euro resonator) & dual 76mm Round Tip exhaust. The fit is for CRAP. I had to remove the factory "welded" bolt on the top of the exhaust because it rested against my bumper cover (l/s of it). I then had to MacGyver a 1 inch spacer with a longer bolt/nut to bring the exhaust over to the right side so the tips would be centered in the bumper. Now, everything is centered, but the lower section of the exhaust sits tilted to the right. Just beautiful- Arrgh.

I know I'll have to completely remove the entire exhaust AGAIN & dick around with it so it's perfect. But, my question is-

Where do your exhaust tips come out? Mine are completely even with the edge of the bumper cover. Should they not come out more?

On a decent note- the exhaust sounds nice, not too bad for no cats. It does have a nice tone to it, especially on I-95 doing 45mph in the left lane-)

Thanks-
