Just need to vent a little.
I just got off the phone with Borla and I'm not pleased. After blowing $770 on the Borla header and cat-back system for my 4.0 liter 95 XJ, I have to return the cat-back because it won't fit and possibly the cross over pipe as well.
The tailpipe on the cat-back has this strange offset where it exits the vehicle instead of heading straight back like the factory (and every other aftermarket tailpipe I've ever seen). This offset puts the pipe directly under the leaf spring if you don't have an extended shackle, or in my case trying to occupy the same space.
On the cross over pipe the hanger piece that goes into the rubber isolator attached to the t-case mount has it's little curved piece rotated about 60 degrees toward the drive train instead of horizontal like the factory lay out. So I need to either bend the hanger or grind/cut the peice. Of course Borla say this will void the warranty. So now I have to take pictures to prove that it doesn't fit and email it Borla.
I asked them to send me a foot and a half of pipe so I could cut off the stupid bend and run it straight back. They didn't know if they could and if they could they wanted to charge me for it! After $770 already!?!? I said no way.
What a PITA.
I'm done with Borla. :flamemad:
So can anyone recommend a 2 1/4" cat-back? I'm looking to keep it pretty quiet if possible.
