Borla GT installed in my base finally ;)

Post by Merzbow »

Yes, that's right, my dad and I figured out a solution and adapted the Gt exhaust to my base center pipe. It is solid and looks great. It works awsome and sounds beautiful!!! I'm so happy now I finally got exhaust...besides, how many people out there have a GT exhaust on their Base Vibes? Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions and help too.

Close, we got a new flange, cut it down, squeezed it into the borla pipe, cut the springs in half so the bolt would reach the two flanges then bolted it and THEN clamped the borla. Took about 2 hours including the time it took to come up with a solution, get hte parts, and install everything...not bad at all. It was well worth it.

Yeah, I will take pictures as soon as I cut off the gasket the borla came with since it is not being used....I have it secured with wire so it doesn't rattle right now until I get it cut off. Then I will take pictures of the conection Thanks for the support
