Does anyone know if Borla makes an exhaust, axle back, system to fit a 2007 automatic Vibe? I don't see any listings for systems to fit cars newer then 03's. Does anyone know the difference or has anyone fit this exhaust to a 06 or 07 Vibe/Matrix yet?Thanks for any help you can offer,Joel

Thought so to. That's why I went ahead and ordered one. Received it yesterday and proceeded to install it, till I got to the point of bolting the new pipe to the original pipe and founded the bolts do not line up. The new flange has the bolt hole 10mm's narrower then the flange on the car. Was just checking to see if anyone else had this problem or if this is a 1 time mistake on Borla's part. Will try to get this resolved without modifying ether part. Thanks again.

Remember that the Vibe base and Vibe GT have two different exhaust systems. That might be your problem.

Simple cure. Called Borla. They are going to be sending out a replacement part, when they get it in stock, 2 to 3 weeks. Can I wait that long?Joel

Flange holes on the Borla are 100 mm center to center. Vibe's are 110 mm center to center. Bolts don't line up very well. Didn't want to modify ether.
