Default How did your Borlas Fit?

My tips touch the outer edge of the cutout in the bumper cover (98 GS4) if I let them hang per the instructions. I have a temporary (albeit ugly) clamp holding them centered, so I don't burn the bumper.

I'm dealing with Borla now on a remedy, but after searching around, it seems this is a fairly common problem. I'm trying to decide if I should modify them to fit right or try another set. What are my chances that I'll get a set that fit perfectly?

mine did this as well. the guy that put mine on heated the section just aft of the bolt-on and then bent them in. so now they fit perfectly center. you may want to try it.

Just weld it. Same thing happened to my old borla set. I guess now I know Borla doesn't have a perfect fitment like some japanese tuners.
