Both of those RR Racing options are axleback a for the Borla. They do sell a very similar exhaust like the Borla also, pricing is around the same as Joez. With headers you will have drone though just as you would with the regular Xforce. Bazooka would have the most as it would be the loudest.

Are you reaching out to XForce USA? I’ve reached out at xforceusa.com and got a pretty immediate response. They went above and beyond for me with their support - odd that they have not responded.

They asked for photos which l provided and then nothing, no reply.
Maybe they just don't care

Thanks, l'm in Australia so logically l thought I'd reach out to Xforce here, after all Xforce Australia are the creator of these systems.
It literally took my shop 7 hrs to install to get it right, very expensive install costs l didn't factor in.

I took the plunge, just received the boxes today. Crossing my fingers for a clean install.

Did you take a look at the stickers to see when your exhaust manufactured? my pipes were 3/5/19, and the mufflers were 4/18/20.

You had me intrigued and jacked up the car, my pipes 15th July 2018, and the mufflers were 20th May 2020.
Lol...we have the same inspector number 008

Where are you located and who supplied the system to you?

Ok fellas, I got it installed a couple weekends ago and I did have to do a couple things to get it to fit.

1. Like Slowlane, I had to make a spacer for that rear crossbar to get it off the exhaust.
2. I had to bend one of the hanger posts to clear the chassis mount that holds the exhaust rubber insulators
3. i had to double up gaskets on one of the PPE header flanges, I DO NOT think this is an xforce exhaust issue as i had to do the same thing with the stock catback. (kind of sucks when you pay $3k for headers)
4. they have corrected the muffler hanger issue, they did not need any modification
5. i did not have clearance issues with the rear heat shield like Slowlane did








in before "thats not safe putting jack stands on wood"

but did i die tho?

My car came with xforce exhaust when I purchased, I probably should take a peek under the skirt and see if I'm having any fitment issues or if they have been taken care of before.

Just the Varex XForce cat back, I'm very happy with the quality of the sound plus I can make it quieter than stock at a press of a button. There's about 9 different valve adjustments as well via remote control.

Well done, I'm quite impressed you managed to do it yourself. I don't think I could have done this properly on my own.
How long did it take you to complete from start to finish including setting up ?

Thanks! it took about 6 hours including making spacers and hard wiring in the control box. I'm thankful I got some of my grandfathers mechanic skills.
