Why the hell you guys are getting the one with 2.5" outlets instead of 2.25" is beyond me lol.

The differential is occupying the space that the muffler would need if it was moved any further back.
I.e. my Borla as installed the way I've documented here can't be moved any further back.
You could get a couple of 45* pipes (or a single) and have it exit out the side....or via a turndown at the side.
Hi,
I'm in canada too,
Where did you get yours for 140Ca?
I would like to get one from this side of the border if possible...
Thanks

Wish i would have found this post before i installed the borla 40349 that has 2.5" out LOL.
Had it installed a couple days ago and I get drone on the freeway. Truck is stock other than leveled. Nobody else is experiencing that? Dual out side of muffler is 2.5" diameter while our pipes are 2.25" on that side. Didnt have clamps or adapters so guy at the shop just welded a thick bead around it...could that be causing sound to resonate back and create drone?
Had mine welded in with the 2.5" exits. No problems and virtually no drone. Only could detect the smallest hint of drone during slow hill climbs in 6/7 gear, but it was very slight. No drone on the highway at all. Good sounding muffler. Have since switched to a FM 50HD and have no drone at all.
Thanks gdawg, mine is most noticable during gradual highway hill climbs on cruise control (unsure of which gear tho, assuming 8th). Was your drone in the 1500-1900 rpm range?
Feel like I owe an update here..
Hadn't spent any time on the freeway since temps here in SW Ontario were sub-zero. In my experience, temperature affects the sound quite dramatically. In warmer weather, the drone is almost non-existent with the Borla. However, the colder is it, the more sound it produces in general which results in some drone. Most noticeably below 5 degrees Celsius.
Question now, after mine was installed, i lost about an inch or two in tailpipe length due to the Borla being a smaller muffler and not using any adapters. Has anyone else experienced this and did they remedy with any specific tailpipe replacement? Looking to extend mine about an inch past the bumper but all the direct fit options are the same length as the stock tips. Just looking for the simplest and most cost effective approach.
I have always preferred clamps just because if I ever want or need to remove it, I can do so without cutting or re welding. Get some good clamps and you’ll be fine.Going to a muffler shop on Monday to get a Borla pro xs installed, I don't plan on removing it afterwards, should I have them weld it on or clamp it on?
Would just like a 2nd opinion before I go ahead and have it welded on.
- Thanks

They can notch it for you. Nothing a saw can’t fixThanks for the reply!
Do you know if I would be able to have a muffler shop clamp on the muffler without a notched neck, as the Borla I have doesn't have the notched neck or would I be better off returning it for one with a notched neck?
