Liam, you freaking lurker. You need a build thread.
This here looks about as perfect as could possibly be:
When did you get Borla cans?
Thanks, John. And I'm too effin lazy to make a build thread; I prefer my 1 post a month routine
I've had the Borla's for about 2 months, but just had them installed 3 weeks ago. I flat blacked the cans today. I can't leave my exhaust alone, but I think I'm finally done. The final specs on my Frankenstein exhaust are: FI RHFC --> Tanabe Y-Pipe with outlet modified to fit --> 2.25in Magnaflow Tru-X Pipe Muffler --> 2.25in custom mid-pipe with 22" long MBRP Resonators --> 2.25in Borla Boomer 40060 Mufflers with ebay oval tips.

22" resonators? Did you have to find a mandrel bender for the custom exhaust work? This is an option I am considering sometime next year to upgrade my Tanabe, but I don't know of many shops that can do mandrel bending. Most exhaust shops do "crush bends".
Every shop uses a mandrel to bend pipes. It's the nature of the business. You have to ask for non-crush bend pipes. Been there, learned a hard lesson.
I could've sworn a mandrel bender machine costs like $50,000 and only some shops have them. Unless there's another way? Don't wanna hijack this thread soooo... Today I drove over 550miles (NJ to NC) with my G, creeping towards 50k miles on a 2012... Wooo

My exhaust has mandrel bends, but my shop doesn't have a mandrel machine nor does it need one. All my shop does is order the mandrel bent piping it needs from Vibrant: Vibrant Performance .
Our exhaust system doesn't require complex bends, so most off the shelf mandrel bent tubing will do the job.

Ahh I never thought of that, thanks for clarifying!
