I'm thinking about doing the borla update. I had the car on a lift the other day to change the oil and was looking at the x-pipe, which I wanted to change as well. Looks like the cats are welded to the factory x-pipe. How is the updated x-pipe installed? Do you have to cut the x-pipe in front of the cats?

All of the aftermarket cat-back, 50-state legal X-pipes (Corsa, Borla, Manaflow, Bassani <-- my personal favorite) require that you cut your factory H-pipe aft of the cats and 02 sensors. I did mine myself and it was a fairly straightforward job. Just remember measure 2 (or 10) times, cut once. If you have trouble figuring out where to cut by measuring, you can attach and align the new x-pipe to the factory H-pipe with some velcro straps then mark the h-pipe with a sharpie just ahead of the flare in the new pipe.I'm thinking about doing the borla update.

Remo,
Silver/Char81 asks a question I've been curious about, too. Did you do the Borla installation as part of the Lingenfelter upgrade, or had you done that previously?

When I looked at the h-pipe it sure looked like it was welded to the cat pipe. It did not a clamp securing the two pipes together. Did you install you borla system yourself?
