[QUOTE=StriderTacticaL;5527481]Nah the tips are not adjustable they are welded on. I took a closer look today and I am starting to think that it is all in my head - i'm not sure.
As far as the kit is concerned, I am like 98% sure it is for 99-04's. Does anyone know if the SN-95 exhaust tips are meant to work for new edges too? if thats the case then i'll have to find out whether I got screwed[/QUOT
Borla does not make any Stinger setups for Pre-99 Mustangs.
99-04 GT's/Mach 1's
99,01 Cobras
03-04 Cobras...
and if you'd gotten a set up for an IRS, you'd know

I have the Borla Stingers and have the same problem on the right side as you do. Theres nothing really you can do about it..at least that I've found out. I had to run 1" spacers on the rear to clear a 255 tire, and it's still close. Theres no way I'll be able to run anything close to 275 or higher with the Stinger cat-back.

I wonder why you guys are having those problems. I've got a Stinger catback (had it since the start of '05) and ran 275's for 3 years and had no issues what so ever.

Yeah...
Can anyone else shed some light over this?
I just went to another exhaust shop today and they helped me pull the left side out like a 1/4 inch more and now my tips are sticking out the same which is nice. It was just a simple adjustment.
While he had my car lifted up, I took a real good look at my right endpipe and I swear it is right inbetween my tires and gas tank with about 1 to 1.5 inches of space. I really don't see any posible way to adjust it.
This is fustrating because I am pretty darn sure a lot of people here have borla stingers without any problems like this and I am starting to really wonder why

Lol yeah well new would have been good but I am pretty sure a used exhaust shouldn't pose much of a fitment problem unles it's been twisted and **** a lot.
Besides you have the IRS version so I guess wheel clearance is completely irrelevant for you
