Lots and lots here have them. I didn't notice any weld issues when I installed mine about 1 1/2 years ago. Pics would help.

Pics? I am interested in these too but I cant seem to find just the mufflers for sale and not the tips and hangers. Anyone know the part number or where I can find just the mufflers?

I'd try contacting Borla directly. I'd imagine they can sell you just the muffler but I've never seen them listed as anything other than as an axleback or catback for the S197 GT's.

We have sold a ton of the Borla version and haven't seen that issue from anyone.

i kinda want to make sure i didnt get a knock off of a knock off...if that makes any sense.

kind of like you buy a gucci purse at for 60 bucks an its got thread sticking out an the sewing is crappy, an find out its only a knock off of the real deal

since it was the cheapest ones i could find, that would throw up that concern
