2007calspec is right..theres a full 1inch difference in the diameter of the 2 setups and with only 1/4 in of space to spare the math is not in your favor! it would be flat against the fuel tank and even pushing the pipes down some. you would have major rattles ,vibration, squeeks and heat problems. you would need to find another location to install them...just not so sure youl"ll find one! Ill give you credit for the innovation to make it work though. hopefully you can prove us all wrong.. good luck.

I think they will fit if I bend the pipes down just before they go into the mufflers. Then bend them back up. Being I'm still living at home and its my first year in college my parents have said this is a waste of time and money. I'm pretty sure they will fit using this method, but they might hang a little low.

If people can get Flowmasters under there, the Borla's shouldn't be a problem.

If you really want to make the Borlas fit then the bottom line is this...You would need custom pipes starting at the cats. The Borlas can be made to fit but not with the stock pipes in their original location since the Borlas would hit the driveshaft. You would need custom pipes that mount the whole system lower to the ground and away from the driveshaft. Look at this video below and notice how low to the ground the mufflers are and the driveshaft is just above them. That's what you'll need to do to make it work. Of course your mufflers will be the first thing to eat it if you hit something in the road.
