Nice, I just installed the Borlas yesterday! And also have an alloy . Tint it, you'll definitely love it.
So how do your Stingers fit? The guy who did my install said mine hung an inch lower than theydo now, and he couldn't get them any higher. Can you post some pics?
I was actually watching my installer put them on and he was meticulous with it. I was in a little rush and hoped he would finish faster but he took his time and double and triple checked everything, and it turned out great. No fitment issues, but I did have em welded on. It doesn't hang low at all, he put like a bean bag in between the mufflers and the bumper then pushed it up as much as he could before welding it and it turned out great.. just enough spacing. I don't have a camera right now but when I get a hold of one I'll try to snap some shots for you.

its really not all that hard to do just loosen the clamps in the middle and have a friend pust up where it goes over the axle. it will raise up alittle more i did it to mine sometimes u have to heat the mufflerhanger where it bends into thecar hanger and push up it works those guys are full of crap. its a quick easy do it your self fix takes maybe 10 mins to do a 15mm deep well and 3/8 rachet and ur good to go

I took my car to Big Al's Muffler shop to find out how much they would charge to raise my mufflers. They put it on a lift and showed me where the install shop cut the hangers then welded them on top of the muffler. They said that alone would make it lower. The manager said they would cut the hangers and reposition them and push the tail pipes back some then paint them flat black allfor $50.00. He said if there is less trouble involved, it wouldcost lessbut no more. I may let them to it. I told them the only reason why I haven't done anything about it is because there have been no rattles. They assured me there would still be no rattles.

So what do you guys think?

Great looking Stang!

Who installed the exhaust system in GA??

I live in Acworth, GA and am planning on getting the FRPP dual exhaust in the near future.

Hope to see you around on the roads. :-)

Hey! Acworth that's close! I got it installed by G & S Auto & Muffler on Hwy 20. No complaints about them other than my mufflers being a tad low, but it could be poor fitting by Borla. Anyways, I can give you their address and number if you want it just let me know.

Have you heard of any Mustang Clubs or Cruises in this area?

I am not sure when I am able to get the duals done. My baby boy was born on June 6th, so the mods are on hold for a bit. Go ahead and give me their contact info and I will keep on file.

No, I have not come across and local Mustang clubs or cruises. If I do, I will def let you know!

Thanks in advance for the info!!
