Default Borla exhaust direct fit, anyone tried it?

I remember folks talking about using the 4runner borla plus some mods, but I just went out to the borla site and found this: http://www.borla.com/products/gx470_...t__140467.html

Wow, aftermarket support for the GX!

Anyone tried it?

That is cool. The only thing I don't like IMHO is the way the exhaust dumps out behind the rear tires. That setup looks OK on a full size Chevy truck, but on a GX I think the exhaust tips look better peeking out from under the bumper. It is great that the A/M finally made a bolt on exhaust for our trucks!

It will look awkward on GX470:

- you'd have a opening in rear bumper for a tip, yet no tip
-you'll have two tips "ouf-of-place" behind the tires

Not sure if performance would be that much different from the stock setup

Agreed with the above points. You're likely better off getting a custom cat-back system made up with a Borla muffler (LOVE that sound), and a tip in the stock location of your choice.
