It's an OE spoiler. The tips are out further to accommodate the extended bumper kit that has not been installed yet. Sorry...no pics for awhile because the car is going into the shop for the kit.

Spacer is 1" thick and is hubcentric.

I want those spacers! Is there enough tread on those lug nuts? 1" seems pretty thick, but it looks rad.

Borla discontinued this exhaust due to removal of the secondary cats. is this the same exhaust? did you get it from the hopupracing site posted, maybe they have some left over from the first shipment?

word is they are making this exhaust again as an off-road only use, and legal one as well.

This is probably the 140189 model seen on Borla's website. They state "This is a competition system. It is intended for off road use only. " Price at $1,299.99.

Can't wait to see the model 140236 priced at $1,199.99 which should be street legal. Both exhaust are "T-304 Stainless Steel Cat-Back + "X" pipe"

These things have a million mile warranty. Good stuff.

It keeps the cats.....and includes the X pipe and rear sections. I didn't buy it...Borla sponsored my car.

You left out the important information. HOW did it keep the cats? Did you have to cut off the exhaust after the cats, and wled the new exhaust?

Yes...you have to cut about 1.5" after the cats. The kit has all the hardware to bolt the exhaust up to the factory piping after the cats.

any plans on a sound recording? i'm tempted to buy the catless one as it will produce more horsepower and i'm in a state that doesn't care at all. would love to hear the legal one first though

TL had their NAICS on road magnets with 19" bbs wheels. looked about as perfect as you could get this car. i wouldn't worry about rubbing too much, it might rub but not a horrible amount and not too often.
