but the problem is i have the OHV, not the SOHC.. so i don't need the other inlet on the borla muffler because i only have the one on the right with the flange on it, so i just was thinking cut the other one off and weld a piece of metal to it.. you think i can do that?

Why not just send it back for an exchange?
 






they don't make one for the OHV
 






why not have a custom y-pipe made?
 






true.. but i was just thinking just to weld it shut ya know

Borla did make them a few years back...ya might be able to find one for sale somewhere.

Most decent exhaust shops are pretty good about bending custom piping. I think you can bring yours in and a good shop will be able to make it work.
 






I would do a custom Y pipe, dont weld over one inlet chamber on the Borla, muffler was designed for dual inlets.

Borla is NICE stuff, would be a shame to weld on it.

You can do a dual exhaust setup into the muffler, just keep the 02 sensors as close as possible to the same distance away from the exhaist manifold on both sides.
You can run dual cats too. Basically you have options other than modifying the system you got.

ya true, well what i was going to do is just leave like 3-4 inches on the other inlet and weld it shut, and if that doesn't work i'll just have the Y-pipe made..

booo that idea

custom y-pipe, do it righttt!! haha
 






ya ya.. well if this doesn't work i'll do the Y pipe..
 






Hey man, where did you find that thing? I couldnt find it on the borla website and I want it, bad!!!!

haha i hear ya

im sure it will work, it just might not sound as cool, thats all. Shoot doing the dual inlet via custom y pipe might actually deaden the sound some, who knows, its gonna be cool reguardless.
 






ya.. thats what i was thinkin' too... oh well, we'll see

on eBay.. very tough to find
 












Borla is not the loudest exhaust, it sounds nice, but dont expect loud.
"Borla makes the nicest exhaust stuff I have ever seen."
I say that all the time, because it is true.
 






ya, i don't want anything loud, just something with a little noise and i liked the chrome tip
 






Chrome? hahaha that whole system is stainless man!
Talk about the wrong reasons to go Borla! hahaha just giving you crap dude, thats the best exhaust on the market, and to duplicate it at a shop = $$$$$$
 






heh.. well im goin' tomorrow to my buddies shop and try and get this thing installed, i'll post pics
