Hey Dino :seeya
My car has elims if you remember what it sounds like. I bought the ones that are the one piece welded design. I then made two cuts on the old system with a sawsall and bolted these things on. I don't know what the Borla system looks like, but if it resembles the stock system you should have no problems. :cheers: After I bolted it all together I took it to a friend so he could weld it together. Now the only way that thing is going anywhere is when I get rid of it for a Corsa system. :yesnod:

Hey Dino
Only problem might be a size differance. The eleminators are for a stock 2 3/4" pipe. Are the Borlas the factory size pipes or are they 2 1/2 or 3" ? But you can just get a reducing coupling if they are differant.

Re: Eliminator question (DINO)
My 95 had them on when I bought it. They are the welded deals from Mid America with the twin tips. I thought they sounded awsome but were to loud and buzzy at high speed, but after driving the car for awhile I have changed my mind. They are staying! :cool:

Re: Eliminator question (Gar)
I cut my mufflers off right in front of them and just welded in a 8" or so piece between my cut and my chrome tips. The only time mine pops is when I'm idling and rev it up to 4500 and just let off it.

Re: Eliminator question (DINO)
Only problem is loss of power. I went from eliminators to a custom system with a XR1 on my 89'. I gained 4hp and 10lbs of tq at the wheels. I did prefer the sound of the eliminators but I want the power.
