Borla's Arrived!
Quad oval Stinger's made it by Brown as hoped. 
The install is Friday if the weather cooperates. I've seen a lot of pic's from the rear with these on. I can't get a good feel because of the angles of the pictures. I'm curious how much you see of the pipes and/or mufflers and if it is worth the hassle to attempt a polish job on them before the installation.

You're going to love them. I didn't mess with trying to polish them before installation, but I do give them a little extra attention each time I wash the car.

I found they sounded better after getting a couple of hundred miles on them. Alot of drives around the block
Oh, "and your going to love them"
I lucked out, I found a shop to do it for like $38 and some change
Congrats,
Mike

I'm curious how much you see of the pipes and/or mufflers and if it is worth the hassle to attempt a polish job on them before the installation.I didn't go for the mufflers being exposed because I didn't want to back into a spot and rip them off. A nice clean look with them tucked under just like the stock ones it came with. Exposed would make them look like those "zoomies" with the mufflers looking like big chrome fire extinguishers..
