I am running them. I got them from summit too.
I like them allot now that they are on the car. But the fitment was terrible. I had to take them in for the install which was very disappointing. But they sound great and drop allot of weight. So I'm enjoying them.

Fitment
The fitment issues were mis-alignment or ?
Thanks

The hangars were pointing off in a totally wrong direction when the pipes where straight. So one had to be bent, the other cut off and re welded to get them to bolt up and look straight. Very low quality for a Borla product. Just figure on 355 for the kit and 150 for the install. Its going to be a 500 dollar kit. It its worth it to you, do it, they are great once on. But if not, go for another kit.

The stingers use small resonator type mufflers rather than a straight through louder design. They also bend around and use the stock hangers like the OEM axle-back. Much more expensive too.
The Borla straight pipes go straight over the axles and out the back with no mufflers or resonators and mount to the upper bolt holes of the sway-bar mounts.
