Quick borla stinger question

Planning on installing my borla stinger kit this coming weekend. My only question is, will I have the same problem as with the corsa indys where they loosen up, fall off, clamps break...etc. as I've read about? I thought the clamps that this kit came with looked plenty beefy for the job...

I have had Borlas for a while now and had no problems. I even went back and checked the bolts about three months after I installed them and they were fine. Good luck.

...same here. I've adjusted them once, but other than that, they've been perfect.

Quick borla stinger question

I've had mine on both my 01 Z and now the 03 Z with not even a lick of problem, let alone with looseness. When I added the long tubes and X pipe we loosened and readjusted the mounting angles but snug as a bug on this install.

Good Luck - you'll love the exhaust note!

Well then. We know something now about these aftermarket exhausts don't we!! On the other thread recently posted on our forum concerning the corsa kits you'll see how much trouble those guy's are having with the clamps not working out properly, some of them even had to weld it together! However I'm happy to hear that the borla will stay together! Thanks guys!

I got hit in the left side rear and my 2 tips stayed on and only where slightly out of position. Now as for the rest of the rear and left panel that's another story.
