Default Borla X-pipe question

Can anyone explain why the Borla has a "sleeve" type fitting up near the right hand flange that requires a clamp???

I just bought one (used) and was surprised to see this. Thinking there was something wrong with it (modded etc) I checked Borla's web site and sure enough you can see where the two pieces join and the extra clamp needed.

Just seems odd to me, any thoughts???

The kit I got from the TByrne GP came with an x pipe. I can tell you that yes the right side does have the clamp for the flange. I am not sure why they made that part with one side welded and the other you have to clamp on. Maybe to make installation easier?

Thanks, for a minute I thought I had some odd "beta" piece.

When I had mine I called Borla to ask what the ide was. They said it was to let you make any kind of fitment adjustments you might need.

I wonder why only one side is like that then?? Oh well it goes on Sat and I'm sure the guys helping me will be asking the same questions.
