  • tips problem with my borla

    i put on my borla cat back a few weeks ago and the damn tips look like ****.. they appear to be sagging and some what crooked
    i took them off and put them back on yesterday but they still look all weird.. and they rattle a little bit too some times... anyone know where the problem may be? is that just how they are? do i have to jack the car up and start over?

    What I did is made some custom hangers to pull my tips up about a half inch. After I straightened the tips I tightened the bolts as much as I could so they wouldn't vibrate crooked. The rattle is the bolt on flange looking peice that is adjustable, the tip of it vibrates against the stack hangers, what i did was get a piece of rubber tube about the same size as the hanger and glued onto the stock hanger. I glued it down with some strong *** glue. The custom tip hanger material I used was conveyor belt material its strong and its rubbery. Marked it up with a pencil and took the drill to it.

    I'll post a pic this afternoon.

          swordsman,

          your tips look good, the right one looks a little crooked but it may just be the angle

          what is the "flange looking piece"?

          and maybe you could put a pic of the work you did with the hangers, i dont quite get what you're saying, I really need to do something about this

            Here is kinda what it looks like. Hope it helps. Yea that tip got vibrated loose, but I straightened it back up. That's the only tip that seems to vibrate loose and get crooked.

            gotta copy link and paste in browser for it to work.

            If that doesn't help I will take a pic of it.
