The tips on my Borla were the same way, staggered, and a bit off. 3 seconds with a pry bar staightened the tips and took a bit of the stagger out. That Borla exhaust lasted all of 4 days on my 5AT G. It's just way too loud and introduces too much vibration thanks to Borla leaving out the OEM flex sections in the Y-pipe.

Some of the Japanese brands made for the coupe/Z do have flex sections. Stillen, Borla, and IS are oblivous to the engineering need of flex sections and/or their just too lazy and cheap to add them.

The guy that bought my Borla gained a mere 5 whp from 5000-7000rpms with his 05 6MT. That kind of gain wouldn't even register in the 1/4 mile. I'm much happier with the 06 sedan pipe and a slightly revised intake box.
