I think...
I think that's all about the older 2.5" Borla system. The revised one is 2.25" and seems to be much easier to fit. Opinions differ regarding the performance difference of old vs. new.

I have the Neuspeed/Borla 2.5", and have no problems...
I've had it a few months now with no issues. The 2.5" pipe is indeed a tight fit at one point, but the shop that installed it for me (Dynospot in Mountain View, CA) had no problems making it fit.
There is only one place along the bottom of the car where it gets tricky. It's the point where the pipe takes a turn and moves to the other side of the car. But after a couple of adjustments it has plenty of clearance from the tight spots and hasn't rattled. Any decent shop should be able to make it work.
I've driven through big puddles and lots of rain and only once did it rattle against the frame briefly. (a few seconds) And granted, it was a very deep puddle.

Here's the deal...
The revised Borla is a 2.25" System from Borla (Duh!)
The Neuspeed is a 2.5" System fabricated to Neuspeed Spec by Borla.
The first APR was a 2.5" System fabricated to APR Spec by Borla.
The new APR is a 2.5" System fabricated to APR Spec by B&B Triflo.
Parts of the exhaust path are 2.25" on all of the above, and many people theorize that there is negligable performance impact with 2.25" vs. 2.5". Personally, I'm waiting to see if APR really does come through with a system for Tip cars. Otherwise, I'm going custom.

I don't think Borla ever made an exhaust for APR....
.....the first APR exhaust was made by B&B Tri-Flow.
However, APR used to sell the Borla exhaust, that's where I purchased mine from.
