Default question for S4 Borla users... how well does it fit?

<center><img src="http://www.awe-tuning.com/media/products/audi/borla2tip_sm.jpg"></center><p>This picture from AWE kinda shows that it's not centered in the bumper cutout... is this true? (but the Borla tips on their black Avant look perfect) Do you have to tweak the mounts?

Default NO it's fine. mine is center cut. the tips do point slightly down

as opposed to others, but the fitment is perfect.

no need to tweak the mounts. the mounts are also pretty firm and are attached by rubber, so it may not even change that much.

My Borla fits just fine too. A very tight fit, no shaking or rattling. Thumbs up over here!

Default I've heard others say that... about pointing down...

if mine is like others, it is barely noticeable and not really an issue (as you kind of inferred).

Default That's a Borla???

Mmmmmm the tips don't look angled (could be the photo's perspective) and they are sticking out past your bumper quite a bit further than any others I've seen. Also, looks like you opted to go without the inner thermal insulation pipes. Has your chrome yellowed at all since your installation?

Default Hi Shredster, you are VERY observant...

...those tips are custom made. No downward angle,
the inner pipers were cut. And no yellow stuff, the tips are nice and shiny! =)

Mine fits perfectly after Innovator took a two by four and a BFH to it.
