What's the deal with Borla Cat-back install problems??

I've been doing some research in the archives on Borla ADJUSTABLE cat-back installs. Is it true that Borla doesn't offer a true adjustable bolt on system for third gen cars???

Somebody please clarify this confusion for me!!

It seems like everybody that has put on the 4th gen style adjustable cat back system on a third gen has had to do a lot of custom fabricating to get it to fit.

What's the word, is this true for everybody here?
Also let me know if your car had single or dual cats when you reply.

Thanks,

Yeah it fits like ****. I have a single cat. You probably already read that it ends like 8 inches before the cat so you have to either use part of you old pipe or have one fabed up because the piece has a bend in it. The tips are also a pain in the *** to line up. Tips also look like crap to me. It does sound kind of good though (Not using any of the adjustable plates), but only after I installed headers. If you do get it, which I wouldnt if I were you not worth the money, get it welded. It leaks everywhere no matter what we did.
