I just wanted to comment on my observations with regards to this statement.
1) Borla's mid-pipe splits into dual 2.25" pipes, which is identical to the OE mid-pipe. Since it's compatible with their axle-back systems, and their axle-back systems are compatible with the OE mid-pipe, it stands to reason that any other axle-back that is compatible with the OE mid-pipe diameter will be compatible with their mid-pipe.
2) I looked specifically at the installation instructions for both Borla's axle-back and Hooker's axle-back. Both systems appear to require cutting at the end of the suspension cross member in approximately the same location, probably within 0.25" (haven't measured myself, but I may do it to verify). Therefore, it is highly likely that Hooker's axle-back would fit directly on the Borla mid-pipe in roughly the same location, with minimal (if any) difference in fitment.
