So I already have a borla atak axelback. I had purchased the ARH long system and for whatever reason I cannot get these two systems together. Eventually through some bending and modifying I will eventually get them together. The stock system fit fine into borla. The first picture is the stock system, the second is arh pipe, and third is borla.

Thanks,
Ryan

OP I am looking into this as well. See below. Stock is 2 3/4" OD. That Borla Axleback looks like 3". The ARH long pipes are 3" OD in my car. Doesn't that middle pic look smaller than 3"?

I thought that All I need you need is a 3" Extension pipe as the axleback has only a very short reach.

Atak is 2 3/4". I have Kooks LT into Borla 60606 x pipe into Atak. Obviously the 60606 mates right up to the Atak with no cutting. The front connection pipes on the 60606 needed some cutting to mate to the Kooks headers.

My work around was taking what was left of the old system and cutting the tail pipe right after the crimps, that gave me a good 5 inches in length.. it slid into both pieces (arh and borla) without too much of an issue. I spent hours trying to bend and hammer the passengers side prior to this. But it's safe to say, after a few choice words and a lot of struggling, the pipes are in. Now to button everything back up.

how does the car sound with the headers and the atak system?

It is loud! I am looking into why the cat is hitting on my transmission mount. I am also looking into an h-pipe because I want the lower sound of it. Can't find them however.

I have an H-pipe. It has a cool note down low, but when you get on it, it sounds so unrefined and kinda annoying lol. Maybe it's the fact that I'm straight-piped, but I'm looking into the MBRP cat-back to my LT Headers. to get an x-pipe back

I to had the same problem with my ARH LT long system, cats pipe hitting the tranny mount. I had to move the mount over to one side as much as i can so it wont rub. But when i took her in to get tuned at JTMmotorsports, they had the ARH foreman come by (since they share the same shop) and see whats up. ARH took my car in and from what they said "he had to extend the muffler pipe , because i cut it to short"...... I was like ok, even tho i cut it right at the crimp so i would have the most pipe. At least ARH did the job for free. But i still havent any good days to go under my car and see exactly what they did. I only drove the car for 400 miles.?... If that, and no rubbing from what i can hear.

Hmm, that is interesting. What gets me is it's on the passenger header, then to the cat. I dunno, I'll have to go back under and check everything again, I just hate to have to do that with a well know header company. The fact that I had to cut some inserts from the old system to fit the x pipe to borla atak sucked a bit. Whatever, it'll be alright. It works and it's loud.

Well I ended up getting an H pipe, Thanks Janetty!!
So as I am taking the system out to do the X pipe to H pipe swap, I have to re-bend and reshape all the stuff I had initially did with the modified connection between ARH pipe and Borla exhaust just to get it to fit. This has me cussing. I should not have to bend any kind of metal on 1500 pipe system. Not sure entirely if I ordered the wrong systems ( could be a possibility)or what but I am definitely not happy. I ended up calling it quits tonight before I threw something. I never had this much problem with some other systems I had put in before. Anyway, rant over, I'll get it figured out.
