Hi guys, I just purchased a borla exhaust (street) from autoanything and when i received my purchase i found out that the tips of the muffler doesnt have the borla logo embedded onto the muffler. did they stop making it without the emblem on the muffler? I have a 2005 mini cooper s. Thanks!

I have the Borla "Sport" and the mufflers don't have the Borla name on them. The exhaust tips do though.

I have a regular 2002 Cooper and the Borla exhaust I got this summer did have the logo. Don't know what the MCS version looks like.

Here is the borla exhaust i got from Autoanything. I called them and they said they have to call borla and ask if they stop making the borla with the logo on the tips of the exhaust and will email me within 48 hours.

I have the street Borla system and the tips are completely different from your picture.

It looks like someone took the Borla tips and put together a "similar" looking finish. Those welds are ugly and definitely not Borla Originals,just look at the rest of the system. The street system has the tips on a separate piece so they can be moved or centered together. Sorry I don't have pics here.

Yeah i notice about the welding too. I'm going to see what the place says when they get back to me. Most likely im going to send it back.

was looking forward on putting it together this weekend too

If both the muffler and the tips do not say Borla, then I'd strongly suspect it is not genuine.

My Borla (sport?) system has the name embossed on the tips and on the mufflers.

I have the Borla street as well and those tips do not look anything like mine - for what Borla charges I would not accept that
