Borla Exhaust
I was at the body shop getting estimates on installation of my new exhaust, and the mechanic was sayin that it might have extra cost if there is "snags" when installing it, he said that with some exhausts modifications have to be made to make it fit right. Has anybody had to make modifications or hit snags when installing a borla exhaust system?

If your buying an exhaust made for your car there should be no problems with it. You might check another shop and get an estimate, because there should be 0 snags but it sounds like that guy might be looking to make some extra $$.

Borla is a direct swap for our cars; if there are any "snags" it's his fault.
Only possible issue is sometimes it can come out a little asymmetric where the tips may not be perfectly centered within the bumper hole things. With a little pushing and wrangling of the exhaust, you should be able to get this pretty centered, though perhaps not 100%. But definitely no modifications needed.

I just installed mine myself last night. Pretty simple. Took me about an hour. WD40 works wonders for this job when it came to the rubber hangers. Just have a final alignment to do as it is a little off on the drivers side. Sounds great!

I really wasn't planning on buying one at this time, but some local RX8 owner here in Florida was relocating and in need of getting rid of his sit up. It was in really good shape and didn't have anything wrong with it less the dust from sitting in a garage. I was happy to take it off his hands for $300. At that price it's even better. It's been on for a week and I am extremely happy with it. Not too loud, but sounds nice! Good luck!
