It rubs against the heat shield at times when hot. Nothing too major though. With the Borla, you don't even have to trim the exhaust shrouds like you do w/ most of the exhausts though, so I don't know WTF their problem is.

version 1 had issues with it touching the heat shield. Anyone who bought the original exhaust could warranty claim and get the version 2 for free. If you buy it second hand, you get NO warranty at all, so you'd be SOL.

this info was true back when v2 was just out. I don't know if they continue to allow trades for the upgraded version.

$750.00 and a ride in your A10 and you got a deal! I'll even buy the beer if you fire off a burst with that cannon.
