Does anyone have pictures of the Borla dual exhaust installed on their H2. If so, do you have an approximate distance how far the pipes come out compared to the hitch?

To me it looks like the pipes stick out a quite bit, so have anybody customed any exhaust to sit little deeper under your H2?

Thanks!

I have the Borla Dual Exhaust on a 2003 H2. It's a bit louder than I wanted but am happy.
I had the whole thing ceramic coated black at Jet Hot. I am posting before and after shots. I apologize for the picture of the rear of the vehicle, might not be the best angle that you were looking for. I did cut about 2 inches off of the end of the pipes before installing the tips, because they stuck out a bit more than I liked. The pictures of the unistalled pipes, is before I trimmed the end off.

Cool!!! Thanks!

How much did you pay for the coating?

I don't remember exactly how much, if you contact them with an idea of what you want, they can give a guestimate. I am sure it was a couple 2 or 3 hundred for everything and shipping. I have used Jet Hot a few times and have been completely satisfied. Eventually I will install headers that will also be done black. Then I guess I might tackle some of that god awful rust !

Thanks again!

Is it too much asked if you pointed out in that second picture of yours where exactly did you cut 2 inches off?

Hope you'll win the battle over rust http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

In the second picture, the top pipe (pipes) just in front of the box, the right end of it is actually the tail end that goes out the back of the vehicle. Just to the right of the hanger, on the end, I measured into the 2 end tips to see how much pipe they would need to clamp on to, and figured out how much extra pipe I could do without and broke out the sawzall. The 2 clamp on tips now butt up to the end hanger. I did this just to pull the tips as far back under the vehicle as possible.
Hope this helps.

How did you black out the running lights ? I asked you before but you didn't respond. I have a 05 White H2 and I'm looking on doing that...

Thanks

I did them myself with a spray I bought at my local autostore. You can find the spray online.

Hey there!

Great looking H2 you have there! It looks like you have HID lights? Am I correct? If so, could you tell the make and model.

Thanks!

It's been awhile but I think it was around $800. I installed it myself. Keep in mind this is not a bolt on system. It uses clamps thru-out so there was a lot of twisting and adjusting. If you look closely, the angle of my pipes are still off by a little and underneath the rig, there's this one section where the two pipes contact and they do rattle every now and then http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif So I would recommend taking it to a muffler shop for welding and have it done right.

On a side note, I must warn you I had a very bad experience with borla headers and their customer service/tech support. Do a search on borla headers.

Here are pics of my H2 with Borla. It looks good and sounds good. You will not notice any more power and will not get better gas mileage. They stick out just far enough. In any further and you'd probably have black marks on the rear metal bumper. I got 11.6 mpg on my 03 and get 11.4 on my 05. 03 was stock, 05 has Borla since day 1. I would not waste my time and money with headers. They will just be costly and a big headache with not much in return in they way of bang for the buck. Its a Hummer not a performance car. I highly recommend Borla catback for sound and looks.

Do a search under Flowmaster then, i think a lotta people are quite happy with them on the H2. I've read it on this board there's a certain way of running two mufflers and it sounds really good. I never had it on my H2 but my previous experience with Flowmaster is they are inexpensive and loud. But the newer Flowmasters have like different models and stuff...

Do you know / can you measure the diameter of the tubing at the end right before the exhaust tip (which is much wider I see)?

thanks!
