Crap, wonder if borla had revised it or there was a mix up during productions. Where did you get the system from?

Dang dude, sorry to hear..Hope it all gets fixed. You should ask about compensation for the install charges if the shop charges to remove and reinstall the new ones. Or maybe you can just do it yourself.. its just the tip?

So the guy from Borla called me again and told me that he had the other G37 exhaust checked in his warehouse (there was only 1 left) and it too had the wrong tips installed. He said they would probably send me the entire rear muffler/tip assembly but that it could be anywhere from 8-10 weeks because it has to be manufactured

so i guess im stuck with the smaller tips for a good portion of the winter.
