Full disclosure, I do have a leak where the mid-pipe connects to the OEM front pipe. I can't blame Borla though - I blame myself and the polyurethane hangers I bought after I had it installed and sealing 100% correctly.
I had no leaks initially, but the tips were slightly off. One sat higher than the other and my OCD wanted them the same. The Grimmspeed two position hangers did the trick, but the result was it pulled and pushed the exhaust into place at the tips, but the force overcomes the OEM spring bolts at the connection point... thus a small leak.
I'm only doing this in my home garage, so I suspect if I had a shop loosen all the Borla slip joints up, shove the midpipe full forward towards the front pipe, and tighten everything down, it would probably seal fine again.
