Icon bumpstop install issue

"I should state this first, ICON has a very well engineered product and have put in a lot of work to make this an exceptional asset for the Raptor...I don't want to tarnish any work they have done. This product will work as advertised on a stock Raptor...specifically a stock exhaust on the Raptor. This is just a warning post that an aftermarket exhaust might have issues on the install job. This is in reference to a Borla Touring exhaust system"

Well, the ICON bumpstop is installed , but the bracket turnbuckle arms cannot be install because of the aftermarket Borla exhaust is in the way. The exhaust has to be bent/cut and lifted up to maximum position to fix this problem. I don't think that would be a good idea having the exhaust pipes rubbing/hitting the ICON support beam. So it looks like the turnbuckle arms will not be installed.

Kinda sucks. I ended up not able to use Icon UCA cause they won't work for me either.

Sounds like you need a different exhaust. Mbrp turndown.

Had the same issue with mine, I was able to tweak the hangers a bit and add a few washers as spacers and it was ok but I still didnt like it. I sold the borla exhaust and installed a side exit JBA. So glad i switched to the JBA side exit its a much nicer install and I like the sounds just a well.

Well this defiantly sucks. You never really know what works until you cross that bridge sort of speak. Got to think about this one. Just bought the Borla touring exhaust a month and a half ago...himmmmmm....

Ya, I called em, and on the web site it says it works with the stock system only but, it has been installed with other systems too but designed for the stock exhaust system. They said to just leave off the one side tension-er its not that big of a deal. I felt for teh money it cost I didnt like having only one tensioner on so I changed to the side exit exhaust.

I had the same issue with my MagnaFlow system. Ended up taking off the rear section and putting a turn down on.

I had the stock on and even that rubbed because the hangers had loosened up so I bent them up and ordered an mbrp (which I needed anyways cause I'd just dovetailed my bed).

Did you remove the entire Borla exhaust or only from the resonator back...if so how did it fit?
