Cool Problems Installing Borla Cat Back sys. on 97 f150

Hi, I recently bought a Borla cat Back System part # BOR-14686. Truck is 97 f150, extended cab, 4x4. The hangers for the muffler dont lineup with the ones on the truck. They are off by more than 12 inches, and borla says no modifactions are necissary. Just wondering if anyone else has had any similar problems, or any solutions. Thanks.

Are you sure you got the correct part # for your year/model truck? You could take it to a local muffler shop and they can relocate the hangers to install it.
