I wanted a reasonably quite high-tuck exhaust for my 2.0 JLR-X, sadly Borla only offers the S-Type (too loud for my taste on a Jeep) for the 2.0 2-Door JL. They do however offer the Touring Climber for the 2.0 4-Door JL...So, I modified the Touring muffler to fit the 2-Door by cutting off the long bent exit tail of the muffler and welding on a short straight tail using a section of the 4-door tailpipe that slides onto the muffler. I also bought a Borla hanger rod and bent to match the one welded to the S-Type muffler and will weld this to the muffler after fitting the muffler for proper clearance. You do of course have to use the Borla tail pipe from the 2-Door JL S-Type to complete the system. All I am waiting for now is some high-temp self-adhesive heat shielding that should have arrived yesterday...
Pictures of the modified muffler and custom bent rod hanger. The Touring Muffler will sit just over 3/8" inch further back than the S-Type so I cut the exit tail 3/8" shorter to avoid any fitment issues with the Borla 2-Door S-Type tailpipe.

For size reference: Top is 2.0 Touring, Middle is 2.0 S-Type (2.0's are 2.75" piping) Bottom is 3.6 Touring 2-Door (3.6 is 2.5" piping)
