Caution!!! Never work on a hot exhaust system. Serious injury in the form of burns can result If the vehicle has been in use and the exhaust system is hot, allow vehicle to cool for at least 1 hour. Always wear eye protection when working under any vehicle. Note: It is our recommendation that you use a hoist or hydraulic lift to facilitate the installation of your new Borla Performance Cat-Back Exhaust System. Taking all under car safety precautions, lift the vehicle using a hoist or hydraulic lift. Once this has been done, you may begin the removal of your old exhaust system from your vehicle. Note: Before removing the original exhaust system from your vehicle, please compare the parts you have received with the bill of materials provided on the previous page to assure that you have all the parts necessary for the installation of your new Borla Performance Cat-Back Exhaust System.

Original Exhaust System Removal
Note: With a used vehicle, we suggest a penetrating spray lubricant to be applied liberally to all exhaust fasteners and allowing a significant period of time for the chemical to lubricate the threads before attempting to disassemble.

Figure 1

Loosen the (2) clamp bolts as shown (13mm) and slide clamp towards front of vehicle. (Figure.1) Using a muffler stand or an additional person to hold the muffler assembly up into position, slide the (5) hangars out of the rubber isolators and remove the system from the rear.

Orient and position the front muffler assembly. Insert your new exhaust pipe over the OE pipe and connect the hangars into the OE rubber hangar. (Figure 4) Slide and position the clamp with the bolts accessible to tighten later. DO NOT tighten these bolts. Place the Accuseal clamp over the R/H Tailpipe Assembly and slide this pipe over the front muffler assembly. Insert hangers into rubber isolators Place the Accuseal clamp over the L/H Tailpipe Assembly and slide this pipe over the R/H Tailpipe Assembly. Insert hangers into rubber isolators. (See Fig.5) Slide the Accuseal clamp over the notches and rotate the clampbolt 90-degress from the notches. The clamp-bolt should be positioned between the notches. (Figure 6) Do not tighten tighten this bolt. NOTE: When properly clamped, the Accuseal pipe closes in a circular-shape with interlocking notches creating a proper seal. The pipe will distort or ovalize in shape if the clamp-bolt is positioned over the notches. Check your exhaust system for proper clearance under the vehicle and also for tip alignment. Once position has been determined to be correct, tighten the Accuseal clamp 32-35 ft. lbs. Tighten the OE clamp bolts. Orient clamp as shown behind the pipe for a cleaner look. (Figure 7) Before starting your vehicle, make sure to check all wires, hoses, brake lines, body parts and tires for safe clearance from the exhaust system.
