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 attempt-
ing to disassemble.
1. Unbolt the flange shown in figure 1 located behind the catalytic
converters. Place the hardware to the side for use during the instal-
lation of your new exhaust system.
2. Lubricate all the hangers and rubber isolators.
3. Using a muffler stand or an additional person to hold the exhaust
up in place, remove the hangers from the rubber isolators and then
remove the exhaust system as shown in figure 2.

in bent flanges or gasket contact areas leading to exhaust leaks.

5. Check your exhaust system for proper clearance under the vehicle and also for
tip alignment.
6. Once position has been determined to be correct, tighten the Accuseal™ clamps
to 32-35 ft. lbs.
9. Before starting your vehicle, make sure to check all wires, hoses, brake lines,
body parts and tires for safe clearance from the exhaust system.

(such as loose or incorrectly positioned clamp) and repair as necessary.

Note: When you first start your vehicle after the installation of your new
Borla Performance Exhaust System, there may be some smoke and
fumes coming from the system. This is a protective oil based coating
used in the manufacturing of mandrel bent performance exhaust tubing.
This is not a problem and will disappear within a very short period of
time after the exhaust has reached normal operating temperatures.
Congratulations!!! You have
completed the installation of the
world famous Borla Performance
Stainless Steel Exhaust System.
