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.
1. Unbolt the clamp shown in figure 1 located behind the rear muffler assembly.
2. Lubricate all the hangers and rubber isolators.
3. Using a muffler stand or an additional person to hold the tail pipe up in place, remove the hanger from the rubber isolator and then remove the tail pipe from the vehicle as shown in figure 2.
4. Unbolt the clamp shown in figure 3 located just behind the catalytic converter. Using a muffler stand or an additional person to hold the exhaust up in place, remove the hanger from the rubber isolator and remove the rear muffler from the vehicle.
5. Unbolt the clamp shown in figure 3. The clamp may have grooved the pipe and it may require cutting for removal. Using a muffler stand or an additional person to hold the remaining exhaust up into position, remove the hangers from the rubber isolators and remove the remaining exhaust from the vehicle.
