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 com-
pare 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 signifi-
cant period of time for the chemical to lubricate the threads before
attempting to disassemble.
1. Stock exhaust needs to be cut behind catalytic converter. Mark a
line in between the flex-coupler and front muffler 3-1/2” behind
the flex-coupler. Remove flange hardware and place aside for
reinstallation later. (See Fig. 1)
2. Loosen bolt on factory clamp and remove assembly rubber isola-
tors. Carefully remove rear muffler assembly from vehicle. (See
Fig. 2)
3. Remove hangars from remaining rubber isolators and remove
front muffler pipe assembly. (See Fig. 3)
4. Locate the cut-line 3-1/2” behind the catalytic converter using a
metal-cutting-blade saw, cut the pipe at this mark. De-burr the
newly cut pipe behind the flex-coupler.
5. Reinstall the newly cut pipe to the flange using the original hard-
ware. Torque hardware to 35 ft.lbs.
Warning: Use extreme caution during installation. Torque all fasteners
according to manufacturer’s torque values and tightening sequence.
DO NOT use air impact tools to tighten fasteners on Borla Perform-
ance Exhaust Systems. Use of such tools may result in bent flanges or
gasket contact areas leading to exhaust leaks.

tighten the Accuseal clamps to 32-35 ft. lbs.

positioned between the pipe notches NOT over
the pipe notches. (See inset)

lines, body parts and tires for safe clearance from the exhaust system.

cause (such as loose or incorrectly positioned clamp) and repair as neces-
sary.

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 coat-
ing 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 tem-
Congratulations!!! You have completed the installation of the
world famous Borla Performance Stainless Steel Exhaust System.
