How to Install Borla Stinger S-Type Cat-Back Exhaust - Split Rear Exit on your Dodge Ram

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 (figure 1) located behind the rear muffler assem-bly.  

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 (figure 2).  

4. Unbolt the clamp 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 muf-fler from the vehicle.  

5. Unbolt the clamp (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.  

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 Performance Exhaust Systems. Use of such tools may result in bent flanges or gasket contact areas leading to exhaust leaks. 

1. Place a clamp over the expanded end of the front muffler assembly  and set it into position (figure 4) making sure to install  the hanger into the rubber isolator. Do Not tighten the clamp.  

2. Place a clamp over the expanded end of the muffler assembly and  set it into position (figure 5). Do Not tighten the clamp.  

3. Place a clamp over the right tail pipe assembly and set it into  position (figure 6) making sure to install the hanger into  the rubber isolator. Do Not tighten the clamp.  

4. Place a clamp over the expanded end of the left tail pipe assembly  and set it into position (figure 8) making sure to install  the hanger into the rubber isolator. Do Not tighten the clamp.  

5. Check your exhaust system for proper clearance under the vehicle  and also for tip alignment.  

7. Once position has been determined to be correct, tighten the  Accuseal™ clamps to 32-35 ft. lbs.  

6. Before starting your vehicle, make sure to check all wires, hoses,  brake lines, body parts and tires for safe clearance from the exhaust  system.  

7. Start vehicle and check for any leaks. If any leaks are found,  determine cause (such as loose or incorrectly positioned clamp) and  repair as necessary.  

Note: When you first start your vehicle after the installa-tion 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 ex-haust tubing. This is not a problem and will disappear within a very short period of time after the exhaust has reached normal operating temperatures.
