Borla Performance Cat-Back™ Exhaust System Installation
1. Using the original hardware, place the Front Pipe Assembly into posi-tion using the factory ball clamp. Install the hanger into the Rubber Bracket. (See Fig.4)
2. Place a clamp on the inlet of the Muffler Assembly and insert into the Front Pipe Assembly. Use a muffler stand or an assistant to hold into position. (See Fig. 5)
3. Place (2) clamps over the expanded ends of Dual Side Pipe Assembly inlets. Insert inlets into Muffler Assembly outlets and insert the hanger into the rubber isolator. (See Fig. 6) Do Not tighten the clamps.
4. Check your exhaust system for proper clearance under the vehicle and also for tip alignment. Tighten clamp nut 35 ft. lbs. (See Fig.7)
5. Before starting your vehicle, make sure to check all wires, hoses, brake lines, body parts and tires for safe clearance from the exhaust system.
6. Start vehicle and check for any leaks. If any leaks are found, determine 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 Bor-la Performance Exhaust System, there may be some smoke and fumes com-ing from the system. This is a protective oil based coating used in the manu-facturing 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.
Warning: Use extreme caution during installation. Torque all fasteners ac-cording to manufacturer’s torque values and tightening sequence. DO NOT use air impact tools to tighten fasteners on Borla Performance Exhaust Sys-tems. Use of such tools may result in bent flanges or gasket contact areas leading to exhaust leaks.
