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. For an easier time during the removal of the factory exhaust and for the installation of your new exhaust system, remove the spare tire as recommended by vehicle manual. 2. Loosen the clamp located just behind the muffler assembly. (See figure 1) 3. Lubricate all the hangers and rubber isolators. 4. Using a muffler stand or an additional person to hold the tail pipe assembly in position, remove the hangers from the rubber isolators and remove the tail pipe assembly from the ve- hicle. 5. Unbolt the two flanges located just after each catalytic converter. Place the hardware to the side for use during the installation of your new exhaust system. (See figure 2A and 2B) 6. Using a muffler stand or an additional person to hold the muffler assembly in 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.
