axle pipes as shown in figure 8. Do Not
tighten the clamps.

. Place a clamp over each over axle pipe as shown in figure 9.
4. Set the muffler into position as shown in figure 10, inserting the over axle pipes into the muffler
inlet pipes. Using a muffler stand or an additional person to hold it into position, install the
hangers into the rubber isolators. Do Not
tighten the clamps.
5
. Check your exhaust system for proper clearance under the vehicle and also for tip alignment.
6. Once position has been determined to be correct, tighten the Accuseal clamps to 32-35 ft. lbs.
making sure the clamp opening is not over any of the notches in the pipe and the front flanges to
35-40 ft. lbs.
7. Swing the anti-sway bar back into position as shown in figure 11 re-installing the original
hardware previously removed. Torque the upper bolts to 45-49 ft. lbs. And the lower nuts to
65-70 ft. lbs.

tires for safe clearance from the exhaust system.

incorrectly positioned clamp) and repair as necessary.

Note: When you first start your vehicle after the installation of your new Borla Performance
E
xhaust 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 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 according to
m
anufacturer’s torque values and tightening sequence. DO NOT
use air impact tools to
t
ighten fasteners on Borla Performance Exhaust Systems. Use of such tools may result in bent
flanges or gasket contact areas leading to exhaust leaks.
