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.

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

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 attempt-
ing to disassemble.
1. Unbolt the flange shown in figure 1 located behind the catalytic
converters. Place the hardware to the side for use during the instal-
lation of your new exhaust system.
2. Lubricate all the hangers and rubber isolators.
3. Using a muffler stand or an additional person to hold the exhaust
up in place, remove the hangers from the rubber isolators and then
remove the exhaust system as shown in figure 2.
