Borla Installed.

Post by wicked1981 »

Well received my Borla exhaust last night and of course I installed it as soon as I got home. Got some pics...

This was the hardest (not like anything was hard) part of the job. Only 3 of there 2 bolts and the exhaust is out. Easy.

It is really simple. There is 2 bolts and 3 hangers to worry about. Unscrew 2 bolts spray somw WD40 on the plastic hangers and slide the metal hook out of the hole. Get the new exhaust screw the 2 screws back on put the hangers trough the plastic holes tighten the 2 borla pieces and you are done. ill put some pics so you can see what Im talking about. I jacked up the back right (passenger side) just to get more room but it really isnt necessary. It took me a total of about 15 min.Unscrew these 2 bolts.

There is 3 of these total. Its a long metal thin bar that you have to unslip out of these rubber holders. Then insert the ones from the exhaust. Spray WD40 and maybe a screwdriver to make them slip out.
