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 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.

cate the threads before attempting to disassemble.
