Borla Performance Cat-Back™ Bill of Materials










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.  

Note: Before removing the original exhaust system from your vehicle, please compare the parts you have received with the bill of materials provided on the previous page to assure that you have all the parts neces-sary for the installation of your new Borla Performance Exhaust System. 

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 lubri-cate the threads before attempting to disassemble. 

Original Exhaust System Removal

1. PLEASE IDENTIFY YOUR PART NUMBER THEN FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS:

140586, 140587, 140588, 140590, 140591, 140589 only: Loosen (2) factory band clamps on the front factory mid-muffler. (See Fig.1) 

2. Beginning with the left-side, use a flat blade screwdriver and twist to release the pin and slide the left-side band-clamp away from the muffler. (See Fig. 2)  

3. Repeat Step 2 to remove the right-side band-clamp.  

4. Loosen (2) factory bolts from left-side and right-side rear rubber brackets. (See Fig. 3)

5. With help from an assistant, carefully remove the front hangars from the rubber iso-lators and slide the muffler assembly to rear leaving rear rubber isolators on hangars. (See Fig. 4 )  

6. Factory exhaust from the vehicle. (See Fig. 5)  

WARNING: Use extreme caution during installation. Torque all fasteners according to manufactur-er’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. 

NOTE: When you first start your vehicle after the installation of your new Borla Performance Exhaust 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.
