2. Using a muffler stand or an additional person to hold the left muffler assembly up into position, using a 15mm socket, unbolt the hanger bracket assembly located just above the front portion of the muffler. Place the hardware to the side for use during the installation of your new exhaust system. (See Fig.2)

3. Continuing using a muffler stand or an additional person to hold the left muffler assembly up into position, using a 15mm socket, unbolt the hanger bracket assembly located just above the rear portion of the muffler. Place the hardware to the side for use during the installation of your new exhaust system. (See Fig.3)

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.
