5. Check your exhaust system for proper clearance under the
vehicle and also for tip alignment.
6. Once position has been determined to be correct, tighten the
Accuseal™ clamp to 32-35 ft. lbs. making sure the clamps
openings are not over any of the notches in the pipes.
(See Figure 6)
7. Before starting your vehicle, make sure to check all wires, hoses,
brake lines, body parts and tires for safe clearance from the
exhaust system.
8. Start vehicle and check for any leaks. If any leaks are found,
determine cause (such as loose hardware or incorrectly
positioned clamp) and repair as necessary.
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.
