Default Borla x-pipe install help needed

Got a Borla x-pipe a while ago but it didn't come with any install instructions. I know it can't be too tough but I also know I've make my share of mistakes by not rtfm so I thought I'd ask if anyone could point me to a link or docs or something to help. I e-mailed Borla twice but no reply. Got them from tbyrne so I could call them but thought I'd try here. Tx

I measured from the center of the flange on the X-pipe to the cut end on both sides. Then transfer those to the stock exhaust H-pipe. Measure backward 3/4" and cut. This give enough overlap to slide them together. You can use a sawsall to cut the factory pipe and it does cut easily. Snug the clamps on the pipes and secure them once it is installed on the car.

MAGNAFLOWS Instuction may help you.

I have the same X-pipe, and I went to the PFYC.com site and downloaded the CORSA X-pipe install inst. complete with pics. pipe measurements are the same and it work great for me. I had my car on a lift and it took about 30 min. Used sawsall to cut stock H-pipe.

Hope this helps
