XR-1 install
Got my Borla XR-1 exhaust in today from a forum member, in awesome condition. Now as to the install, where do I cut exactly? I don't have the instructions and I'd like to make this install as clean as possible. Also, if you have any other install tips I'd appreciate it, although the install looks pretty straight forward.

It is quite simple to install, actually. You do need a sawzall or zipp wheel to cutt the pipes off the old car. You need to cut about 2.5 and 4.5 inches behind the converters to remove the old pipes. Once the old H-pipe is removed, the new setup is truly a bolt on. Oh, to remove the overaxle pipes and mufflers, unbolt the rear sway bar to craddle mounts and let the sway barr hang down. This give enough room to remove the over-axle pipes and mufflers and install the new pipes.
Took me an hour to install and adjust the tips. But I've got a lift. On the floor it may take a little more time.
