Default borla exhaust install

how hard/long is it? and if you wanted could you not just swap mufflers and not do the cat back? or would it be pretty much same procedure (ive seen something about droping the rear end? i beleive, if thats alot of trouble i'd rather not do that) if its prety much same procedure to do muffler swap and cat back i'd go ahead and stick the new exhaust pipe in

I installed a set on a Z06. Click on the link below for the pics. It took me 1.5 hours. If you do not have a lift or cannot make the same setup I have in my garage, you will have to jack the car until the bottom of the rear fascia is more than 32 inches from the ground. You could probably replace only the muffler by cutting the pipe of the original, but I’m not sure if the pipe have the same dimension and if you will be able to joint them.

yeah... what he said!!! He did that install on my Z06... awesome job.. and I am super happy with the tip alignment. Car sounds amazing..

i have some exhaust clips.. they are not the best quality, cause they were done with a digital camera, and not with a videocamera.
