Default Stinger install........need info

I am ready to install stingers and only have Rhino Ramps to work with. Where is the best location to cut factory system ? Looks like just before swaybay ( from aft side ) before starting bend up and over to meet H - pipe. Am I on the right track ? After cutting , do I just pull mufflers out of rubber grommet ? Any suggestions, comments would be appreciated.
Can't wait to fire this sucker up after install ........ :thumbs: :thumbs:

Not sure about that but it sounds about right. I did not cut mine but had to get the rear end up about 3+ foot to get them out without cutting. Yes you just pull the brackets out of the rubber grommet. All I can sya is get that new system and enjoy. :cheers:

I got the stingers about a month ago. The installation is straight forward if it is a catback sys. I had a local muffler shop install them for $60.00. It took about 1 hour..it was worth! :yawn:

I installed them myself. I cut the factory ones (with them hanging down) as close to the top as i could. Then I just pulled them over the axels. Make sure you can fit the two pieces from Borla together before you try and install them. I could not get them to fit so I took them to a shop. Hope this helps. :cheers:
