Default B&B exhaust install

I am taking her in tomorrow to have the new bullets installed. Are the bullets going to install just like the borla stingers or are there going to be a few things different? Thanks to anyone that can help, I am trying to make sure they get everythign perfect.

Should just be a bolt-on install like the Borlas.

Having just installed mine last week, I can tell you about one gatcha. The rear sway bar has to be lowered to be able to position the over-the-axle-pipe in place. Once this pipe is in place, reinstall the sway bar before attaching the over-the-axle pipe to the H(X)pipe section and before attaching the tailpipe section to the over-the-axle section. In other words, while the over-the-axle pipe is just hanging loose. This has to be done in this order, or you will not be able to get to the upper bolts that hold the sway bar in place.

They should bolt on just like any other mufflers.

I had mine installed today and followed your advice. The guys had a problem tightning the bolts at the flanges. The holes in the flanges are to close to the pipe making it diffucult to tighten with wrenches. They used smaller bolts with no problems. With that said the Bullets sound really :cool:
