Default Borla Stinger Install Guide (and more)

Installed my Borla Stingers this weekend so tossed together an install guide. While I was at it put up "safety tips" and "jack tips" too.

Great job! The difference in weight between the Stingers and the OEM cat-backs is incredible. Add non-runflats and you've saved almost 50 lbs!

Great information. Thanks! I heard that while Borla is a great system, they are hard to keep lined up so they appear in place correctly. Is this right??

We'll see, getting them lined up was no problem. If its like any other exhaust I'm sure it will need a couple adjustments as things settle into their final place...

I have a Z so technically I added a bit of weight, but oh well, I'll live :-)
