Default Borla Stinger Axle Back - A Tip

Just installed last night and great exhaust by the way........but wish i'd have known something up front.

Your first step should be to remove the mid-pipe (Mine being a 2012 so I was keeping the factory x-pipe) and mate it to your new over-the-axle pipes while neither is on the car.

At first I tried to do this while I had the axle pipes mounted in the muffler and it just didn't work out. The fitment was super tight. Off of the car i was able to line everything up, lube both pieces and "work" the x-pipe into the axle pipes to smooth everything out and seat the two pieces.

Then I jumped back under the car and it all went together perfectly.

Also, if you can get the rear-end up 10" you will have plenty of room to remove the stock mufflers. And you've got to flip the rear sway bar down to get the passenger can out. Then put it back up to mount the new mufflers....It will support the weight before it's connected. These three things are all you need!

Hope that helps guys!
