Reinstalling factory X-pipe
I'm putting my factory X-pipe back on, removing the Borla, Part #60547. Any technical hints? I'll be using the same jack and jack stands I used when putting it on. Thanks in advance for any advice or links. Did a search and I'm not sure about the factory clamps.

Did you put the borla xpipe on? Should just do it in reverse. Id mate it up to the axel back first then to the main cats. Does that make sense? Selling the car? I put anti sieze on the bolts (copper) when I put my xpipe on just in case i wanted to do what you are doing.
