How to write up on installing BorlaCB BassaniX

[mystic1996]

Got exhaust on order and was wondering if there was a write on how to install. Used search function and How to forum w/ no luck...I would like to do it myself. Is it possible with basic tools? What all with i need? welding required? how to prevent leaks?

thanks

well its not that hard, i dont remember the sockets exactly but it's pretty straight forward. it can be done with basic tools.

1st: let the car cool down if it has been driven.
2nd: use a lift if not jackstands secured properly.
3rd: spray penetrating oil (wd40) on the bolts and rubber grommets
4th: take off the stock c/b
5th: take off the H pipe (the passenger side will be harder to reach, use extensions and wobbles)
6th: put on bassani X (attach o2 sensors if you got the catted ones) use MIL for no cats
7th: put on borla c/b

i forgot what i used to prevent leaks, but check it by starting the car and feel around it. and there will be no welding required. good luck & another advice i would polish the c/b with 04sleeper's way before you put it on.
