My Borlas came today, ordered them on Friday. Arrived about 3:30 and had them on by 5. Only problem was they don't give you any new bolts. When you take the old bolts off the flanges the nuts are welded to the muffler side of the flange. You then need to get new nuts. they are metric but I don't know what size. I found some bolts laying around that I used for now. Will get some new nuts and put the original bolts back in. You need a 14mm wrench to remove the flange bolts. You also need to take off the old hangers, 12mm socket. When putting on the new rubber hangers spray a little soap insaide the holes, makes it easier to slip them on. Didn;t replace the gaskets at the flange. I'll check fo leaks later. Sounds a lot deeper at idle but havn't taken it out on the road yet.

I did jack the car up but you probably could do it without. I would suggest you take one of the bolts out of the flange and then go down to the hardware store and get 4 hardened metric nuts that fit the bolt. This will save you a lot of time. Also get washers. I'll see if my son can post some pictures, I have the camera but don't know how to use it.

hey hddeuce,

were the tips of the mufflers centered when u put them on?

HDDuece

Pretty close. You can slide them side to side along the hangers they give you. Up and down is a little harder. You could put washers under the bracket that bolts to the car to lower them and I suppose you could bend the hanger a little to raise them. They are close enough that I'm going to leave them for now. They fill in the cutouts so there isn't much room for adjustment.

I drove my car up on to some thick wooden boards when I experimented with installing the L-Tuned. I would not get under the car with just the regular car jack - if it broke, you're dead.

I did use a floor jack and I also used two jack stands. I would not crawl under the car using just a jack. But I think you could do the muffler job with out jacking up the car.

good luck 1SICKLEX, luckally for me even if the car drops i wouldn't get smashed as long as the wheels are on!

haha no lowering althought it probobly would give me a dong from compressing but i dont think it would that much, i keep my head in that open space to the right or left of the driveshaft so if it did fall only my body would crush a bit which is ok
