2007-2008 Dodge Avenger & Chrysler Sebring Exhaust System Installation

5:04 AM by onesecond ·
With a used vehicle, we suggest a penetrating spray lubricant to be applied liberally to all exhaust fasteners and allowing a significant period of time for the chemical to lubricate the threads before attempting to disassemble.
1. Remove the ground strap from the muffler at the rear of the vehicle as shown in figure 1.
2. Unbolt the clamp located just behind the catalytic converter as shown in figure 2.
3. Lubricate all the hangers and rubber isolators.
4. Using a muffler stand or an additional person to hold the exhaust system into position, remove all the hangers from the rubber isolators and remove the exhaust system from the vehicle.
Warning: Use extreme caution during installation. Torque all fasteners according to manufacturer’s torque values and tightening sequence. DO NOT use air impact tools to tighten fasteners on Borla Performance Exhaust Systems. Use of such tools may result in bent flanges or gasket contact areas leading to exhaust leaks.
