Borla Exhaust Question

I just installed (half) of my exhaust last night - but notice that one of my hangers is missing, so I dont have my end pipes on right now. It just dumps after the over axle pipe

questions 1) is it going to hurt driving it back and forth to work like that (5 miles each way) - I didnt figure it would but just wanna check.

2) for people that have installed the hanger brackets, the directions state "take off the lower nut off the spring perch" -
do you just put a jack on the perch and slide the bolt out? i'm just wondering whats keeping the spring from wanting to move towards the rear of the truck. thanks

It won't hurt it at all. I'm not sure exactly what your talking about on those hangers with out pictures.

I believe that you remove the nut only then slide the hanger over the exposed bolt then reinstall and torque the nut.

It's not going to hurt anything to drive it like that until you get your other hanger.

The nut should be on the inboard side of the truck.
While taking the nut off the bolt is not to be removed, just the nut.

ok just figured i'd double check while i had some downtime. it seemed like it was going to be a PITA if you gotta take the bolt out. thanks for the help guys
