Note: When you first start your vehicle after the installation
of your new Borla Performance Exhaust System, there may
be some smoke and fumes coming from the system. This is a
protective oil based coating used in the manufacturing of
mandrel bent performance exhaust tubing. This is not a
problem and will disappear within a very short period of
time after the exhaust has reached normal operating
temperatures.
