Default Installing Borla Exhaust

For the do-it-your selfers: How do you tell which of the front lead pipes (the ones with the flanges) is for left or right. They look identical but something tells me there is a subtle difference and I don't want to have to take the whole thing apart once it's on. I've called Borla but they haven't called back.

I did notice that on one of the flanges they wrote the letter "B". Does this denote which side?

Any help would be appreciated.

If I recall mine had a "L" on one flange and an "R" on the other (At least that is how I put them in). It is possible that the "B" is just a sloppy "R"?

Were the letters stamped into the metal of written on? The "B" is definately a "B".

Look under the "garage" link on zchickz.com for a complete tutorial. Those chickz really rock.

Thanks. Been there, done that. It is a good write up.
My pipes have no markings what so ever except for a hand written "B" on one flange. I just checked again. I've also been on hold with Borla now for 10 minutes waiting for someone to answer.

Email me at davidb@borla.com and I'll make sure you get an answer by Monday. The pipes are most noticeably different at the front flange.

David,

I appreciate your involvement. Unfortunately I will be installing this first thing in the morning (Saturday) so receiving info on Monday will not help. I will get through this ok.

FYI, I finally did get to speak with someone there but he really wasn't much help. He wasn't sure if there were suppose to be markings on the flanges or not. He did confirm that there is a slight difference in the angle and suggested that I work in reverse, from the back to front.

Thanks anyway.
