You proably have to drop part of the rear axle, because i think that borla uses a one peice intermediate pipe to increase flow, that wont clear the right rear axle. You should be able to call or email borla and obtain instructions.

Just remove the rear passenger side wheel and cut the stock exhaust at the bend over the axel. The Borla comes in a few pieces like the other a/m cat backs. The Borla is very nice IMO.

think mine came in about 6 pieces. Muffler, left tip and pipe, right tip with plates, y from right pipe and muffler, piece over axle, 3-4 pieces for the i pipe. had it put in for 60 bucks, i was busy at the time. Funny thing is that the muffler shop put a hole in my gas tank via cutting torch. so be careful, the tank is plastic.
