Warning:
When working on, under, or around any vehicle exercise caution. Please allow the vehicle’s exhaust system to cool before
removal, as exhaust system temperatures may cause severe burns. If working without a lift, always consult vehicle manual
for correct lifting specifications. Always wear safety glasses and ensure a safe work area. Serious injury or death could occur
if safety measures are not followed

Procedure:
1.(Carefully read all instructions before installation)
Disconnect the vehicle’s battery before removal of the
OEM exhaust. This will allow the computer to reset itself
with the new system, and prevent electrical accidents.
Begin by cutting the OEM piping just in front of the rear
axle, at the muffler inlet. Disengage the hangers from
the rubber insulators and remove the muffler. Do not
damage or discard the OEM fasteners or rubber insulators
as they will be reused to mount the new system. Remove
the resonator section by unbolting the clamp after the
catalytic converter, and disengaging the hangers as
before.

2.Begin installing the new system by fastening the front
pipe assembly to the catalytic converter outlet pipe using
the OEM clamp. Leave all clamps and fasteners loose
for final adjustment of the complete system. Install the
mid-pipe by fitting the flared end over the front pipe
outlet, fastening it with a supplied 2.5” clamp, and fitting
the welded hanger into the rubber insulator. Install the
muffler assembly in a similar fashion

3.With all components mounted loosely, adjust the system
for overall aesthetics and clearance of frame & body
work. (MAGNAFLOW recommends at least ½” of clearance
between the exhaust system and any body panels to
prevent heat – related body damage or fire.)

4.Once a final position has been chosen for the new system,
evenly tighten all fasteners from front to rear. The
supplied band clamps must be VERY tight to properly
align the pipes and prevent leaks (Approximately 65ft-
lbs). U-bolt clamps should be tightened to approximately
30-35ft-lbs. Inspect all fasteners after 25-50 miles of
operation and retighten if necessary.
