4) Loosen the four nuts at the two band clamp connections at the inlet of the center resonator.
Using a screwdriver, pry up the clips on the clamp body to release the clip from the tab on the inlet
pipes. Slide the clamp assemblies slightly back to clear the tabs. With the help of an assistant,
carefully lower the stand and slide the assembly back to disengage from the inlet pipes.
Installation:
1) Remove the factory band clamps from the factory exhaust system and place them onto the
downpipes behind the catalytic converters. Place the 86348S X-Pipe assembly into place behind the
factory downpipes while supporting the rear of the assembly with a stand. Slide the clamps back to
the bump stops on the X-Pipe pipe and tighten both band clamps enough to hold, but still allow for
adjustment. Be sure that the X-Pipe assembly is fully forward, and that the embossed Flowmaster in
the center case is facing the ground before tightening.
2) Place the inlets of the axle-back muffler assemblies onto the back of the Flowmaster X-pipe,
be sure to slide them fully on and tighten the clamps enough to hold, but still allow for adjustment.
3) Adjust and level the X-Pipe and muffler assemblies to provide a satisfactory fit. A minimum of
1/2” clearance around all parts of the system must be maintained; while keeping suspension travel
and vibration in mind. After adjustments have been made, you may now securely tighten the
clamped connections.
