Step 1: (Carefully read all instructions before
installation) To begin removal of your OEM exhaust
system, you will need to cut the tail-pipes just behind
the mufflers. Remove the tail pipes from the OEM
rubber insulators. Do not damage the OEM rubber
insulators, as they will be re-used with your new
system. Next unbolt the extension pipes from the
H-pipe and remove the mufflers from their OEM
rubber insulators. Do not discard the fasteners
required to bolt the extension pipes to the mufflers, as
they will be re-used.
Step 2: Remove the existing muffler mount brackets,
and replace them with the new brackets supplied in
the kit. Do not discard the OEM mount fasteners, as
they will be re-used. Starting at the H-pipe, begin
installing your new exhaust system by bolting the
muffler assembly inlet pipes with the OEM fasteners.
Leave all components loose until a final position has
been set. Working rearward, install the Tailpipes
using the supplied 3.00" clamps. Then install the
optional polished tips of your choosing using the
supplied clamps hangers and set-screws.
Step 3: With all components mounted loosely, adjust
the system for overall aesthetics and clearance of
frame & bodywork. (MAGNAFLOW recommends at
least 1/2" of clearance between the exhaust system
and any body panels to prevent heat-related body
damage or fire.)
Step 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 40ft-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.
