Installation Instructions
Part Number: 10.297.500K, 10.297.510K
Description: 2005-2007 Mk5 GTI & Jetta/GLI 2.0T
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
removal of the OEM exhaust system by loosening the
OEM clamp located behind the catalyst converter. Do not
damage or discard the OEM clamp nor rubber insulators, as
they will be reused to mount the new system. Disengage
the welded hangers from the OEM rubber insulators and
remove the entire OEM exhaust system.
2. Install the new exhaust system by using a front to rear
method. Using the OEM clamp, install the muffler assembly,
then insert the welded hangers into the OEM rubber
insulators. Leave all clamps loose for the final adjustment
of the complete system. Using the supplied 3” clamp, install
the tail pipe 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.)
a4. Once a final position has been chosen for the new system,
evenly tighten all fasteners from front to properly align
the pipes and prevent leak (Approximately 65ft-lbs). U-bolt
clamps should be tightened to approximately 30-35ft-lbs.
Inspect all fasteners after 25-50miles of operation and
retighten if necessary.
