Step 1:

(Carefully read all instructions before

installation) Remove the existing exhaust system
from the exhaust manifolds / headers. Some
systems may need to be cut for removal.

Step 2:

Begin installation of the new system

by attaching the Inlet Pipes to your chosen
outlet (Header/manifold). To install the
Resonators and Mid Pipe Assemblies it is
necessary to attach the hangers to the vehicle
using existing holes in the factory frame rails
with the supplied (blue) grommets and
fasteners. Moving rearward install the remaining
pieces in a similar fashion using the supplied
hardware into existing holes in the frame rails
again with supplied grommets/fasteners.

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 for
band clamps). Inspect all fasteners after 25-50
miles of operation and retighten if necessary
