MagnaFlow AUDI A4 QUATTRO Stainless Cat-Back System PERFORMANCE EXHAUST - Manual

Step 1: (Carefully read all instructions before
installation) Begin removal of the OEM exhaust
system by loosening the OEM clamp located behind
the catalytic 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.
Step 2: Install the new exhaust system by using a
front to rear method. Using the OEM clamp, install
the Inlet pipe. Then install the Resonator Assembly
using the supplied 2.50" clamp and insert the welded
hanger into the OEM rubber insulator. Using the
supplied 2.50" clamps, install the Muffler Assembly in
a similiar fashion. Leave all clamps loose for the final
adjustment of the complete system.
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.
