Instruction Manual

Step 1: (Carefully read all instructions before
installation) Temporarily remove any OEM cross
braces before removal of the OEM exhaust system.
you will need to cut your OEM exhaust system 12.5"
after rear weld on driver side converter. And 6" on
the passenger side (See Figure.1). Do not damage or
discard the OEM rubber insulators as they will be
used to mount the new Magnaflow system. You
should now be able to remove the system by
disengaging the welded hangers from the rubber
insulators.
Step 2: Begin installation of the new Magnaflow
system by using the front to rear method. Install the
Resonator assemblies, extension pipe and the
muffler using the supplied 2.25" clamps and by fitting
the welded hangers of the Mufflers into the OEM
rubber insulators. Leave all clamps loose for 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). Inspect all fasteners
after 25-50 miles of operation and retighten if
necessary.
