Loosen clamp at the front of the vehicle post catalytic converter (red).
Loosen and remove nut from hanger mount (green).

Locate the 3 rubber hangers.

• 2 are located near the rear of the vehicle on both passenger and driver side as shown

VALVE-ACTUATOR INSTALLATION

Following the diagrams below, attach the actuators, brackets, and springs to the Dinan exhaust valves using the provided hardware.

IT IS NECESSARY THAT THE SPRING IS COMPRESSED AGAINST THE VALVE AND THE MOTOR DURING ASSEMBLY. IF THIS IS NOT THE CASE, PLEASE STRETCH THE SPRING OUT SLIGHTLY. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE UNNECESSARY VIBRATION NOISES.

DINAN EXHAUST INSTALLATION

STEP 1:
STEPS 1-4 include installation of the extension wire harness:
Remove the screws from the panel on the side of the stock motor connector.

STEP 2:
The stock harness is attached to the heat shield as shown.
Pull the harness through the isolator mounts to extend a few more inches.
Rotate the mount 180 degrees such that the connector will feed back under the panel.
Connect the extension harness as shown.

STEP 3:
The proper routing at this position shall look like this.

STEP 4:
Route the extension harness behind the heatshield.
The harness shall be pulled through the opening of the hanger mount that is next to the valve and motor.
Pull enough out to connect to the motor once the exhaust is installed.
Re-install all screws that were removed from the panel at this time.

STEP 5:
As noted in the final removal step:
Slide all rubber hangers onto the Dinan Exhaust system in the proper orientation.

There are 3 total:

1. for the middle inlet tube
2. for the axle back muffler section
   Image is for reference only

STEP 6:
Slide 1 of the clamps onto the front inlet pipe.
Slide the inlet pipe onto the stock pipe. Position of this pipe is dictated by the hanger position.
Install and tighten the nut at the hanger (green). This shall position the inlet tube.
Tighten the clamp.

STEP 7:
Slide a clamp onto the middle inlet pipe and slide the middle inlet pipe over the already positioned front inlet pipe.
Properly seat hanger and tighten the nuts to the vehicle (green).
Only snug tight the clamp, as adjustment in the pipes may be needed to properly align the muffler assembly section.
RE-INTALL BRACE AND TIGHTEN AT THIS STEP

STEP 8:
Slide 1 clamp over the rear muffler section inlet pipe.
With the help of a friend, take the muffler section and slide the inlet pipe over the already positioned middle inlet pipe.
Overlap shall be approx. 2”
Do not tighten clamp at this time.

STEP 9:
Once Step 8 is complete, properly seat hangers and tighten the nuts to the vehicle in both locations shown.
Ensure the nuts are tightened properly.
Again, do not fully tighten any clamps as adjustment may be needed. This will be done in later steps.

STEP 10:
Slide the remaining 2 clamps onto the exhaust tips as shown.

STEP 11:
Slide each clamp onto the outlet pipes of the exhaust with the tightening bolt in the orientation as shown.
Snug fit for positioning.

STEP 12:
Ensure DINAN logo is pointing up and tips are parallel to each other. The CENTER shall be between the ‘N’ and ‘A’ in DINAN. This shall be pointing straight up.
The tips may not be exactly evenly spaced from the bumper. We will fix this later.
Recommended tip position is shown. It is the desire of the customer on how far in or out they choose, as long as there is enough clamping surface.
Tighten the tip clamps once desired positioning of tips is achieved.

STEP 13:
Once the tips are tightened, final adjustment is needed.
Have 1 person push the exhaust system towards the front of the car and also upward. This may press the tips into the bumper slightly.
Proceed to the next step.
ALL HANGERS SHALL BE STRAIGHT DOWN OR ANGLED TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE AS SHOWN.

STEP 14:
Tighten the 2 clamps connecting the muffler section to the middle inlet pipe and the middle inlet pipe to the front inlet pipe. Let the system rest.
Examine the position of the tips and ensure that they are equally positioned from left to right. Examine to ensure proper clearance throughout the system.
Adjustment may be needed. Rotation of the inlet pipes may be necessary.
Once desired position is reached, ensure all clamps on both pipes and tips are fully tightened. Don’t be shy.

STEP 15:
Connect the extension harness to the motor as shown.
Feed any slack back into the heat shield opening.

FINAL STEP AND CHECK

1. ENSURE PROPER POSITION OF EXHAUST TIPS
2. ENSURE ALL PIPES HAVE CLEARANCE
