MAGNAFLOW RECOMMENDS PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION ON ALL THEIR PRODUCTS
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.
ATTENTION: Always install any supplied band or U-bolt clamps to the proper
torque specifications of 40-45 ft-lb for band clamps and 30-35 ft-lb for
U-bolt clamps. Over tightening will result in the clamps breaking and will NOT
be warranted by MagnaFlow.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1. To remove the OE exhaust system you will to need to remove the
spare tire, heat shield and sway bar. Unfasten the clamp attaching the OE
inlet pipe assembly to the catalytic converter. Do not damage or discard the
inlet pipe clamp or rubber insulators as they will be re-used to mount the new
system. Working front to rear disengage the hangers from their rubber
insulators and remove the exhaust from the vehicle.
Step 2. To begin, fasten the Front Resonator Assembly to the outlet of the
OE system using the OE clamp and by fitting the welded hanger into the rubber
insulator (Leave all clamps and fasteners loose for final adjustment of the
complete system.)
Step 3. Attach the Muffler Assembly to the
Resonator Assembly with a supplied 3.00″ clamp.
Step 4. Next loosely attach the Y-Pipe Assembly to the Muffler Assembly
using the supplied clamp. Engage the welded hangers to the rubber
insulators.
Step 5. Complete the installation by attaching
both Tailpipe Assemblies to the Y-Pipe Assembly using the Supplied 2.50″
clamps.
Step 6. Once a final position has been chosen
for the new exhaust system, evenly tighten all clamps from front to rear using
the torque specifications on page one of the instructions. Inspect all
fasteners after 25-50 miles of operation and re-tighten if necessary.
