Exhaust systems can create extremely high temperatures. Prior to installing your iPE exhaust system, please allow your car engine to cool down or wear proper protective wear in order to prevent injuries during installation process.
Please be careful, do not strip or break nuts and bolts during removal and installation. Please tighten the bolts to the correct specifications in order to prevent mechanical issues.
With iPEValvetronic exhaust systerms, we recommend 60% throttle opening for valve actuation, in order to prevent excess resonance with exhaust sound.
Please note, It is normal for white smoke to be visible on the first start. The smoke will dissipate after the exhaust reaches working temperature.
For personal safety, please do not stand directly in front of the exhaust on first start. As it is a new exhaust system, the muffler is not yet active. There may be some manufacturing debris that will exit the exhaust system, which may cause injury.
Please note, iPE exhaust system requires a break-in period, the exhaust sound and tone may change after driving approximately 300 miles (500 Km) after installation.
