Removal of the O.E.M. system: 1. Park the vehicle on a smooth level asphalt or concrete surface and set the parking brake firmly. Place a block in front of and behind the front wheels. Jack up the rear of the vehicle and place on jack stands under the frame in the manufactures specified locations. Alternatively, it would be best to have the vehicle raised on a hydraulic lift. Warning: Do not work under a vehicle being held up by only a jack. Place jack stands securely under the vehicle in the manufacturer specified location. 2. Spray all the rubber hangers with a spray lubricant to ease removal of the system. 3. The stock muffler is secured to the vehicle by rubber hangers and flange bolts. Unbolt the muffler from the midsection at the flange then remove the muffler from the vehicle. See (Fig.1 & Fig.2) 4. Next you will need to remove the center section of the stock exhaust by removing the bolts from the flange in front of the OEM resonators. For ease of installation it is recommended that you remove the cross-brace. Set this aside as you will be reinstalling it. See (Fig.3 & Fig.4) Installation of the Stillen Performance Rear Section Exhaust System: 5. You will need to install the center y-section of the exhaust onto your vehicle. Reuse the stock gasket and bolts. See (Fig.5) 6. Use the supplied exhaust hanger to install the exhaust muffler on the drivers side. See (Fig.6 & Fig.7 & Fig.9) 7. You will need to flip the exhaust hanger when installing the muffler on the passengers side. See (Fig.8 & Fig.9) 8. Start the vehicle and check for leaks. 9. Done!

Transmission Fluid Refill NOTICE: This procedure contains the air purge steps required to purge air from the cooling system. This procedure is NOT intended for use with the Transmission Fluid Level Check. NOTICE: The vehicle should not be driven if the fluid level is low as internal failure could result. NOTICE: The fluid fill plug is located near the exhaust system. The exhaust will be extremely hot during this procedure. NOTICE: The use of any other transmission fluid than specified, can result in the transmission failing to operate in a normal manner or transmission failure. NOTE: If the transmission starts to slip, shifts slowly or shows signs of fluid leaking, the fluid level should be checked. NOTE: Here is an overview of the Transmission Fluid Drain and Refill procedure. Adding 3.3L (3.5 qt) of clean automatic transmission fluid to the transmission is an initial fill enabling you to start the engine. The cold level range shown in the procedure allows the vehicle to be driven. The vehicle should be driven to allow the transmission fluid temperature to reach 85ºC-88ºC (185ºF-190ºF) in order to purge the air from the transmission cooling system. Fill the transmission fluid to the fill range on the fluid level indicator at the normal operating range 80ºC-85ºC (175ºF-185ºF). 1. NOTE: The transmission will need 3.3L (3.5 qt) of clean automatic transmission fluid added to the transmission as an initial fill if: the transmission has been overhauled. a new mechatronic assembly has been installed. the transmission fluid pan or fluid filter have been removed. Using the special tool, add 3.3L (3.5 qt) of clean automatic transmission fluid to the transmission through the fluid fill hole. For additional information, refer to Adding Additional Transmission Fluid in this procedure. 2. Check the transmission fluid level cold. 1. The vehicle is safe to drive if the transmission fluid is in the cold level range 32°C-43°C (90° F-11 0° F). Using the scan tool and the engine running, place the transmission selector lever in each gear position and hold approximately 5 seconds. Place the transmission selector lever in PARK, with the engine at idle (600-750 rpm).

Original Exhaust System Removal Note: With a used vehicle, we suggest a penetrating spray lubricant to be applied liberally to all exhaust fasteners and allowing a signifi- cant period of time for the chemical to lubricate the threads before attempting to disassemble. 1. Cut the factory exhaust as shown in figure 1 directly behind the resonator muffler. 2. Lubricate all the hangers and rubber isolators . 3. Using a muffler stand or an additional person to hold the rear muffler assembly in position, remove the hangers from the rubber isolators and remove the rear muffler assembly from the vehicle. as shown in figure 2. 4. Unbolt and remove the center support as shown in figure 3. Place the hardware to the side for use during the installation of your new exhaust system. 5. Unbolt the flange shown in figure 4 and place the hardware to the side for use during the installation of your new exhaust system. 6. Using a muffler stand or an additional person to hold the remain- ing exhaust in position, remove the hangers from the rubber iso- lators and remove the remaining exhaust from the vehicle as shown in figure 5. 1. Using the original hardware, install the front pipe as shown in figure 6 making sure to install the hanger into the rubber isolator. 2. Place a clamp over the expanded end of the muffler assembly and set it into position as shown in figure 7 .making sure to install the hanger into the rubber isolator. Do Not tighten the clamp. 3. Place a clamp over the expanded end of the tail pipe assembly and set it into position as shown in figure 8 making sure to install the hanger into the rubber isolator. Do Not tighten the clamp. 5. Check your exhaust system for proper clearance under the vehi- cle and also for tip alignment. 6. Once position has been determined to be correct, tighten the Ac- cuseal™ clamps to 32-35 ft. lbs. making sure the clamp opening is not over any of the notches in the pipe. 7. Using the original hardware re install the center support as shown in figure 9. 8. Before starting your vehicle, make sure to check all wires, hoses, brake lines, body parts and tires for safe clearance from the ex- haust system. 9. Start vehicle and check for any leaks. If any leaks are found, de- termine cause (such as loose hardware or incorrectly positioned clamp) and repair as necessary.

engine type (i.e. I4 vs V6) 2. Remove Existing Exhaust System (I4 & V6) (a) Using a 14mm socket & box wrench, remove 2 bolts & 2 nuts from front flange (Fig. 2-1) (b) Keep all original hardware (OE) bolts & nuts. (c) FOR PPO ONLY: Ensure that the original gasket remains on converter assembly flange. (Fig. 2-2) (d) FOR DIO ONLY: Replace the original exhaust gasket with PN: 90080-43033 (e) Using a 14mm socket, remove & discard (either) 2 nuts (I4) OR 4 nuts (V6) from rear tailpipe/rear muffler(s) connection. (Fig. 2-3) (f) Using the exhaust hanger removal tool, release the center exhaust pipe from both supporting hangers. Discard center exhaust pipe properly. (g) Using the exhaust hanger removal tool, release the rear Passenger Side muffler from the 3 supporting hangers (I4 & V6).
