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. Step 1: (Carefully read all instructions before installation) Remove the OEM system by unbolting the flange located behind the catalytic converter and the flange located near the muffler inlet. Carefully remove the OEM system making sure not to damage any of the original mounting hardware or rubber isolators, as they will be needed to install your new MAGNAFLOW system. Step 2: Attach the Inlet Pipe Assembly at the flange junction using the OEM fasteners. Working front to rear install the rest of the new system by locating the hangers into the appropriate OEM isolator and by using the supplied clamps. 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 65ft-lbs). U-bolt clamps should be tightened to approximately 30-35ft-lbs. inspect all fasteners after 25-50 miles of operation and retighten if necessary.

Note: This system is designed to use the stock hanger locations. Please check the alignment of your OEM system before installation. If the tips of your OEM system are not straight or centered in the rear valance, then the replacement system will also be misaligned. 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 manufacture-specified location. 2. Spray all the rubber hangers with a spray lubricant to ease removal of the system. See (Fig.1) 3. Remove the 2 nuts at the flange. Pull the muffler out of the hangers. See (Fig.2) 4. Next you will be removing the black cover covering the bumper in order to make the cutout for the exhaust tip. You will be removing various screws holding it on from underneath/backside of the bumper. See (Fig.3) 5. Unbolt the reflectors by removing the screw holding them on. This will be needed in order to gain access to the 2 inner screws holding on the black cover. Figure 4 See (Fig.4) They easily pop off once the screw has been removed. Set aside carefully. 6. When the reflector has been removed you will need to unscrew the upper portion of the black bumper cover where shown in (Fig.5) There is 1 screw holding each corner of the upper black cover. Set aside as they will be reused. Figure 5
