DIY INSTALLATION OF MAGNAFLOW EXHAUST

Tools needed

1. Jack

2. At least 2 jackstands, but 4 would be better.

3. 14 millimeter open close wrench

4. 14 millimeter socket and wrench

5. 12 millimeter open close wrench or socket/ socket wrench

6. blocks of wood or extra jackstand.

7. WD40 or any other penetrating oil.

8. Safety goggles

Setup

1. Make sure the car has cooled enough to touch.

2. Place car on Jackstands

3. I recommend you were safety goggles before going under car because dirt will fall in your

eyes during this install.

4. Spray bolts connected to catalytic converter and resonator with oil and let penetrate for 5

minutes.

Removal of Stock exhaust system.

1. Using a 14mm wrench or socket, begin removing the three nuts on the rear of the catalytic

converter (see red arrows on picture). Depending on the amount of rust, it may be really tight.

Keep in mind the top nut is a little difficult to get too. If you have a breaker bar, it will give you

leverage on loosening the bolts or even better, an impact gun. Always loosen a few turns on

each nut to avoid stripping of bolts.

2. Next step is to begin removing the two bolts that connect the stock muffler to the stock

resonator in the rear. Use a 12mm socket and wrench and begin removing the tension bolt.

Be sure to loosen a couple turns each side. The bolts and spring will come off.

3. Now that all the bolts have been removed, begin removing the stock muffler from the

hangers. Locate the two rubber mounts above the muffler. The best way to remove this is to

remove the rubber mounts from the hangers that are attached to the chassis. Your going to

have to work it off the mounts and it will be a little difficult. Just keep pulling.

Remove muffler.

3. Next step is to remove the resonator and piping. Begin removing the rubber mounts

above resonator from the hangers. Again, this will be a little difficult just like it was with the

muffler. Once you get it off, lower the resonator and pull the rest of the stock piping off. Your

stock exhaust should be completely removed.

INSTALLATION OF MAGNAFLOW EXHAUST.

1. Now we are ready to install our new exhaust. Install the resonator first by connecting it

back to the rubber mounts and attaching it to the hangers. This will make it easier to install

the piping (no picture).

2. Connect the flange to the rear of the catalytic converter and begin to tighten all three bolts

until tight or roughly 40lbs of torque.

3. Place clamp over pipe (do not tighten yet) and connect pipe to flange (pipes slip over each

other). With other clamp on the other end of the pipe, connect pipe to the resonator. I used

blocks of wood to hold one end in place.

4. Next, install new muffler on to hanger using old rubber mounts.

5. Connect muffler end to resonator.

6. Tighten down all clamps, and you are finished!!!! When you first start your car, check for

leaks. As the car warms up, your piping and exhaust will begin to smoke. THIS IS NORMAL,

it will burn off after 10 or 15 minutes of driving.
