Pro Tech Tips for Installation

Strip the Storage Coating: The black finish on this muffler is a temporary coating designed to prevent rust during shipping and storage only. It is not high-heat paint and will burn off during your first drive. For a professional, long-lasting look, we recommend stripping this coating with a solvent and applying a high-quality, high-temperature header or exhaust paint before installation.

Ensure an Airtight Seal: When mounting the 3-bolt flange, always use a new gasket and high-quality hardware. To prevent exhaust leaks, tighten the three bolts in a gradual, circular pattern to ensure even pressure across the flange face. Check the bolts again after the first few heat cycles, as thermal expansion can cause them to loosen slightly.

Check Component Clearance: Before fully torquing the flange bolts, verify the clearance between the muffler body and your rear bumper or engine tin. Type 2 engine bays can be tight, and ensuring there is no direct contact will prevent annoying vibrations and heat damage to your vehicle's exterior components.
