Exhaust System Removal Note: With a used vehicle, we suggest a penetrating spray lubricant to be applied liberally to all exhaust fasteners and al- lowing a significant period of time for the chemical to lubricate the threads before attempting to disassemble. 1. Unbolt the flange located just in front of the rear muffler as shown in. (figure 1) 2. Lubricate all the hangers and rubber isolators. 3. Using a muffler stand or an additional person to hold the rear muffler into position, remove the hangers from the rub- ber isolators and remove the rear muffler from the vehicle as shown. (figure 2) 4. Unbolt the flange located just behind the catalytic converter as shown. (figure 3) 5. Place hardware and gasket to the side for use during the installation of your new exhaust system. Using a muffler stand or an additional person to hold the front muffler assembly into position, remove the bolt from the rubber isolator and remove the front muffler assembly from the vehicle as shown. (figure 4) 1. Using the original hardware and gasket, place the muffler assembly into position as shown. Hand tighten the hardware for now. (figure 5) 2. Place a clamp over the expanded end of the intermediate pipe and set it into position as shown making sure to install the hanger into the rubber isolator. Do Not tighten the clamp. (figure 6) 3. Place a clamp over the expanded end of the tail pipe assem- bly and set it into position as shown making sure to install the hangers into the rubber isolators. Do Not tighten the clamp. (figure 7) 4. Check your exhaust system for proper clearance under the vehicle and also for tip alignment.
