CAMARO/FIREBIRD
Please read instructions completely before starting installation. Hotchkis
Performance subframe connectors are weld-in units and may require
modification of the exhaust system. This installation should be performed
by a welding professional only! They can not be installed on convertibles.
1) Support car securely on jack stands or hoist. Leave area under doors clear for
placement of subframe connectors. Begin on the passenger side.
2) Measure from pinch weld under passenger door to closest point of exhaust
“Y” pipe.
Minimum clearance must be 2 ½ inches! (see fig. 1).
If
necessary, remove exhaust “Y” pipe and shorten to allow adequate clearance
between pipe and passenger side pinch weld. Check for clearance, but do not
install “Y” pipe at this time.
