Removal of Stock System:
1. Apply a penetrating lubricant liberally to all exhaust fasteners, hangers
and rubber insulators.
2. Remove the factory cross-member using a 15mm socket. Retain the
fasteners for the installation. The cross-member can be retained.
Refer to Figure 1.
3. Loosen the sleeve clamps on the factory exhaust located behind the
catalytic converters using a 15mm socket. Using a screwdriver, pry
back the tabs on the clamps. Refer to Figure 1.
4. The stock exhaust is one piece from the catalytic converters back. We
recommend three people remove the stock exhaust, one person at the front
the others supporting the muffler to prevent the tips from marking the fascia.
With help in place remove the rubber isolators and then slide the entire
system rearward to remove it from the sleeve clamps behind the catalytic
converters. Once you have lowered the system just below the sleeve clamps
you can push the system forward to remove. Refer to Figure 2 & 3.
Figure 4 shows the exhaust removed.
Installation of MBRP Inc. Performance Exhaust:
1. Loosely assembly the Front Pipes to the vehicle using the factory sleeve
clamps. The Front Pipes should be on an upward slope to the Resonator
Assembly, approximately ten degrees. Refer to Figure 5.
