MagnaFlow CHEVROLET IMPALA Stainless Cat-Back System PERFORMANCE EXHAUST - Manual

Step 1: (Carefully read all instructions before
installation) Begin removing the OEM exhaust
system by cutting the factory pipe 3" behind the weld
on the underbody catalytic converter per Fig. 1.
(Sheet 2) Remove the system by unfasteneing
clamps and disengaging welded hangers from the
OEM rubber insulators, do not discard or damage the
OEM rubber insulators, as they will be reused to
mount the new exhaust system.
Step 2:
To install the new exhaust system, use a
front to rear method. Using the supplied 2.50" clamp
install the resonator assembly to the cut pipe. Leave
all fasteners and clamps loose for the final
adjustment of the complete system. Using a 2.50"
clamp, install the Pipe Extension Assembly and insert
the welded hanger into the OEM rubber insulator. In a
similiar fashion, install the "T" Pipe Assembly,
Driver's and Passenger's side Muffler Assemblies
and Tailpipe Assemblies.
Step 3: With all components mounted loosely,
adjust the system for overall aesthetics and clearance
of frame & bodywork. (MAGNAFLOW recommends
at least 1/2" of clearance between the exhaust
system and any body panels to prevent heat-related
body damage or fire.)
Step 4: Once a final position has been chosen for
the new system, evenly tighten all fasteners from
front to rear. The supplied band clamps must be
VERY tight to properly align the pipes and prevent
leaks (Approximately 40ft-lbs). Inspect all fasteners
after 25-50 miles of operation and retighten if
necessary.
