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

Step 1: Begin removing your OEM exhaust system
by unblolting the flange at the outlet of the catalytic
converter. Working front to rear detach all hangers
from the rubber insulators. Retain the insulators and
flange fasteners as they will be used to install your
new exhaust system. Remove the system from the
vehicle.
Step 2: Install your new MAGNAFLOW system by
first attaching the Resonator Assembly to the catalytic
converter outlet using the OEM fasteners. Install the
Mid-Pipe Assembly by slipping it onto the the
Resonator Assembly and loosley secure with the
supplied Clamp. Install the Muffler Assembly in a
similar fashion.
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.
