MagnaFlow CHEVROLET MALIBU Stainless Cat-Back System PERFORMANCE EXHAUST User Manual
Step 1, Step 2, Step 3
Step 1:
(Carefully read all instructions
before installation)
To remove the OEM
exhaust system, unbolt the resonator inlet pipe
from the catalytic converter extension at the
2-bolt flange. Disengage the OEM rubber
insulators and remove the system from the
vehicle. Do not discard or damage the OEM
fasteners or rubber insulators, as they will be
re-used to mount the new exhaust system.
Step 2:
Install the new resonator assembly at
the 2-bolt flange using the OEM fasteners leave
all clamps and fasteners loose for final
adjustment of the complete system. Install the
Mid-Pipe and Muffler Assembly using the
supplied 2.50" clamps and by fitting the welded
hangers into the OEM rubber insulators.
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.
