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

Step 1:(Carefully read all instructions before
installation) Begin the removal process of your OEM
system by first measuring 4.00" rearward of the
hanger behind the catalytic converter, then cut the
OEM pipe. Working front to rear unbolt the system
and remove all welded hangers from the rubber
insulators. The OEM exhaust can now be removed.
During the removal process be sure not to damage
the mounting hardware as it will be needed to mount
your new MAGNAFLOW system.
Step 2: Install your new exhaust system by first
attaching the inlet of the resonator assembly to the
cut outlet of the catalytic converter. Attach using the
supplied clamp. Slip the inlet of the Y-pipe assembly
over the outlet of the resonator assembly using the
supplied clamp, locating the welded hanger to the
rubber insulator. Mount both muffler assemblies in
the same fashion using the supplied clamps.
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). U-bolt clamps should be
tightened to approximately 30-35ft-lbs. Inspect all
fasteners after 25-50 miles of operation and retighten
if necessary.

any vehicle exercise caution. Please allow the
vehicle's exhaust system to cool before removal,
as exhaust system temperatures may cause
severe burns. If working without a lift, always
consult vehicle manual for correct lifting
specifications. Always wear safety glasses and
ensure a safe work area. Serious injury or death
