MagnaFlow BMW 530I Stainless Cat-Back System PERFORMANCE EXHAUST - Manual

Step 1:(Carefully read all instructions before
installation) Remove the OEM exhaust system by
first unbolting both inlet flanges behind the catalytic
converters. Disengage the hangers from the rubber
isolators. Be sure to retain all existing mounting
hardware as it will be needed to install your new
MAGNAFLOW performance exhaust system.
Step 2: Begin the installation process by first laying
out all the components of the new system to check
orientation and content. First bolt the Inlet flanges of
the inlet Muffler Sub Assembly to the outlet of the
catalytic converters. Slip the inlet pipes of the
resonator assembly over the outlet pipes on the inlet
muffler assembly, loosely secure with the supplied
clamps. Slip the inlet pipe of the tail pipe mufler
assembly over the outlet of the resonator assembly.
Loosely secure using the supplied clamp. Locate
hangers to the rubber isolators.
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 65ft-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.
