Instruction:

1. Put the car up on 4 jackstands, high enough that you car get completely under it.

2. Let it cool off for at least 2 hours after driving.

3. The stock b-pipe and muffler are one piece. There are 2 bolts that hold the b-pipe to the cat, and there are 2 hangers that are bolted on to the car one is in the center of the car, and the other is by the right rear wheel. Remove the 2 cat bolts and the 2 hanger bolts.

4. The muffler is supported by 2 hangers near the rear bumper. Pull the muffler loose from there and the whole thing should drop off.

5. Clean the gasket surface on the cat.

6. Take a flange gasket and place it on the cat.

7. Take the front pipe of the GReddy and bolt it up to the cat.

8. Bolt the side of the GReddy to the support hanger that is near the center of the car.

9. Hang the muffler hangers on the GReddy into the hangers on the bumper.

10. Bolt the rear pipe to the hanger that is near the right rear tire.

11. Place a flange gasket in between the front and rear pipes, and bolt together.

12. Go buy a Y-pipe & CAI from Warpspeed to take full advantage of your new exhaust.
