Removal of stock system:
1. Apply a penetrating lubricant liberally to all exhaust fasteners, hangers and rubber insulators.
2. Using a 15mm socket or wrench, disconnect the factory exhaust system at the four bolt flange located behind the catalytic converter. If the vehicle is not equipped with a catalytic converter disconnect the four bolt flange located approximately under the passenger side seat.
3. Remove the exhaust system from the rubber insulators and remove from under the vehicle. If a hoist is not available for use, it may be necessary to cut the tail pipe behind the muffler for removal of the system.
4. Unbolt the OEM hanger from the transmission and remove.
5. Loosen the factory band clamp and remove the stock front pipe. Some vehicles are not equipped with a catalytic converter. Do not discard the band clamp as it is required for the installation.
