Installing Exhaust System

Always check the installation dimensions (danger of noise, components hitting against each other)!

Push new exhaust clamps (clamping sleeves) onto exhaust pipes. The threaded joint must be pointing downwards.
If you have not already done so, position the exhaust system on a transmission jack and secure using a tension strap. -arrows-
