How to Install Magnaflow MF Series Cat-Back Exhaust - Middle Side Exit on your Dodge Ram

Warning: When working on, under, or around 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 could occur if safety measures are not followed.

Step 1:(Carefully read all instructions before installation) Remove OEM system by unbolting the clamp behind the main muffler assembly. Disengage all hangers from the rubber isolators, then carefully remove the OEM exhaust system.

Step 2: Begin installation of your new MAGNAFLOW performance system by first slipping the muffer assembly inlet over the OEM outlet pipe. Align the locating pin on the OEM pipe with the locating notch on the muffler inlet pipe. Secure loosely using the supplied clamp. Insert welded hangers into rubber isolators.

Step 3: Slip the inlet pipes of the tail pipe assembly over the muffler assembly outlets. loosely secure using the supplied clamps. Attach supplied hanger bracket to the vehicle sub frame using the existing hole in the frame member. Secure using the supplied nut, bolt and washer. Locate all hangers to the rubber isolators.

Step 4: 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 5: 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.
