PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING INSTALATION
While MBRP Inc. has made every effort to ensure that all components of this system are of superior quality and properly packaged, it is the installer's responsibility to ensure the following before removal of the factory exhaust:

• that ALL components shown above are present.
• that ALL mating components fit together.
• that there are no damaged components.
• that the system you have purchased is appropriate for your vehicle year, model and configuration.
• that the system will not interfere with any modifications previously installed or planned. • that you have read and understand these instructions.

If you have any questions or are uncertain about any aspect of the installation of this system to your vehicle please contact your dealer before commencing installation.

Removal of stock system:

1. Apply a penetrating lubricant liberally to all exhaust fasteners, hangers and rubber insulators.

2. Remove the nuts from the studs holding the front flange together and disconnect exhaust system. Refer to Figure 1.

3. Remove the hangers from the rubber insulators and remove the exhaust from the vehicle.

4. If a hoist or hydraulic lift is not being used the tail pipe may need to be cut to clear the rear axle. Refer to Figure 2
