Installation Notes and Tips
Verify vehicle year, make, model, and center-position fitment before installation. Because the OE system was a welded assembly on the listed applications, related exhaust parts noted in the vehicle service information should be inspected and replaced as needed during repair. Confirm alignment and sealing surfaces before final tightening.
