- On 2010-2013 Toyota Corolla applications, the OE assembly must be cut just in front of the weld at the resonator inlet.
- Several listed applications were originally welded assemblies, so proper exhaust alignment is important during installation.
- Verify the vehicle’s emissions configuration before installation, especially for Toyota Matrix applications with federal and California emissions notes.
