Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s exhaust layout before ordering, especially single versus dual exhaust and any welded OE assembly notes. This muffler uses a center inlet and center outlet with a flange inlet and pipe outlet, so matching the original routing and connection style is important for proper installation. Confirm clearance, hanger alignment, and overall exhaust condition before final assembly.
