Common Problems This Part Can Address

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify inlet and outlet diameters, flange style, and overall length against the existing exhaust before installation. This muffler assembly uses a 2-bolt welded flange inlet and pipe connection outlet, so matching the vehicle’s exhaust layout is important for proper alignment. Professional exhaust installation is recommended to confirm sealing, hanger alignment, and clearance around the underbody.
