Installation Instructions

Part Number: 10.297.220K; 10.297.222K

Description: SPORTTUNED ALUMINIZED EXHAUST SYSTEM, A3 4-cylinder 1993-98

Notes: This AUTOTECH exhaust for Golf and Jetta 3 vehicles is patterned after the 1996

and later factory design, using a single over-tube hanger just ahead of the

midmuffler. 1993-95 cars with a dual hanger design are converted to the later,

single hanger style using the hanger (1H0.253.144C) supplied with the Autotech

exhaust.

Procedure:

Note: Always use gloves and eye protection when working with exhaust system components.

1. Loosen, but do not remove the left rear wheel lug bolts. Jack up the left side of the car and

secure it with jackstands. Remove the left rear wheel.

2. Apply some penetrating oil to the clamp bolts and to the joints themselves and let sit for

10-30 minutes in order to loosen up some of the rust that may have accunulated. This will

make disassembly of your old exhaust system much easier. Loosen the clamp bolts and slide

clamps off the joints.

3. Before installing the AUTOTECH system, first lay out all the components on the ground to

familiarlize yourself with their installed orientation.

4. Remove the old exhaust system, starting from the rear of the car and working your way

forward.

5. Loosely install your new system. Start with the front pipe that slips onto the catalytic

convertor, and work your way back. Be sure to install all the components loosely, so that you

can rotate or adjust any pieces if necessary, for proper fit and alignment.

6. Of the 5 clamps supplied, 3 have the tubular hangers welded on. Note positions below:
