MagnaFlow 15178 Installation guide

  • Hello! I've reviewed the installation instructions for the Magnaflow muffler system designed for the 2007-2012 Jeep Wrangler 3.8L. This document provides a step-by-step guide for removing the old muffler and installing the new one, emphasizing safety precautions and proper fastening techniques. I'm ready to answer any questions you have about the installation process or the product itself.
  • What should I do before removing the exhaust system?
    What kind of clamp is used to install the new muffler?
    How should I tighten the new system?
Step 1: (Carefully read all instructions
before installation) Remove the OEM Muffler
Assembly by loosening the clamp located at the pipe
junction near the rear axle and extract the hangers
from the rubber insulators. Be careful not to damage
the OEM rubber insulators as they will be re-used to
mount the new system.
Step 2: Using the Supplied 2.50" clamp install the
new Muffler Assembly by sliding the inlet pipe onto
the outlet of the factory system and fitting the welded
hangers into the OEM rubber insulators.
Step 3: With all components mounted loos
ely, adjust the system for overall aesthetics
and clearance of frame & bodywork. (MAGNA
FLOW recommends at least 1/2" of clearance between
the exhaust system and any body panels to pre
vent heat-related body damage or fire.)
Step 4: Once a final position has been chosen
for the new system, evenly tighten all fasteners
from front to rear. The supplied band clamps mus
t be VERY tight to properly align the pipes and pre
vent leaks (Approximately 40ft-lbs). Inspect all faste
ners after 25-50 miles of operation and retighte
n if necessary.
