Here at American Muscle, we're all about DIY (do it yourself). Of course, there's nothing wrong with seeking out a little bit of tech help prior to taking on an installation on your own. Our Mustang installation guides will provide valuable instructions and hopefully answer any how-to questions that you may have along the way.

Please read through the instructions carefully before starting this project.  Take the time to get all the materials together as well as all the safety equipment.

When working on, under or around any vehicle, exercise caution. Please allow the vehicle's exhaust system to cool before removal, as exhaust system temperatures may cause severe burns. If working without a lift, always consult vehicle manual for correct lifting specifications. Always wear safety glasses and ensure safe work area. Serious injury or death could occur if safety measures are not followed.

Installation:

1. Disconnect the vehicle's battery before removal of the OEM exhaust. This will allow the computer to reset itself with the new system and prevent electrical accidents. Loosen the clamp that attaches the OEM muffler inlet to the over-axle pipe. Disengage the welded hangers from the rubber insulators, and remove the muffler assembly taking care not to damage the rubber insulators.



2. Before installing the new muffler assembly, slide the supplied 2.50" clamp onto the inlet pipe. Install the new muffler assembly by fitting the welded hangers into the rubber insulators, and by fastening the muffler inlet to the over-axle pipe using the supplied clamp. Be sure to line up the large notch in the inlet pipe with the alignment peg on the over-axle pipe, or the muffler will not fit properly.





3. With all components mounted loosely, adjust the system for overall aesthetics and clearance of frame & bodywork. (MANGAFLOW recommends at least 1/2" of clearance between the exhaust tips and the rear fascia to avoid heat related body damage or fire.)
   
   
4. Once a final position has been chosen for the new system, evenly tighten all fasteners from front to rear. The supplied band clamps must be VERY tight to properly align the pipes and prevent leaks (Approximately 65 ft-lbs). Inspect all hardware after 25-50 miles of operation, and re-tighten if necessary.
