5. Remove exhaust mid pipe by removing band clamp from y pipe(15mm)

25. Take for short test drive to make sure nothing is rattling around and that there are no noises being made from underneath the car.

26. After about 50 miles it is suggested that you take another look at the exhaust under the car to ensure everything is still connected and in place, This is highly recommended and should be done around 50 miles if possible.

27. After that enjoy your new dual exhaust for your V-6 mustang.
