Remove the factory cat back exhaust system.

If you intend to install a downpipe at the same time as your exhaust system, it is recommended that you in-stall the downpipe first to make exhaust alignment easier.

If you are re-using the factory downpipe, mate the AWE Tuning exhaust to the factory downpipe re-using the factory v-band clamp.

Assemble AWE Tuning exhaust on the car, using the supplied 63.5mm Accu-Seal clamps at each slip joint. Leave the clamps loose until adjustments are complete.

Install supplied exhaust tips, using the supplied t-bolt clamps. Adjust rear tip outlet section so that tips are properly centered in valance openings. Center the exhaust tips in the valence cut outs by sliding the entire exhaust system left or right on the factory rubber hangers.

Once tips are centered tighten down all Accu-Seal clamps to 40 ft/lbs. Rotate and adjust tip depth then tight-en down t-bolt clamps.

Step 3

Once the exhaust system is properly adjusted, install a hanger post clamp on each of the rear muffler hanger posts, as shown at arrow in Figure 1. Slide the clamp onto the hanger post so that it sits snug against the rubber element, and then tighten down with the enclosed allen wrench.

These clamps will keep the exhaust from sliding laterally under usage and will keep the tips properly aligned in the valance open-ings.

Tip Installation

To accomplish the best tip fitment, align the tip clamp to cover only the slot, as shown by Arrow A in Figure 2.

The clamp should only be covering the section of the tip that has been slotted, as shown by Arrow B in Figure 2.

Torque the tip clamp to a minimum of 18 ft./lbs.

NOTES: It is required to apply anti-seize to the threads to

prevent the clamps from breaking, shown by Arrow C in Figure 2.

It is okay to have the clamp extend beyond the edgeof the tip inlet.

Once installed properly, your AWE Performance Exhaust will provide years of trouble-free performance.

The exhaust volume and sound will settle with usage; 800-1000 miles is required to break-in new exhaust systems.

Periodic cleaning of exhaust tips is necessary to maintain proper finish, especially in areas prone to road salt and caustic deicing solutions. Use a mild soap and water solution or car wax to clean the finish. Avoid using metal polishes, as they can scratch the finish.
