Exhaust
I just scored a sweet deal on a magnaflow 15712 catback system (brand new) and was wondering during and after installation if i should do anything in particular or watch out for anything.

Re: Exhaust
Watch out for leaks at the joints during installation the gaskets have to be centered perfectly between the two pipes

Re: Exhaust
Get some pb blaster and soak your bolts before starting. Some of them will probably be rusted.

Re: Exhaust
The clamp should be enough to make it not leak. If you used size adapters make sure you overlapped them properly (with the flow of the exhaust).

Re: Exhaust
also look out for clearance problems larger pipe diameter can interfere with your sway bar especially if the sway bar is after market.
