Locate the center clamp under the middle of the car. Undo these two bolts to disconnect the system from the downpipes. Then lube the four hanger rubbers - two by the center muffler, one by each of the rear mufflers - and pop them off. The exhaust then comes away in one piece

Take the center section of the Techtonics system and slide it into the downpipe. Using the original rubbers, hang the section in the middle and then refit the original clamp to connect it to the downpipes

The two rear sections slide into either side of the middle one. Use the lube provided to help you, then hang the rear mufflers with the stock rubbers. Finally, clamp the rear to the middle section with the Techtonics clamps provided. All the Techtonics hangers are straight rods, so the rubbers could slide off, but use the washers and clips provided to stop them sliding off

Slotted brackets are welded to each of the rear sections. These allow you to set the distance between the rear tailpipes and ensure they sit evenly in the bumper cut-outs
