Installing a Magnaflow Muffler in a Mini Cooper S

1. Magnaflow exhaust package comes with three rooms - a resonator, center pipe and muffler section. The front resonator comes with a screw of the installation flange right onto your stock catalytic converter. This part connects to a central tube which is fixed with exhaust clamps, which are provided. And the rear muffler section joins, leaving the car in the center of the rear bumper. In addition, all parts are stainless steel that rust or stain - Magnaflow good job.

2. Now, for installation. You'll only need a few common tools to withdraw its relief actions; No need to exhaust knives.

3. Now follow the factory to exhaust catalytic converter. Now you must remove the mid exhaust mounting bracket from the chassis and using a socket. Make sure you slip the brackets exhaust on rubber mounting brushings. Set this piece aside with his shield head and you'll reuse.

4. Now find the flange in the catalytic converter. Be careful in this process because your whole exhaust system is supported only by the two rear supports of the muffler.

5. Now you can go to the back of the car and free the factory exhaust by removing rubber pads hangers. Congratulations, your exhaust factory was deleted.

 
6. If you arrive to exhaust plant outside, you're pretty much in the clear. You will install your Magnaflow system in reverse to take the old man. You can start by matching the resonator section with a flange to flange on the catalytic converter and bolting together. They slide the connecting tube in the resonator tube and secure it with the supplied bracket. This part also connects to the chassis assembly facility you removed earlier. Be sure to protect hangers for rubber pads.

7. One more step. Connect the silent section to the connecting pipe. The best way to do this is to drag the muffler exhaust hangers to hang first rubber ring and turn the back and insert it into the connecting tube. I recommend ensuring that all your connections are tight and you advice straight out of your muffler bumper. Oh yeah, and make sure to re-install the shield protection / heat plate.

8. You have just installed your Magnaflow exhaust system. Turn the car and make sure you do not have exhaust leaks. Enjoy throat roar of its new Mini and increased power.
