the machine screw and nut from one of the old hangers that you removed previously.

✦
Notice that the new hanger is bent at an angle. When installed, make
sure that the bend is pointing down toward the ground.
❑
Install the new exhaust header onto the engine by firmly sliding it over the silicone
gasket. Use the new gasket provided if the old one is damaged.
☞
Wet the silicone gasket with a thin film of oil to make it easier to slide the exhaust
header into place.
❑
With the exhaust header orientated toward the right side of the chassis, slide the metal
retaining ring into place and secure the exhaust header to the engine, using the
retaining spring.
❑
Slide the new silicone coupler onto the exhaust header, then slide the tuned pipe into
the silicone coupler. Once that's done, slide the tuned pipe mount over the wire hanger.
❑
Line up the tuned pipe and tighten the grub screw in the end of the tuned pipe mount,
then secure the silicone coupler into place, using two new nylon cable ties.
●
Installing the tuned exhaust pipe set is a good, inexpensive upgrade to get more power from your engine. It's easy to install, too.
❑
Begin by removing the stock exhaust pipe. To do that, first loosen the two grub screws in the ends of the exhaust pipe, cut the two
nylon cable ties around the silicone coupler, then pull the exhaust pipe off the chassis.
❑
Remove the two body mounting posts by removing the four self-tapping screws on top of the chassis.
❑
Carefully remove the retaining spring from the exhaust header, pull the exhaust header off of the engine, then remove the two wire
exhaust pipe hangers from the chassis.
To install the new tuned exhaust pipe set, do the following:
❑
Connect the pressure line to the pressure nipple on the tuned pipe, then reinstall the body mounting posts.
