Installation Guide for Exhaust Pipes
Follow these steps to install your Jiangxi Guangfu exhaust pipe safely and effectively. We recommend professional installation for best results, but if you’re a DIY enthusiast, here’s a simple guide:
What You’ll Need:
-
Socket wrench set
-
Jack and jack stands (or a lift)
-
Penetrating oil (e.g., WD-40)
-
Safety gear (gloves, safety glasses)
-
Exhaust pipe hangers and gaskets (included with your purchase)
Installation Steps:
-
Preparation:
-
Park your vehicle on a flat surface and let the exhaust system cool down completely.
-
Wear safety gloves and glasses to protect yourself.
-
Lift the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands, or use a lift for better access.
-
-
Remove the Old Exhaust:
-
Locate the exhaust pipe section you’re replacing (usually connected via clamps or bolts).
-
Spray penetrating oil on bolts and clamps to loosen rust, then wait 5-10 minutes.
-
Use a socket wrench to remove bolts/clamps and carefully detach the old exhaust pipe.
-
Check the hangers and gaskets for wear—replace if needed.
-
-
Install the New Exhaust Pipe:
-
Align the Jiangxi Guangfu exhaust pipe with the existing system, ensuring proper fitment.
-
Secure the pipe using the provided clamps, bolts, and hangers. Tighten loosely at first to allow adjustments.
-
Install new gaskets (included) to ensure a leak-free seal.
-
-
Final Adjustments:
-
Double-check alignment and ensure the exhaust pipe doesn’t touch any undercarriage components.
-
Fully tighten all bolts and clamps to the manufacturer’s torque specifications (typically 15-20 ft-lbs, but check your vehicle manual).
-
Lower the vehicle carefully.
-
-
Test and Inspect:
-
Start the engine and listen for leaks or unusual noises.
-
Check for proper clearance and ensure the exhaust tip is positioned correctly.

Take a short test drive to confirm performance and sound.
