- Cutting tool (if necessary)
- Exhaust sealant
- Safety glasses
- Gloves
Preparation
Before starting the installation, ensure that you have all the necessary tools and materials ready. Make sure to work in a well-ventilated area and wear safety glasses and gloves throughout the process.
Step 1: Raise the Vehicle
Using the jack, lift the front of the Mustang and secure it with jack stands. Ensure the vehicle is stable before crawling underneath.
Step 2: Remove the Stock Catalytic Converters
Locate the stock catalytic converters. Use your socket set to remove the bolts connecting the converters to the exhaust system. If necessary, use a cutting tool to remove any pipes that are too corroded or difficult to unbolt.
Step 3: Prepare the New Catalytic Converters
Before installation, inspect the Flowmaster High Flow Catalytic Converters for any damage. Apply exhaust sealant to the flanges of the new converters to ensure a proper seal.
Step 4: Install the New Catalytic Converters
Position the Flowmaster High Flow Catalytic Converters in place where the stock ones were removed. Align the flanges and secure them using the bolts removed earlier. Tighten the bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Step 5: Reconnect the Exhaust System
Reattach any exhaust pipes that were disconnected during the removal of the stock converters. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
Step 6: Lower the Vehicle
Carefully remove the jack stands and lower the vehicle back to the ground. Double-check all connections for tightness one more time.
Step 7: Test the Installation
Start the engine and listen for any unusual noises. Check for exhaust leaks around the new catalytic converters. If everything sounds good and there are no leaks, the installation is complete.
Conclusion
Installing Flowmaster High Flow Catalytic Converters can significantly enhance the performance of your 2015-2020 Mustang. By following this step-by-step guide, you can ensure a smooth installation process and enjoy the benefits of improved exhaust flow.
