Preparation
Before starting the installation, ensure that your vehicle is parked on a level surface and that the engine is cool. Gather all necessary tools and materials to streamline the process.
Step 1: Lifting the Vehicle
Using a jack, lift the rear of the vehicle and secure it with jack stands. This will provide you with ample space to work underneath the car safely.
Step 2: Removing the Stock Exhaust
Locate the stock exhaust system and begin by removing the bolts connecting it to the headers. Use the socket set to carefully unscrew these bolts.
Next, disconnect any hangers holding the exhaust in place. You may need to use a wrench to loosen the clamps or bolts securing the exhaust pipes.

Once the stock exhaust is removed, prepare your Tubi Style Exhaust system. Ensure that all components are present and in good condition before installation.
Step 4: Installing the Tubi Style Exhaust
Begin by positioning the Tubi Style Exhaust in place. Start by connecting the exhaust pipes to the headers, ensuring a secure fit.
Once the pipes are connected, install the hangers to secure the exhaust system in place. Make sure everything is aligned properly before tightening the bolts.
Step 5: Tightening Connections
Using your socket set, tighten all bolts and clamps to ensure there are no leaks. Double-check each connection for security and alignment.
Step 6: Lowering the Vehicle
Once everything is securely fastened, carefully lower the vehicle back to the ground using the jack. Remove the jack stands and ensure that the vehicle is stable.
Step 7: Testing the Exhaust System
Start the engine and listen for any abnormal sounds. The Tubi Style Exhaust should produce a deeper, more aggressive tone. Check for any leaks or loose connections while the engine is running.
