Thumbs up Re: magnaflow 16633 install information needed

I installed mine in about an hour, and it looks and sounds great. If you install one, some of the tips you can find on here by doing a search will help. I used an exhaust donut stretcher tool that helped significantly in the removal of the OEM exhaust. That was the hardest part, but did it myself with the stretcher, some coat hanger wire, and a little WD-40. I also used a long zip-tie to pull the muffler rubber hangers together. That keeps the donut hangers from slipping off of the new mufflers. I also, put 3/8” hose clamp on the end of the passenger side muffler hanger to make double sure. Some on here have had trouble with that side slipping off. Both the zip-tie and hose clamp have been suggested by Forum members if you do a search. They also help keep the Magnaflow centered. Sorry, I don't have any pics of the installation process. Here's link to a picture of the stretcher tool. I got mine locally at a local tool discount center for about $3.
