Use the hardware in the muffler kit to install the muf-
fler/tailpipe assembly in the orientation shown in
Figure 3:
1. Be careful not to damage the flexible exhaust
tube. Secure the two hangers, one on each end
of the muffler so that the flexible pipe lines up
exactly with the engine outlet.
2. Do not route the tail pipe near fuel lines or fuel
tanks.
3. Do not mount the muffler or tailpipe closer than
3 inches (76 mm) to combustible material
(wood, felt, cotton, organic fibers, etc.) unless
it is insulated or shielded. The temperature rise
(above ambient) on adjacent combustible
material must not exceed 117
°F (65°C).
4. To keep the tailpipe from being damaged, do
not route it such that it protrudes into the ap-
proach or departure angles of the vehicle or
below the axle clearance line (Figure 4).
5. Do not terminate the tailpipe underneath the
vehicle. Extend it a minimum of 1 inch (25 mm)
beyond the perimeter of the vehicle (Figure 5).
Support the end of the tailpipe such that it can-
not be pushed inward and up under the skirt of
the vehicle.
6. Do not terminate the tailpipe such that it is clos-
er than 6 inches (153 mm) to any opening, such
as a door, window, vent or unsealed compart-
ment, into the vehicle interior (Figure 6)
