Hey guys, John here with RealTruck.com.
Today, we're going to show you how to install the MagnaFlow Off-Road Pro-Series gas exhaust
systems on to this 2014 Chevy Silverado.
Some of the really cool things about this MagnaFlow exhaust system is that it comes
complete with everything you need to get this on the truck.
It comes with your inlet pipe; your mid-pipe; your muffler, which, by the way, is also a
flow-through muffler, and that allows air to move freely through this muffler creating
a really nice tone for you; and your exhaust tip and your clamps.
Also, you have your warranty registration card and the instructions sheet.
Now, as you guys can see here from looking at this, this is made out of stainless steel.
So you know it's going to last once you get this on the truck.
So that's what we're going to do.
Let's go ahead and start this truck up so we can hear what the factory OE exhaust sounds
like.
We've got our truck up in the air.
We're ready to start taking our OE exhaust off.
The first thing we've got to do is we have to cut our exhaust off right here.
Now, if you're looking at this, you can see there's a bump spot on the muffler right here.
There's also inside this muffler a heat flap in here.
So we don't want to cut into that anywhere.
So what we're going to do is we're going to cut right along the side of this bar that
runs over for our exhaust hanger.
Once we've got this cut off, the next thing we're going to do is remove our tailpipe.
And what we're going to do is we're going to pull these hangers off of the rubber hanger.
And what you can do is you can use something like WD-40, JB-80, something like that, to
allow this to slide out of there easy here.
And then I just grab a pair of channellocks and press that through.
The next thing we're going to do is we're going to loosen up and take this clamp loose
that clamps our exhaust pipe to our catalytic converter.
Be careful when you're doing this not to damage this clamp, because we're going to need to
reuse this clamp to clamp on our new exhaust.
If you're looking at this here, you can see that this is our new MagnaFlow exhaust systems
muffler that's going to be going on the truck, much smaller, lightweight, more direct flow-through
air than this OE muffler.
So just going to be able to function a lot better and let the truck breathe all the way
through the exhaust system better than the OE one will.
So there you go.
Let's get this on the truck.
So you can see our clamp that we took off of our old exhaust.
We want to take this and slide it up over here across the top of our ball assembly.
And then we're going to take our inlet pipe, and we'll slide it up here and attach it on
to there.
And then we want to put it through our hanger.
And then what we're going to do is we're going to move our clamp up onto here.
And then we're just going to snug this down a little bit.
We want to leave it loose enough that we can turn this and adjust it if we need to do that.
That should hold that.
So the next thing we're going to do is we're going to grab our mid-pipe and put that on
using the clamp that come with our MagnaFlow kit.
We're going to take our larger of our clamps, and we're going to slide it up on our inlet
pipe.
And then we're going to take our mid-pipe and slide it up over the top of there.
Now, you guys are probably noticing that we've got a hanger here with no hanger on the truck.
No big deal.
Don't worry about that.
Some trucks have an extra hanger in here.
Some don't.
And then we're going to do the same thing here as we did on the other one.
Just snug it a little bit to hold this in place so it don't fall off.
Okay, next thing we're going to do, guys, is we're going to take our muffler, and we're
going to attach it into our hangers.
Then we'll take our clamp and slide our clamp up and over.
And then we're going to put this together and slide this on, bring this up here, and
clamp her down.
Okay, at this point, what we can do is we can go ahead and tighten everything up, because
everything looks like it's in good place, where we want everything to be.
And then what we're going to do now, we've got all this tightened up and secured in place,
we're going to grab our tailpipe, and we're going to attach that.
We'll have this thing ready to just about start up so you guys can hear what it sounds
like with this exhaust.
So we're going to take our last clamp, our tailpipe, and attach that on here.
And then we're going to tighten this up.
There you go.
That's how quick, simple, and easy it is to install the MagnaFlow Off Road Series gas
exhaust systems onto your truck.
So there's only one thing left to do, get this thing down and see what it sounds like.
Remember, until next time, happy motoring.
