• Installation Instructions for: SYSTEM #17199 1998-2002 CHEVROLET CAMARO/PONTIAC FIREBIRD 5.7L · V8 ENGINE
• Removal:
• 1) Disconnect the negative side of the battery cable. Raise the vehicle up on a hoist or rack and
• support securely with jack stands.
• 2) Using the hacksaw or sawsall, cut the over axle pipe off. (See Figure A.)
• 3) Loosen the band clamp on the adapter pipe. Once loose the front pipe may be removed from
• under the vehicle.
• 4) Remove the two screws that secure the rubber hanger mount to the frame on the right side of
• the vehicle behind the rear axle. This hanger will be reused for the Flowmaster system.
• 5) Slide the hanger on the left tailpipe out of the rubber mount. This will allow the tailpipes and
• muffler to be removed from under the vehicle.
• Installation:
• 1) Before installing anything, prep the clamps supplied in the hardware kit by removing the nuts,
• and applying a thick lubricant such as white grease or anti-seize to the threads.
• 2) Place intermediate pipe #26087 into position behind the catalytic converter. Install the 2 3/4"
• clamp provided and tighten enough to hold, but still allow for adjustment.
• 3) Install the over-axle pipe #26088 over the axle from the rear and onto pipe #26087. Slide the
• rubber hanger removed in Step 4 above onto the pipe hanger and reinstall onto the frame. Install a
• provided 3” clamp and tighten enough to hold, but still allow for adjustment.
• 4) Place inlet of muffler #530831 onto the end of the over-axle pipe and support with a stand.
• Install the left tailpipe #26098 by sliding the pipe hanger into the factory rubber mount, then insert the
• pipe into the muffler outlet. Install a 3” clamp onto the inlet and outlet connection and tighten enough
• to hold, but still allow for adjustment.
• 5) Install the right tailpipe #26097 by sliding the pipe into the muffler outlet. Install a 3” clamp and
• tighten enough to hold, but still allow for adjustment.
• 6) Adjust the position of all pipes and muffler and tailpipe to provide a satisfactory fit. Maintain a
• minimum of 3/4” clearance around all parts of the system; while keeping suspension travel and
• vibration in mind.
• 7) Tighten down all clamped connections securely. Slide the 7/16” hanger keepers onto the end
• of the two hangers behind the muffle rand also onto all round hanger mounts. These will prevent the
• rubber hangers from sliding off.
• 8) For a cleaner appearance and more secure installation, we highly recommend welding all slipfit connections. If you live in a geographical area that has harsh winters or sees a great deal of
• precipitation, the use of temperature paint over the welded areas can help to prevent surface rust and
• premature corrosion.
