We also positioned the exhaust tips as far inboard as possible to protect them from trail damage, but MagnaFlow gives you some flexibility to position them as desired.

With the truck securely on the rack, you can see the layout of the factory exhaust.

The first step was to remove the factory exhaust, including the massive stock muffler. One can easily see why the 5.7L is so quiet in the Tundra.

With the factory exhaust out of the way, we installed the MagnaFlow stainless steel intermediate pipes. They bolted right up to the catalytic converters.

Before installing the muffler, we were sure to slide the supplied clamps over the intermediate pipes. Once the muffler was in place, we torqued down the high-quality clamps. MagnaFlow includes all of the hardware required to complete the install.

Next, the rear pipes were positioned off the muffler. The tubing on the passenger side reuses the factory exhaust hanger.

For the driver-side exhaust pipe, MagnaFlow provides this new exhaust hanger.

The exhaust hanger utilizes an existing hole in the frame on the driver-side.

After the system was hung, the exhaust tips were installed and adjusted for levelness.

We also positioned the exhaust tips as far inboard as possible to protect them from trail damage, but MagnaFlow gives you some flexibility to position them as desired.

Here you can see how the new exhaust system is routed.

MagnaFlow provided this dyno chart, which shows an increase of 15 horsepower and 13 lb-ft of torque.
