Install aftermarket exhaust on Pontiac Solstice GT¶

Step 1 Install Adapter Pipe ¶

Install the adapter pipe first but do NOT tighten the two nuts. The adapter pipe should hang a little. This will make tightening the O2 sensor easier. Use a LITTLE bit of Antiseize on the O2 sensor thread. Make sure you dont get any on the actual sensor.

Step 2 02 Sensor¶

Turn the O2 sensor wire opposite of the direction ou will be tightening it a few times to give it some slack. Install the O2 sensor and use a 22mm wrench to tighten.

Step 3 Install first muffler¶

Install the first muffler by insertin the bracket into the muffler hanger.

Step 4 Install second muffler¶

Install second muffler by mounting it to the muffler hanger.

Step 5 Install first tip section¶

Insert first tip section into the muffler pipe. Don't forget to slip the clamp in first.

Step 6 Bracket and Hanger¶

Once you have completed the slip joint between muffler pipe and tip, insert the bracket the hanger as pictured.

Step 7 Finish Hanger¶

Position the tip and tighten the clamp. You may leave it loose to fine adjust the tip angle later.

Step 8 Joint tip and muffler¶

Join the tip and muffler pipe on the other side and repeat step 7.

Step 9 Install Y Pipe¶

Install "Y" pipe to the front adapter pipe using the 3" V-band clamp.

Step 10 Finish Y Pipe¶

This is where a friend would come in handy. Holding up the "Y" pipe, connect the muffler pipe to the "Y" pipe using a 2.5" V-band clamp. Repeat on the other side.

Step 11 Adjust Pipes¶

Adjust the pipes, see locations for adjustments on image.
