Secure the main muffler to the car body with a technological hook (technological hook).
Disconnect the additional muffler bracket from the suspension cushion (if necessary, cut the suspension cushion), remove the additional muffler and couplings (if available). The couplings are subject to replacement (flat screwdriver, technological knife). The operation must be performed with an assistant.
Remove burrs from exhaust pipe parts that will be reused on the vehicle (flat file).
