How to Install Magnaflow Exhaust Ford Mustang Motorz #27) #GJWhighonlife #GJWtechnology #GJWtram

I'm Chris Duke and today on Motorz I'm going to show you how to install a Magnafo Catback Exhaust System. Trying to decide which aftermarket exhaust system to purchase for your ride is nearly impossible There are many different configurations for every vehicle on the market, each offering different performance gains and sound. We've had good luck with Magnafo performance exhaust systems in the past with our very first episode of Motorz TV Now this particular exhaust is a 2.5 inch Catback system with 4 inch stainless tips and a dual configuration that includes all the necessary hardware. According to their dyno charts we should expect to see a gain of 11 horsepower and 14 foot pounds of torque on our 4.6 V8. As with all their exhaust systems, Magnaflo offers a lifetime warranty. Let's get cracking Before you get started you're going to need a heavy duty low profile floor jack some jack stands and some wheel blocks. You're also going to need a 1.5 inch and a 13mm open ended wrench, a ratchet a 13mm short and deep socket as well as a 15mm deep socket a socket extension, some safety goggles, a rubber mallet for banging that exhaust into position, coaxing it into place some work gloves, a breaker bar, and if you decide to cut off your stock exhaust also a sawzall. After jacking up your car take a 15mm deep socket and a breaker bar and you want to get this bolt off of here for the muffler. Once you've got that loose, take your socket, get it off of there On the hanger that's in the front you've got two 13mm bolts that you're going to need to remove. On the rear hanger there's three 13mm bolts. There's one here, one here, and one right there. Right here on this band clamp there's a 15mm bolt. You're going to have to remove that or just loosen that so that this whole muffler can slide right off. Just wiggle this out of that pipe and your muffler comes right out. To remove these over the axle pipes, take a 15mm deep socket and loosen these clamps. There's two right here and two right there. Once you've got these two clamps loosened up, these guys should wiggle on out. Now since we don't have a lift, the jack stands we've got our Mustang up aren't enough to give us the clearance to get those pipes off. So we're going to have to cut them off and for that we return to our Milwaukee Sawzall. I've placed a sandbag over the pipe here to keep it from moving around. Before you start cutting, just take careful note of things that are nearby like this gas tank. You want to cut right at this bend right here. When it comes time to install the over the axle pipes, we highly recommend you take it to a shop and borrow their lift because you do have to get your vehicle pretty high off the ground to install these. If you do do it yourself, we recommend that you have wheel blocks, some really tall and sturdy jack stands as well as a heavy duty floor jack. Now we've got the over the axle pipes hanging underneath the vehicle. We want to reattach these hangers to the vehicle with the 13mm bolts that you used before you get them off. Take your two stock hangers and attach them to your new muffler just like that. Take the clamps supplied by Magnaflow and put that around. Now put this up to your vehicle and start to put it on. You're going to need to wiggle it around quite a bit to get it to fit just right. You're going to want to make sure you have at least a half inch of clearance away from any other part of your vehicle, especially the plastic. Now once you've got everything positioned into place, you've got to tighten all the fasteners and clamps from the front to the rear. They've got to be very, very tight to properly align the pipes and prevent leaks. You want to torque these down to about 65 foot pounds. ... Brought to you by Helwig Products.

Have you ever thought of using a MIG welder to make your own exhaust modifications or repair some old rusty body panels but you're afraid of the costs or even if you could do it yourself? Well these days owning your own MIG welder is a lot cheaper than you think thanks to Hobart Welders. Their Handler 140 MIG welder right here is only about $600 and comes with just about everything you need to get started short of some protection like a welding helmet, jacket and some gloves. But even those things really aren't that expensive. The cool thing about this MIG is that it operates off a standard 115 household current and can weld steel as thin as 24 gauge all the way up to quarter inch steel with an output range of 25 to 140 amps with steel, aluminum and flux cord wires. This is by far the best welder for the home hobbyist especially for you guys who need to do some of your own auto body repair. This MIG is also a no brainer to set up. You just lift the side door and this handy chart tells you based on the thickness of metal and the type of wire, how to set the polarity and where to turn the knobs on the front for voltage and your wire speed. As for shielding gas, Hobart offers several low cost solutions as well. First, you can use flux cord wire like this which doesn't even use gas but it gets a little bit messy. So you're either going to want to go with a reasonably sized cylinder like this one from Hobart which comes with a typical gas mix of 75% argon and 25% CO2 or these smaller paintball sized CO2 cylinders which give you about 40 minutes of weld time. The great thing about these little guys is you can take them to your local sporting goods store and get them filled for only about $5 even on the weekends. Now Hobart backs up the Handler 140 with a warranty that covers the cost of the transformer for 5 years, the switches and controls and valves for 3 years and the torch for 1. While there's a lot of technique in welding with a little bit of practice and guidance from books, online tutorials and even Hobart's own message boards, the cost of the Handler 140 makes it even easier to learn by yourself by playing around with some scrap metal on the weekend. Check out www.hobartwelders.com for more information and stay tuned for a future episode of Motors. We're going to show you how to get started with welding using the Hobart Handler 140. Upgrading to an aftermarket performance exhaust is a pretty simple process as you just saw. You just unbolt or cut off your old exhaust and you put on the new one. Where it can get a little trickier is with these low profile vehicles like our Mustang here. So if you don't have the right equipment and can use it in a safe environment, we highly recommend that you take your vehicle to a shop and use their lift. Well that does it for this episode of Motors.
