You have just acquired a unique set of exhaust tips for your vehicle designed and built specifically for your car. These tips were born and built in Austin, Texas. They are constructed of TIG welded, laser-cut, and hand-formed stainless steel, including all mounting hardware, washers, and rivets.
I have taken care to make sure these last as long as possible, but ultimately it is up to you to take care of them.
Installation is straight-forward.
MOUNTING:
1.) Remove the hardware fastening the HKS Ti tubing to the exhaust system and slip-off the Ti tubing.
2.) Carefully slip the Fringe XVO Afterburner Exhaust Tips in place. Be sure to take care not to scratch the finish (I suggest removing any rings or other jewelry that could come in contact with the tips). Due to the nature and slight irregularities of various exhaust systems coupled with the tight tolerances your tips are built to, getting the inner tubing of the tips to be flush with the exhaust section tubing may require some adjustment. It will go a long way to make this step easier if you can make the HKS exhaust system mounting tubes as true as possible before install. The Fringe XVO Afterburners are not as forgiving as the thin Ti tubes that are being replaced. Once the tubes are flush end-to-end and the mounting holes are aligned in the exhaust system slots, add one drop of Loc-Tite thread locker to each stainless bolt/lock washer combination and tighten them accordingly using either a 4mm or 5/16” Alan wrench.
CLEANING:
1.) It is recommended that only mild soap and water are used to clean dirt, grease, grime, and soot from your tips. Use compressed air to blow out dirty water from between the fins.
Thanks again for your purchase and support! I hope you smile every time you walk up to your car.
