Part Number: 10.297.300K, 301K, 302K, 303K

Description: 1993-99 VW Jetta / Golf Mk3 2.0L & 2.8L VR6

Warning:

When working on, under, or around any vehicle exercise caution. Please allow the vehicle’s exhaust system to cool before
removal, as exhaust system temperatures may cause severe burns. If working without a lift, always consult vehicle manual
for correct lifting specifications. Always wear safety glasses and ensure a safe work area. Serious injury or death could occur
if safety measures are not followed

Procedure:

1. (Carefully read all instructions before installation)
Disconnect the vehicle’s battery before removal of the
OEM exhaust. This will allow the computer to reset itself
with the new system, and prevent electrical accidents. If
the OEM exhaust system is one piece, you will need to cut
the tubing between the resonator and the torsion beam
to remove the system from the vehicle. The tunnel cross
member will also need to be removed. Do not damage
or discard the OEM fasteners or rubber insulators as they
will be reused to mount the new system.

2. Install the new resonator assembly by fastening it to
the catalytic converter using the OEM clamp. Leave all
clamps and fasteners loose for final adjustment of the
complete system. Install the new mid-pipe by fitting the
flared end over the resonator outlet, fastening it with the
supplied clamp, and fitting the welded hanger into the
rubber isolators. Install the new muffler assembly in a
similar fashion.

3. With all components loosely mounted, adjust the system
for appearance and clearance of frame & bodywork. It is
recommended to at least ½” of clearance between the
exhaust system and any body panels to prevent heat­related body damage or fire.

4. Once a final position has been chosen for the new
system, evenly tighten all fasteners from front to rear. The
supplied band clamps must be VERY tight to properly
align the pipes and preavent leaks (Approximately 65ft­lbs). U-bolt clamps should be tightened to approximately
30-35ft-lbs. Inspect all fasteners after 25-50 miles of
operation and retighten if necessary.
