Does anyone know how to locate installation instructions for the JOEZ PTS Exhaust?
Hello everyone, I just ordered a JOEZ PTS exhaust, intake pipe, and Tom's air filter. I was told that PTS does not have any installation instructions for this exhaust in print. Is this accurate? For those that ordered the exhaust, did it not come with instructions? I am having it installed at the dealer, but for someone that has not installed this particular exhaust, it will be somewhat of a guessing game with no instructions. Some directions are very important, such as what to torque the bolts to, what to tighten first, etc... Please let me know your thoughts...

The exhaust only goes on one way and should be apparent once under the car. Start from the front of the car and work towards the back, attaching each section individually. The bolts are hand tightened.
If they can't figure that out I'd suggest taking your car somewhere else.

I have seen instructions vary greately from car to car, and manufacturer to manufacturer, from Borla, Corsa, Kooks, B&B, etc...
I mean, the JOEZ intake pipe comes with directions, even though the installation is quite simple. The exhaust is more complex, so why no directions are available for the exhaust?
I just fear that something may be installed incorrectly, due to the lack of instructions.

I have not taken it in yet, but wanted to inquire if instructions were available, before doing so. I just cannot imagine and have not seen any exhaust systems that are shipped with no instructions. While a lot of it is common sense, there are unique directions for each exhaust, as I have seen from dozens that I have ordered in the past.

With all of those exhausts you mentioned they generally use slip fit pipes which are like putting together an erector set, so yes there is a need for instructions to put it together. The Joe Z exhaust uses no slip fits (one of the reasons I bought one) and has a proper 2 bolt flange on each pipe with a corresponding gasket and hardware.
FWIW I have a $3000 HKS titanium exhaust on my Evo and that didn't come with instructions.

Wow, $80.00 is dirt cheap. The reson that I am going to a dealer, is due to warranty and liability issues, when compared to a mom and pop exhaust shop.

The dealership is charging me a flat rate for a maximum of two hours installation time for both the exhaust and intake pipe with filter, so I need to have all of my ducks in a row, before bringing the car in.

In the past I have had two sets of aftermarket exhaust on older cars. None came with installation instructions, because everything is intuitive. The only exhaust I know of the comes with instructions is the Borla, because they use so many slip fit parts My F has a custom exhaust, because I wanted to keep the stock mufflers. However, may I suggest that you take it to a GOOD muffler shop for installation because that's all they do. But, anyone with any kind of sense about an exhaust system should have no trouble installing the JoeZ Good Luck.
