Installation Instructions for Flat 6 Innovations Porsche 996/997 Stainless
Steel X-Pipes w/ Flanged Cats
1) Remove air box
2) Unplug O2 sensors and free them from routing clips
3) Loosen collars connecting mufflers to cats, slide them
over onto the muffler pipe
4) Loosen clamps holding cats to hangers
5) Remove bolts holding cat to header
6) Remove cats
7) Move O2 sensors to new cats, strip the last one, go buy
4 new sensors if you need them, install new sensors
8.) Attach pipe stub to header, leave bolts loose enough
that the pipe can slide along the plane of the flange
9) Attach X-pipe section(no cats) to hangers, do not
tighten hanger clamps
10) Insert cats and clamp with V-bands, the flanges need to
mate correctly for the clamps to fit, make sure the writing on the cat is in the
direction of exhaust flow
11) Check fit of pipes to headers, these may have changed
when putting the V-band clamps on. Tighten pipes to headers
12) Finish tightening V-band clamps, apply lock screw
13) Tighten hanger clamps
14) Route O2 sensor wiring and reconnect- ensure the pre
and pay sensor wiring orientation is maintained from the prior arrangement. This
is critical for O2 sensing
15) Re-install airbox
16) disconnect battery terminals from both battery
terminals. Once completely disconnected touch both cables (the leads that
connect the battery to the car- do not cross the battery terminals!) together
and a small spark will occur. This discharges the ECU and forces the adaptive
learning to reset, so the car can learn the X pipe faster.
17) reconnect both battery leads, ensuring the negative and
positive both connect to their respective poles if the battery. Connecting the
battery backward will result in damage to the entire electrical system
immediately!
18) start the car- it will likely run rough for a few
minutes while it learns the difference in the exhaust. It may throw a check
engine light during the first couple hundred miles..
See attached pic of the proper sensor location and wiring.
