Installation Guide
At Xhausts Performance, we are committed to providing high-quality performance exhaust systems and car body kits designed for a perfect fit and optimal performance. To ensure proper installation and the best results, it is important to follow the correct fitting procedures for each product.
Body Kit Installation
Our body kits are designed for precise fitment and will come with detailed installation instructions to guide you through the fitting process. Depending on the specific kit and your vehicle model, installation may involve:
Surface Preparation: Ensuring the mounting area is clean and free from debris before fitting.
Test Fitting: Checking the alignment of each piece before securing it in place.
Fixing Methods: Some kits may require bolts, screws, clips, or strong automotive adhesive to ensure a secure and long-lasting fit.
Finishing Touches: Some parts may need paint matching or final adjustments for a seamless factory-style look.
While many enthusiasts choose to install body kits themselves, we strongly recommend having them fitted by a professional body shop for the best results. Proper installation ensures correct alignment, durability, and a professional finish that enhances the aesthetics of your vehicle.
Performance Exhaust Installation
Unlike body kits, performance exhaust systems require specialist tools and expertise to be installed correctly. Due to the complex nature of exhaust fitting, all Xhausts Performance exhausts must be installed by a qualified mechanic or professional garage to ensure safety, proper alignment, and peak performance.
Why Professional Installation is Essential
Precise Fitment: Exhaust systems need to be correctly aligned to prevent leaks, rattling, or damage to surrounding components.
Specialist Tools & Equipment: Professional workshops have the necessary tools for cutting, welding (if required), and securing exhaust components.
Optimal Performance: A poorly installed exhaust may restrict airflow, reduce power gains, or create unwanted drone or vibrations.
Safety Compliance: Incorrect installation can lead to exhaust leaks or clearance issues that may pose a safety risk.
Avoiding Warranty Issues: Incorrect self-installation may void warranties or lead to premature wear of components.
What to Expect During Exhaust Installation
A professional installation typically includes:
Removing the Existing Exhaust – Carefully unbolting and detaching the old system while avoiding damage to sensors or surrounding components.
Preparing the New Exhaust – Checking all parts for proper fitment before securing them in place.
Alignment & Positioning – Ensuring the exhaust sits correctly, with proper clearance from the chassis and heat-sensitive components.
Securing Connections – Using high-quality clamps or welding (depending on the system) to secure a leak-free connection.
Final Testing & Adjustments – Checking for leaks, ensuring even distribution of weight, and confirming that there are no vibrations or unwanted noises.
Choosing the Right Installer
To guarantee the best results, we recommend taking your vehicle to a reputable performance workshop or specialist garage with experience in fitting aftermarket exhaust systems.
