Exaust Care #

1. When installing a new set of stainless pipes, make sure your hands are clean and free
of oil. After installation, thoroughly clean pipes with a soft cloth and cleaning solvent
that will leave no residue (acetone glass cleaner, alcohol, etc.) before starting the
Side-by-Side.

2. It is considered normal for stainless steel exhaust systems to discolor due to heat.

3. High performance engine tuning utilizing a dyno will likely result in severe discoloration

4. Avoid long periods of idling as this can cause discoloration. Intake leaks can cause the
engine to run lean and overheat; this could lead to discoloration.

5. Make sure there are no exhaust leaks at the junction of the exhaust pipes and cylinder
head. We recommend replacing gaskets if they are worn.
