Step-by-Step Installation Guide
1. Prepare Your Vehicle
Park your RAV4 on a flat surface and turn off the engine. Allow the exhaust system to cool down completely to avoid burns. Use a cleaning cloth to wipe the area around the current exhaust tip for better visibility and cleanliness.
2. Remove the Old Exhaust Tip
Use a socket wrench to loosen the clamp securing the existing exhaust tip. Carefully slide the old tip off the exhaust pipe. If it’s stuck, gently wiggle it or use a lubricant for easier removal.
3. Attach the TRD Exhaust Tip
Slide the new TRD exhaust tip onto the exhaust pipe. Make sure it fits snugly. Secure it in place by tightening the clamp with your socket wrench. Ensure the tip is aligned properly for a balanced look.
