DESCRIPTION: AUTOTECH SPORTTUNED EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR A2 MODELS, 1985-92
As the removal and installation of the A2 VW exhaust system is a relatively simple one,
the purpose of this sheet will be to overview the procedure on how to perform a successful
installation. Please read this entire page before proceeding.
Rear Muffler
Jetta 2 Golf 2
Clamp with hanger
welded on.
Procedure:
Note: Always use gloves and eye protection when working with exhaust system components.
1. Loosen, but do not remove the left rear wheel lug bolts. Jack up the left side of the car and
secure it with jackstands. Remove the left rear wheel.
2. Apply some penetrating oil to the clamp bolts and to the joints themselves and let sit for
10-30 minutes in order to loosen up some of the rust that may have accumulated. This will
make disassembly of your old exhaust system much easier. Loosen the clamp bolts and slide
clamps off the joints.
3. Before installing the AUTOTECH system, first lay out all the components on the ground to
familiarlize yourself with their installed orientation.
4. Remove the old exhaust system, starting from the rear of the car and working your way
forward.
5. Now, loosely install your new system, starting at the front. Start with the front pipe that
slips onto the catalytic convertor, and work your way back. Be sure to install all the
components loosely, so that you can rotate or adjust any pieces for proper fit and alignment.
