Setup and Installation

The Bosal 259-046 Exhaust Tip features a bolt-on installation method, which typically requires basic hand tools. Ensure the vehicle's exhaust system is cool before beginning installation.

Safety Precautions:

• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and eye protection.
• Ensure the vehicle is securely parked and the engine is off and cool.
• Do not work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Use jack stands.

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Exhaust Pipe: Clean the end of the existing exhaust pipe where the tip will be installed. Remove any rust, dirt, or debris to ensure a secure fit.
2. Position the Exhaust Tip: Slide the Bosal 259-046 exhaust tip onto the end of the vehicle's exhaust pipe. Ensure it is aligned correctly and positioned to your desired aesthetic.
3. Secure the Bolts: The exhaust tip is secured using integrated bolts or clamps. Tighten these bolts evenly with a wrench until the tip is firmly attached and does not wobble. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the tip or the exhaust pipe.
4. Verify Fitment: After tightening, gently attempt to move the exhaust tip to confirm it is securely fastened. Ensure there is adequate clearance from other vehicle components.

For optimal results, it is recommended to consult a professional if you are unsure about any step of the installation process.

General Use and Care

Once installed, the Bosal 259-046 exhaust tip functions as a decorative and protective extension of your vehicle's exhaust system. It requires minimal ongoing attention beyond regular cleaning and inspection.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and integrity of your chrome exhaust tip.

• Cleaning: Clean the chrome finish regularly with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive chrome cleaner or mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the exhaust tip for any signs of looseness, corrosion, or damage. Ensure the mounting bolts remain tight.
• Protection: In harsh weather conditions or areas where road salt is used, consider applying a protective wax or sealant to the chrome to prevent pitting and corrosion.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your exhaust tip, consider the following common problems and solutions:

• Tip is Loose or Rattling:
  • Check the mounting bolts. They may have loosened over time due to vibrations. Tighten them securely.
  • Ensure the exhaust pipe itself is not loose or damaged.
• Corrosion or Pitting on Chrome:
  • This can occur if the chrome is not regularly cleaned or protected, especially in environments with road salt or harsh chemicals.
  • Clean with a dedicated chrome polish. For severe pitting, professional re-chroming may be necessary, though this is rare for a new product.
• Difficulty Installing:
  • Ensure the exhaust pipe diameter is compatible with the exhaust tip's inlet.
  • Clean any rust or debris from the exhaust pipe end that might obstruct the fit.
  • If the fit is too tight, do not force it. Consult a professional installer.
