You can goto AM's tech hub and buy a subscription to get the workshop manual... You gotta jack the rear up and remove the wheel liners first...

What part of the exhaust are you upgrading?

Also, keep in mind that the Sport selection button is tied to the exhaust system and traction control... You dont want to start getting dash lights when you go into Sport+ and track mode...

Thanks for the info! Going to do Velocity AP muffler and quad tips … my car is super early production #215 and I’m told the quad exhaust wasn’t available yet.. so looking to eliminate the pea shooter single outlets… the velocity muffler shouldn’t cause any issues with dash lights and traction system correct? Seems like a well engineered system…..thanks again for responding..

Got it! I have the 4 pipes.. Makes sense... If youre just replacing pipes after the cats, you should be ok... I know the CAT bypass sits just below our seats...

Yea, if you're going to log into the tech hub, go over to the parts catalog and pull up your current exhaust. You can see what it looks like by parts and see where the sensors sit on the exhaust... take a screenshot...

Another note.... if you need to buy an AM part, I would shop the US dealerships for price... each carries different prices and Millers is the cheapest in the US...

Reviving an old thread, were you happy with the AP Velocity quad tips? I also have the pea shooters and have been contemplating this mod . . . Cheers, KH

I'm about to do this to mine as well. I'm going to install the factory quad muffler which I have and the Velocity tips. I've already installed the cat delete pipes and that really improved the sound. I'm hoping the sport exhaust further improves the sound.
