Remove the rear fascia from your X3. The panel is mounted using five (T30) torx bolts, three along the top and two on the bottom.

Remove the four muffler springs (figure 1), using a spring puller is recommended. Remove the muffler by taking out the four mounting bolts (figures 2 and 3).

Locate and disconnect the O2 sensor wire from the wire harness.

Remove the 02 sensor (22mm wrench) from the catalytic converter pipe. Pay close attention to the tip of the sensor to prevent damage or contamination.

Remove the two heat shield panels and clamps (8mm socket) from the catalytic converter. These will be reinstalled later.

Loosen the v-band clamp (11mm socket) connecting the catalytic converter to the turbo. This clamp can be accessed through the access panel in the cabin of the car.

To remove the catalytic converter pipe, slide it toward the front of the car, over the mount. Next, pivot the turbo side down until it is vertical. Finally, twist the entire converter out of the shielding and remove from the vehicle. Follow the images below.

Insert the Shocker pipe (following the removal steps in reverse) and loosely secure the v-band clamp, attaching the Shocker exhaust to the turbo with the exhaust gasket in place. It is recommended to apply anti-seize lubricant to the clamp nut.

Attach the heat shield panels and loosely secure with the original clamps.

Install the o2 sensor on the Shocker Exhaust with anti-seize lubricant applied to the threads.

Reinstall the muffler and loosely mount using the four mounting bolts (13mm socket). Secure the muffler to the Shocker Exhaust with the four muffler springs

With the springs installed and all other mounts loosely in place, tighten the v-band clamp to 8 ft lb (97 in lb). Next tighten the heat shield clamps. Finally, tighten the muffler mounting hardware.
