	The car we reviewed comes standard with a EFRA 053 look a like inline style muffler system with medium length header.
	Take the muffler mounting post. Fit a 3 x 3 mm setscrew a few turns in using a 2 mm hexagon tool. Do not use thread lock yet!
	Place the muffler mounting post to the chassis. Slide the muffler mounting wire in the hole of the muffler mounting post. As you can see the muffler mounting wire will not touch the fuel tank as it has a nice cut out to prevent this, so straight muffler mounting wires can be used.
	Secure the muffler mounting post using a 4 x 10 mm countersunk hexagon screw using a 2.5 mm hexagon tool. Do not tight it firmly as we need to adjust it later. Do not use thread lock yet!
	The shiny polished muffler that came as standard with our reviewed car is a non EFRA number engraved 053 look a like.

	Make sure the header is fully pushed against the engine exhaust silicone rubber.
	Take out the 3 x 3 mm set screw using a 2 mm hexagon tool. Check the muffler does not touch the fuel tank. Keep a gap of 3 mm. Refit the 3 x 3 mm set screw using a 2 mm hexagon tool and apply some medium strength thread lock. Tight it firmly.
	Take the muffler guard and mark the spot where it should be mounted.
	Remove the muffler from the engine. Mark the place for the 3 mm holes and use a reamer or a 3 mm drill bit to make the holes.
	Place standard flat 3 mm nuts in the muffler guard.
	Secure the muffler guard with 3 x 5 mm countersunk hexagon screws using a 2 mm hexagon tool. Use light strength thread lock.
	Refit the muffler and header and secure the header with a large spring.
