Necessary
- - skills of working with a car;

Instructions
Step 1
Make sure the protective cap is the correct size. Prepare the exhaust pipes, outlets and vents for installing the hood. Remove from them water, debris accumulated in the holes. Use a suitable method to clean the pipe. Cut the vent hole, it can be made at right angles or at an angle of up to forty-five degrees.
Step 2
Take care of the smoothness and cleanliness of the surface of the pipe that will come into contact with the protective cap of the car. Make sure all surface coatings such as paint are completely dry.
Step 3
Use the following guidelines when installing protective caps, which range in size from 17.7 to 101.6 millimeters. Install the retaining ring first and slide it over the pipe. Slide the ring down the pipe two and a half to five centimeters. Then attach the cap to the pipe above the ring. Slide it down the same distance as the ring. Then slide the ring up the pipe until it almost touches the protective cap.
Step 4
Install caps from 152.4 to 609.6 millimeters in size. To do this, first put the cap on the pipe and slide it down about 2.5 centimeters. Then thread the vinyl tie strap through the loop on the strip that attaches to the hood.
Step 5
Wrap the end of the tie around the pipe and slide it into the slot on the other end. Pull on the edge of the tie, but do not fully tighten. Slide it up so that it fits snugly against the cap. Tighten the tie fully to avoid further movement.
Step 6
Then cut off its protruding end. If the overpressure safety device is triggered, the cap may fall off the pipe, then reinstall it. Do not use acrylonitrile butadiene styrene or PVC hoods.
