Built as a direct-fit replacement, the MagnaFlow BRE (BRExhaust) 106-0223 cat-back kit targets the 1.3L Suzuki Samurai, covering the 1985 SJ413 and 1986–1995 Samurai 1.3L. The mandrel bent pipes facilitate superior exhaust flow compared to the crush-bent pipes commonly used in competing aftermarket replacement exhaust systems. The tubing is aluminized steel, and the manufacturer backs the kit with a two-year, unlimited-mileage warranty. Hardware is included, with a donut gasket, U-bolt clamp, and spring bolt kit in the box.
Compared with cheaper universal pipe-and-muffler kits that demand cutting and welding, this bolt-on design fits a 1986 Samurai, 1990 JL, or 1991 JS owner's weekend schedule. The multi-piece, adjustable layout lets installers route the system around axles, crossbars, and brackets. Keywords for this kit include Samurai 1.3L cat-back exhaust, SJ413 exhaust replacement, mandrel bent Samurai muffler, and direct-fit Samurai exhaust kit. Emissions equipment stays in place, so the upgrade doesn't disturb the factory emissions setup.
The manufacturer lists the 1985 SJ413 1.3L and 1986–1995 Samurai 1.3L. Find your exact fit by sub-model & engine.
According to the manufacturer, the kit leaves all emissions equipment intact, maintaining emissions compliance.
The manufacturer states that fabrication isn't part of the job, since the kit ships as a complete bolt-on system with its hardware.
This is a bolt-on job rather than a custom fabrication project. Per the manufacturer, the adjustable multi-piece design enables superior fitment by allowing the replacement exhaust system to be installed around obstacles such as axles, crossbars, and brackets. Plan on a floor jack, jack stands, penetrating oil for rusted fasteners, and a standard socket set. Support each section before loosening the old pipe, and dry-fit the whole system before tightening anything. Check hanger alignment and clearance from the axle and frame, torque the clamps evenly, and leak-test the joints at the manifold and the cat connection. Recheck clamps and hangers after the first few heat cycles.
