How to Install MBRP XP Series 2.5 in. Filter-Back Exhaust - Split Rear Exit (14-17 3.0L EcoDiesel RAM 1500) on your Dodge RAM

1. Apply some penetrating lubricant liberally to all exhaust fasteners, hangers and rubber insulators.  

2. Loosen the nut on the band clamp located behind the particulate filter.  

3. Remove the hangers from the rubber isolators on the vehicle and remove the stock muffler and tailpipe.

Installation of MBRP Inc. Performance Exhaust:

1. The Extension Pipe provided is pre-cut for the 149” wheelbase vehicle configurations. For 140” wheelbase vehicles, cut 9” off of the straight end of the Extension Pipe.  

2. Slide the 3” Clamp over the expanded end of the Extension Pipe and install it onto the end of the particulate filter exhaust pipe. Line up the Extension Pipe slot with the locator on the top of the stock pipe. Do not fully tighten the 3” Clamp yet. Refer to Figure 1  

3. Slide the other 3” Clamp onto the other end of the Extension Pipe, and then install the Y-Pipe. Leave the clamp loose enough to allow the Y-Pipe to be adjusted.  

4. Slide the 2 1/2” Clamps over the other end of the Y-Pipe and insert the Driver and Passenger-Side Over-Axle Pipes into each outlet while also inserting the hangers into the OEM rubber isolators. Leave the clamps loose enough to allow for adjustment. Refer to Figure 2  

5. Slide another 2 1/2” Clamp onto the front end of the Passenger-Side Tail Pipe and then insert the pipe into the Passenger-Side Over-Axle Pipe, while also inserting the hanger into the OEM rubber isolator. Again, leave the clamp loose enough to allow for adjustment. Refer to Figure 3  

6. Repeat Step 5 for the Driver-Side Tailpipe. Refer to Figure 4  

7. Install the Exhaust Tips.  

8. Finally, align the exhaust as required. Starting at the front of the exhaust, tighten all clamps and connections.  

9. Check along the length of the exhaust system to ensure that there is adequate clearance around the spare tire, fuel and brake lines, or any wiring. If any interference is detected, relocate or adjust as necessary.
