Removal of Stock System:
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 3” 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. Refer to Figure 1. Do not fully tighten the 3” Clamp yet.
3. Slide the 3 1/2” Clamp onto the 3 1/2” end of the Extension Pipe.
4. Before installing the Tail Pipe, the spare tire must be lowered using the access hole in the rear bumper. With the spare tire lowered, the Tail Pipe can be maneuvered over the rear axle and into position. Refer to Figure 2
5. Remove the OEM isolator from the two hangers at the rear location and install it onto the rear hanger of the Tail Pipe. Refer to Figure 3
6. Install the Tail Pipe onto the Extension Pipe. Install the two front Tail Pipe hangers into the OEM rubber isolators and then slide the rear isolator back onto the stock hangers (Refer to Figure 3).
7. Slide the 3 1/2” Clamp onto the Tail Pipe, leaving it loose enough for adjustability.
8. Install the Exhaust Tip at the desired position. Refer to Figure 4
9. Align the exhaust as required. Starting at the front of the exhaust, tighten all clamps and connections.
10. 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 there is any interference detected, relocate or adjust as necessary.
Congratulations! You are ready to begin experiencing the improved power, sound and driving experience of your MBRP Inc. performance exhaust system. We hope you enjoy your purchase.
