EXHAUST INSTALLATION

1. Slide clamp onto inlet of converter and slide onto collector (both sides).


2. Slide clamp onto inlet of left head pipe and slide it onto left converter, making
sure to place the welded on mount on the head pipe into lower hold in factory
mount on the cross member. Tighten mount


3. Slide clamp onto right head pipe and slide it onto converter with the O2 bung
pointing up around 10 o’clock.


4. Slide one more clamp onto each pipe behind cross member and slide muffler onto
pipes. You may have to rotate right side pipe a little from side to side to match
inlets of muffler. Muffler should be level from side to side.


5. Take large T-shaped hanger and install it into the 2 rubber hangers above muffler
so that clamp will go over left side pipe.


6. Put clamp onto right side muffler outlet pipe and slide onto muffler.


7. Install left side muffler outlet using the hanger as its clamp.


8. Take hanger with flat plate welded to it and install it in the rubber hanger so that
the part that slides thru the hanger is pointing inward towards drive shaft.


9. Disassemble the provided saddle clamps and install one on each pipe so that the
U-bolt faces upward, the saddle goes under the hanger plate, and the nuts go on
top of the hanger plate.


10. Slide the last 2 clamps onto the muffler along with the polished tips. Align tips in
the opening where you want them and tighten all clamps and hangers.


11. Check everything over to make sure all clearances are good. ½” is usually good.


12. Install rear O2s.
