INSTRUCTIONS:
NOTE: do not tighten any clamps or nuts and bolts until the last
step!! Before cutting any pipes it is a good idea to lay out all
the included pipes along side the vehicle and get a good idea of how
the pipes will hang on the vehicle. Please read the instructions
fully and thoroughly before you begin.
1) Remove the old exhaust system at the inlet of the muffler,
leaving only the y-pipe, converters, and the extension pipe on the
truck. A 2-1/2” ID/OD extension pipe and extra 2-1/2” clamp have
been included to replace the original stainless steel extension pipe if
you so desire.
2) If necessary, cut off or trim back the right rear vehicle hold
bracket to make room for the right tail pipe.
3) Install the y-pipe to the extension pipe, using a 2-1/2” clamp
to connect the two pieces. Make sure that the y-pipe is mounted
parallel to the ground.
4) Install the right tail pipe (it has 4 bends) making sure that
you have at least 1/2” of clearance from the shock. Install the
medium welded hanger using a 2-1/4” clamp in the existing o.e. rubber
hanger mount at the front, and install the short welded hanger using a
2-1/4” clamp in the existing o.e. rubber hanger mount at the
rear. NOTE: you may want to trim the right (and later the
left) tail pipe to your desired length.
5) Mark where you want to cut the right tail pipe by holding up a
tip next to the tail pipe. Trim the tail pipe to length.
Install the muffler tip onto the right tail pipe. Use a 2-1/4”
clamp to secure the tip to the tail pipe and hanger just installed.
6) Install the left tail pipe (3 bends) to the y-pipe using a
2-1/4” clamp, making sure that you have clearance between the rear
brake line (bend bracket to the front if necessary), shock, and spare
tire (it is routed between the shock and the frame). You should
end up with a 1/2” of clearance from the shock and the tire.
Again, you may want to trim the pipe to length. Install the long
welded hanger using a 2-1/4” clamp to the front of the left tail pipe
into the o.e. rubber hanger mount. Locate or drill a hole in the
frame above the rear end of the left tail pipe and using a 5/16” x 1”
bolt, nut, lock washer, and fender washer, mount the BR91930 to the
frame. Clamp the BR91930 hanger to the left tail pipe using a
2-1/4” clamp. NOTE: the tail pipe crosses over the top and
behind the rear differential.
7) Repeat step 5) for the left tail pipe.
8) Tighten all clamps, nuts, and bolts. Check for leaks and
for clearance of all brake and fuel lines, and for clearance of all
chassis and frame components. We recommend tack welding the
joints (not necessary though).
