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. NOTE: an extension pipe and 2-1/2” clamp have been
included to replace the original extension pipe on longer wheel base
vehicles. If necessary, this extension pipe will need to be cut
to fit these models before installing it. You will want to figure
out how much to cut off by checking the system as to your preference as
to how it hangs. Do not trim the extension pipe until you are
satisfied that you have the proper measurements.
2) If necessary, install the extension pipe to the y-pipe after
the converters. 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.
3) Install the dual clamp y-pipe hanger on the back of the
y-pipe. The mounting bracket slips into the existing hanger
mounts above the rear of the y-pipe.
4) Install the right tail pipe (it has 5 bends) making sure that
you have at least 1/2” of clearance from the shock. Locate the
hole behind the original tail pipe hanger (if one is not present, you
will need to drill a hole) and near the end of the tail pipe, and using
a fender washer, 5/16” x 1” bolt, nut, and lock washer, mount one of
the BR91930 swinger hanger to the frame. The hanger can be
adjusted up or down for clearance. Use a 2-1/4” clamp to connect
the right tail pipe and the hanger, but do not tighten at this
time. 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 (5 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. 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. NOTE: the tail pipe crosses over the top and behind
the rear differential.
7) Locate the mounting hole (or drill if one is not present)
directly above the rear of the left tail pipe and mount the hanger as
in step 3) for the left tail pipe.
8) Repeat step 4) for the left tail pipe.
9) 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).
