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 clamp of the inlet of the muffler, leaving only the y-pipe, converter, and the extension pipe on the truck.  NOTE:  you will need to re-use the extension pipe after the converter  to the muffler.  The y-pipe will replace the muffler in the same location.  

2)  Install the y-pipe to the original extension pipe using a 3” clamp, be sure to line up the notch.  Install the 3” hanger clamp to the y-pipe and connect the hanger to the o.e. rubber mount above the y-pipe.

3)  Install the right tail pipe (making sure that you have at least 1/2” of clearance from the shock, the tail pipe runs between the shock and the spare tire) using a 2-1/4” clamp.  Install the 2-1/4” hanger clamp to the o.e. rubber mount before the rear axle and above the right tail pipe, and connect to the right tail pipe.  

4)  Install the right tail pipe extension to the right tail pipe using a 2-1/4” clamp.  Locate a hole in the frame (if one is not present, you will need to drill a hole) near the end of the right tail pipe extension, and using a fender washer, 5/16” x 1” bolt, nut, and lock washer, mount a THU900 swinger hanger to the frame.  The hanger can be adjusted up or down for clearance.    NOTE:  you may want to trim the right (and later the left) tail pipe extension 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 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.  NOTE:  on some vehicles, it may be necessary to trim from, or remove all together, the o.e. muffler heat shield for clearance of the left tail pipe--do so now if necessary.  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, and runs between the shock and the spare tire

7)   Install the left tail pipe extension to the left tail pipe using a 2-1/4” clamp.  Locate a hole in the frame (if one is not present, you will need to drill a hole) near the end of the left tail pipe extension, and using a fender washer, 5/16” x 1” bolt, nut, and lock washer, mount a THU900 swinger hanger to the frame.  The hanger can be adjusted up or down for clearance.    NOTE:  you may want to trim the left tail pipe extension to your desired length.  
    
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).
