DUAL EXHAUST KIT

FITS 1990-1991 & 1994-1996 DODGE DAKOTA 2WD & 4WD PICKUPS W/3.9L V-6 & 5.2L V-8 AND SINGLE 2-1/2" EXHAUST AFTER THE CONVERTER.  THIS KIT FITS ALL WHEEL BASE MODELS.

NOTE:  DO NOT TIGHTEN ANY CLAMPS OR FASTENERS UNTIL THE LAST STEP!

NOTE:  YOU MAY NEED TO CUT THE INCLUDED EXTENSION PIPE TO LENGTH.

NOTE:  PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE YOU BEGIN.

1)  REMOVE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AT THE CLAMP AFTER THE CONVERTER PIPE.  YOU WILL NEED TO REMOVE THE O.E. HANGER ASSEMBLY THAT IS AT THE REAR OF THE MUFFLER FROM THE FRAME.  IF YOUR VEHICLE HAS AN O.E. HANGER ASSEMBLY AT THE FRONT OF THE MUFFLER, YOU MAY NEED TO REMOVE IT IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO REUSE IT. 

NOTE:  THE FRONT PIPE MAY NEED TO BE CUT TO LENGTH DEPENDING UPON THE STYLE OF CONVERTER YOUR VEHICLE HAS.  IF THE CONVERTER PIPE RUNS ALL THE WAY TO THE MUFFLER, YOU WILL NEED TO TRIM THE INCLUDED EXTENSION PIPE SHORT TO ADAPT THE CONVERTER PIPE TO THE INLET OF THE MUFFLER.  IF THIS PIPE DOES NOT GO ALL THE WAY TO THE MUFFLER, YOU CAN REMOVE THE O.E. EXTENSION PIPE AT THE CLAMP AFTER THE MUFFLER.  THE INCLUDED EXTENSION PIPE WILL NEED TO BE THE SAME LENGTH AS THE O.E. EXTENSION PIPE.

2)  INSTALL THE FRONT EXTENSION PIPE (CUT TO LENGTH) TO THE CONVERTER PIPE USING A 2-1/2” CLAMP. 

3)  INSTALL THE INLET OF THE MUFFLER (CENTER INLET, OUTLET OFFSET AWAY FROM THE DRIVE SHAFT) TO THE FRONT EXTENSION PIPE.   MOST VEHICLES WILL HAVE AN O.E. HANGER ABOVE THE INLET OF THE MUFFLER.  YOU MAY REUSE THIS O.E. HANGER WITH A NEW 3” CLAMP.  OTHERWISE, WE HAVE INCLUDED A UNIVERSAL SWINGER HANGER (BR91930) THAT MAY BE USED INSTEAD.  IF YOU WANT TO USE THIS, REMOVE THE O.E. HANGER FROM THE VEHICLE, AND SAVE ONE OF THE LAG SCREWS.  YOU WILL NEED TO PUT A SLIGHT BEND IN THE BR91930 SWINGER HANGER NEAR THE LAST HOLE.  INSTALL THIS HANGER TO THE PASSENGER’S SIDE HOLE USING AN O.E. LAG SCREW.  USE THE 2-1/2” CLAMP THAT CONNECTS THE EXTENSION PIPE TO THE MUFFLER TO CONNECT THE BR91930 TO THIS JUNCTION.

4)  INSTALL THE INLET OF THE TAIL PIPE (O.D. END) TO THE MUFFLER USING A 3" CLAMP.

5)  REMOVE THE O.E. HANGER AT THE REAR OF THE MUFFLER, AND SAVE THE LAG SCREW.  AS IN STEP 3), INSTALL THE BR91930 HANGER TO THE HOLE WHERE THE O.E. HANGER WAS, A SLIGHT BEND IN THE HANGER MAY BE NECESSARY AGAIN.  USE THE 3” CLAMP FROM STEP 4) TO CONNECT THE JUNCTION OF THE MUFFLER AND THE TAIL PIPE TO THE HANGER.

6)  INSTALL THE TAIL PIPE EXTENSION TO THE TAIL PIPE USING A 3" CLAMP. 

7)  LOCATE THE SLOTTED HOLE ABOVE THE CONNECTION POINT OF THE TAIL PIPE AND THE TAIL PIPE EXTENSION.  INSTALL A BR91930 SWINGER HANGER TO THE FRAME AT THIS HOLE (DRILL ONE IF NONE IS PRESENT) USING A 5/16” X 1-1/4” BOLT, NUT, LOCK WASHER, AND FENDER WASHERS.  USE THE CLAMP FROM STEP 6) TO CONNECT THE HANGER TO THE TAIL PIPE AND TAIL PIPE EXTENSION.

8)  TIGHTEN ALL CLAMPS AND BOLTS.  CHECK FOR CLEARANCE OF THE FRAME, BODY, AND BRAKE AND FUEL LINES.
