INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

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

2)  INSTALL THE LEFT (#E991) AND RIGHT (#E992) MANIFOLD PIPES USING THE ORIGINAL FLANGES.  YOU WILL NEED TO USE YOUR ORIGINAL MANIFOLD STUDS AND NUTS.  TIGHTEN ONLY ENOUGH TO HOLD IN PLACE.

3)  INSTALL THE LEFT (#E989) AND RIGHT (#E990) EXTENSION PIPES TO THE MANIFOLD PIPES USING 2-1/4” CLAMPS.  CLAMP LIGHTLY INTO PLACE.  NOTE:  FOR VEHICLES REQUIRING CATALYTIC CONVERTERS TO MEET EPA GUIDELINES, PART# 73-7774 OR EQUIVALENT (2-1/4” IN/OUT) SHOULD BE INSTALLED IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF THE MUFFLERS.  SEE DRAWING.  

4)  INSTALL THE MUFFLERS TO THE END OF THE EXTENSION PIPES (SINGLE OFFSET TURBO, NOT INCLUDED IN THIS KIT) ONTO THE FRONT EXTENSION PIPES USING 2-1/4” CLAMPS.  IF YOU SHOULD USE LONGER STOCK-TYPE MUFFLERS, ADDITIONAL PIPE MAY NEED TO BE CUT FROM THE ENDS OF THE EXTENSION PIPES.  ROTATE THE MUFFLERS FOR CLEARANCE FROM THE DRIVE SHAFT AND FRAME.  THE MUFFLERS NEED TO BE INSTALLED VERTICALLY FOR CLEARANCE.  

5)  LOCATE THE CROSS MEMBER IN THE FRAME AT THE REAR OF THE MUFFLERS.  DRILL A 3/8” HOLE AND MOUNT THE LB4 HANGERS TO THE FRAME USING THE INCLUDED 3/8” X 2” BOLTS, NUTS, AND SNAPPER GROMMET.  REMOVE THE STOCK RUBBER HANGER AND SPRING BRACKET FROM THE REAR CROSSMEMBER.  THEN CLAMP THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AT THE OUTLET OF THE MUFFLERS TO THE HANGERS USING 2-1/4” CLAMPS.  DO NOT TIGHTEN YET!!!

TRUCKS.  SHOULD YOUR PICKUP HAVE A SHORTER WHEEL BASE, IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO REMOVE THIS LENGTH.  THIS CAN BE DONE BY CUTTING IT OUT OF THE STRAIGHT SECTION GOING INTO THE MUFFLERS ON PART# E996 & E995.  SHOULD YOU HAVE A LONGER WHEEL BASE THAN 133”, ORDER PART #13000 FROM YOUR DEALER.

7)  INSTALL THE LEFT (#E993) AND RIGHT (#E994) TAIL PIPES TO THE FRONT TAIL PIPES USING 2-1/4” CLAMPS.  YOU WILL NEED TO CENTER THE HUMP IN THE LEFT TAIL PIPE OVER THE REAR AXLE HOUSING FOR MAXIMUM CLEARANCE (SEE DRAWING).
