NOTE:  DO NOT TIGHTEN ANY CLAMPS OR FASTENERS UNTIL THE LAST STEP!
NOTE:  FOR REGULAR CAB SHORT BOX, YOU WILL NEED TO TRIM THE Y PIPE AND EXTENSION PIPE.  YOU WILL NEED TO CUT AN INCH OFF THE INLET OF THE Y-PIPE, AND CUT 18” FROM THE O.D. END OF THE EXTENSION PIPE.  

1)  REMOVE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AT THE CLAMP BEHIND THE CONVERTER LEAVING ONLY THE ORIGINAL Y PIPE, RUBBER MOUNTS FOR HANGERS (EXCEPT FOR THE TWO REAR HANGERS), AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ON THE TRUCK.  FOR QUAD CAB AND EXTENDED CAB MODELS INSTALL THE INCLUDED EXTENSION PIPE TO THE CONVERTER PIPE.  NOTE:   ON MOST MODELS THIS IS STAINLESS STEEL PIPE.  YOU MAY WANT TO USE AS MUCH OF THIS O.E. PIPE AS POSSIBLE AND CUT THE INCLUDED EXTENSION PIPE ACCORDINGLY.

NOTE:  THE FRONT PIPE WILL NEED TO BE CUT TO FIT THE SHORTER WHEEL BASE MODELS.  THIS PIPE FITS EXTENDED CAB MODELS WITHOUT CUTTING.  

2)  FOR THOSE WITH REGULAR CAB MODELS, CUT OFF 18” OF THE 2-1/2" O.D. END OF THE 22-1/2” EXTENSION PIPE, AND ALSO TRIM 1” OFF THE INLET OF THE Y PIPE.   SLIP THE FRONT PIPE INTO PLACE AND SLIDE THE 2-1/2" CLAMP ON THE PIPE.  NOTE:  THE INLET OF THE FRONT PIPE IS NOTCHED TO FIT THE O.E. PIPE.

3)  INSTALL THE Y PIPE TO THE EXTENSION PIPE USING A 2-1/2” CLAMP.  USE THE 2-1/2"  HANGER CLAMP TO ATTACH THE Y PIPE TO THE O.E. HANGER MOUNT ABOVE.  MOUNT THE HANGER TO THE FRONT O.E. RUBBER MOUNTS.

4)  INSTALL THE RIGHT TAIL PIPE TO THE Y PIPE USING A 2-1/4" CLAMP.  

5)  INSTALL THE LEFT TAIL PIPE TO THE Y PIPE USING A 2-1/4" CLAMP.  THE LEFT TAIL PIPE GOES UP OVER THE PUMPKIN AND BETWEEN THE SPARE TIRE AND THE SHOCK.  

6)  INSTALL THE RIGHT TAIL PIPE EXTENSION (11”) TO THE RIGHT TAIL PIPE USING A 2-1/4” CLAMP (IT IS STRAIGHT).

7)  INSTALL THE LEFT TAIL PIPE EXTENSION TO THE LEFT TAIL PIPE USING A 2-1/4” CLAMP (IT HAS A BEND).

8)  INSTALL A BR91930 (360 DEGREE SWINGER HANGER) TO THE RIGHT TAIL PIPE AFTER THE REAR AXLE, BUT BEFORE THE JUNCTION OF THE TWO TAIL PIPE PIECES.  YOU WILL NEED TO BEND THE HANGER AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE FOR PROPER FIT.  USE THE BOLT, LOCK WASHER, LARGE  WASHER AND NUT TO CONNECT THE SWINGER HANGER TO THE FRAME.  THERE SHOULD BE A LARGE HOLE APPROPRIATELY LOCATED, BUT IF NO HOLE IS PRESENT, DRILL A 5/16" HOLE IN THE FRAME.  CONNECT THE SWINGER HANGER AND THE TAIL PIPE USING A 2-1/4" CLAMP.

9)  INSTALL A BR91930 (360 DEGREE SWINGER HANGER) TO THE LEFT TAIL PIPE AFTER THE REAR AXLE, AND AT THE JUNCTION OF THE TWO TAIL PIPE PIECES.  AGAIN, YOU MAY NEED TO BEND THE HANGER FOR PROPER CLEARANCE.  USE THE 5/16” X 1” BOLT, NUT, LOCK WASHER, AND FENDER WASHER TO CONNECT TO THE FRAME AT THE EXISTING HOLE IN THE FRAME (DRILL ONE IF NECESSARY).  USE THE CLAMP USED IN STEP 7) TO CONNECT THE JUNCTION TO THE FRAME.
