1)  Remove the exhaust system at the clamp after the converter y-pipe.  You will need to cut your old exhaust system in pieces to remove it, be sure to keep the o.e. rubber hanger mounts on the truck.  Remove the ground temporarily.

Note:  the extension pipe will need to be cut to fit the shorter wheel base models.  This pipe fits 131.5” wheel base models without cutting. 

2)  For 131.5” wheel base, install the extension pipe to the converter pipe using a 2-1/2” clamp.  Be sure to line up the notch on the extension pipe to the converter y-pipe.

3)  Install the 3” hanger clamp (#2819)  to the extension pipe at the front o.e. rubber hanger, and connect the wire portion of the hanger clamp to the o.e. hanger along side.

4)  Install the inlet of the Y-pipe to the extension pipe using a 3" clamp.  

5)  Install the right tail pipe to the Y-pipe using a 2-1/4" clamp.  The right tail pipe has 3 bends. 

6)  Install the right rear 2-1/4” hanger clamp (#2815) to the right tail pipe just below the o.e. rubber hanger in the rear, between the 2^nd and 3^rd bends.  Connect the wire portion of the hanger to the o.e. hanger above. 

7)  Trim the right tail pipe to length if necessary, and install the tip to the right tail pipe using a 2-1/4” clamp.

8)  Install the left tail pipe to the Y-pipe using a 2-1/4" clamp.  The left tail pipe is routed between the spare tire and the shock.  The left tail pipe has 4 bends.

9)  Install the left tail pipe extension (one bend) to the left tail pipe using a 2-1/4" clamp.  Trim the left tail pipe extension to if necessary, and install the other tip to the left tail pipe extension using a 2-1/4” clamp.    

10)  Install the left front 2-1/4” hanger clamp (#2816) to the left tail pipe below the middle o.e. rubber hanger mount.  Attach the wire portion of the hanger to the o.e. mount above.

11)  Use the included cable tie to tie off your emergency brake cable away from the left tail pipe.

12)  Just above the connecting point of the left tail pipe and the left tail pipe extension, there are two small holes in the frame.  You will need to drill the rear most hole to 3/8” to fit the included bolt, nut, and lock washer.  On the inside of the frame however, there is a wiring harness that you will need to keep out of the way when drilling.  Make sure that this harness is out of the way, and drill this hole.  Install the BR91930 (you may want to bend the metal strap for clearance) swinger hanger to the hole you just drilled using the include hardware.  Use the 2-1/4” clamp from step 9) to attach the BR91930 hanger to the connecting point of the left tail pipe and the left tail pipe extension.

13)  Tighten all clamps and bolts.  Check for clearance of the frame, body, and brake and fuel lines.  Use the extra 3/8” nut to attach the ground to the nearest 3” clamp u-bolt.
