Description: 2-1/2” off-road X-pipe for 1996-1998 Mustang 4.6L GT.
OFF-ROAD RACE USE ONLY!! This product is not intended for use on public roads. It is recommended that the customer use MIL eliminator part number 129-1675, or equivalent, to avoid the vehicle from running improperly.
Instructions:
DO NOT TIGHTEN ANY BOLTS OR CLAMPS UNTIL THE LAST STEP!!
1) Remove the oxygen sensors from the original H-pipe. Remove the original H-pipe from the car, unbolting the system at the manifolds (or shorty-headers) and at the flanges at the middle of the vehicle. Leave the existing rear extension pipes, mufflers and tail pipes in place unless you will be installing another replacement system. You will likely need to use a lubricant to remove the nuts.
NOTE: you will need to re-use the manifold studs and nuts to install this system. Hardware is included for bolting the rear of the system to your existing exhaust system.
2) Install the driver’s side of the X-pipe (left front section) to the driver’s side manifold, using the original hardware.
3) Repeat step 2) for the passenger side pipe. On the passenger side, you will need to use the included gasket.
4) Install the rear section X-pipe to the front sections, using 2-1/2” clamps.
5) Connect the rear flanged sections of the rear section X-pipe to the existing rear exhaust system using the 3/8” x 2-1/2” bolts, nuts, lock washers, and two fender washers per bolt hole on the flanges. Connect the hangers on the X-pipe to the o.e. mounts.
6) Install the oxygen sensors to the appropriate oxygen sensor nut of each front section. Use the included cable tie to tie the rear oxygen sensors up to the main oxygen sensor cable and speed sensor cable.
7) Tighten all clamps and bolts. Check for clearance, leaks and rattles.
