PLEASE READ BEFORE PROCEEDING

PerTronix© thanks you for choosing a JBA Performance Exhaust Product. To realize the potential of JBA’s engineering and excellent fit, Please Read and Understand these instructions completely prior  to starting the installation.

Work Smart – Work Safe! Most Header and Exhaust Installation are best performed on a lift. If a lift is not available, raise the vehicle and support on quality Jack Stands on level ground. Do not rely on a jack!
We use sealing beads on all our headers. The raised bead creates a better seal virtually eliminating leaks if installed properly. It is important to install all header bolts lightly snug and then tighten to factory torque specs starting in the center and working outward.
Before starting, allow the vehicle to cool, disconnect the battery, and spray a penetrating oil on all hardware and fittings that will need to be removed. Once you remove your manifold. clean the sealing surface on the head of any o ld gasket debris or carbon build up.

Disconnect the Y-Pipe from the exhaust and remove from the truck. Support the transmission with a jack and remove the trans crossmember. Remove the Y-Pipe from the truck and reinstall the crossmember with 2 of the bolts to hold it in place so you can get the jack out of your way.
