PLEASE READ BEFORE PROCEEDING
PerTronixthanks 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. Check that you received all the parts listed on the parts list, if you have any concerns, please contact Pertronix before continuing. Headers will have the part number stamped in the flange. 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 old gasket debris or carbon builad up.

From underneath, remove the four nuts connecting the exhaust to the catalytic converters. Remove the two 12mm headed bolts from the front exhaust hanger. Push the exhaust system back as far as it will go (about 1 “).
