PLEASE READ BEFORE PROCEEDING

PerTroniethanks 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 build up.

1. From underneath the vehicle disconnect the Y-pipe from the exhaust manifold.
2. Remove the nuts attaching the heat shields to the factory manifolds and remove the shields. Unbolt and remove the manifolds.
3. Clean the sealing surface on the cylinder head. Apply a small bead of high temp sensor safe RTV to the domes on the headers.
4. Apply a small amount of anti seize to the supplied header bolts. Using the supplied gaskets and fasteners install the new headers. Tighten evenly from the center out.
5. Reconnect the exhaust system to the headers using the supplied hardware. Torque the fasteners evenly.
6. On 2002 and newer Dodge Rams: You will need to relocate the heater hoses away from the header. Disconnect the fasteners holding the clamps in place and the rotate the lines outward away from the header. The lines should rest against the A/C receiver/dryer on the firewall. Secure the heater lines in place on the A/C receiver/dryer using the supplied cable ties
7. Check to make sure there is adequate clearance on plug wires, battery cables, wire looms, brake lines, etc.
8. Re-connect battery cables.
9. Start the engine and let it warm up. Check for leaks. Shut engine off and let it cool down. Check to make sure all fasteners are tight.
10. All tubular headers require maintenance including periodically checking and retightening of the header bolts.
