Overview

PREPARE VEHICLE FOR KIT INSTALLATION

2. Raise vehicle up on a hoist or rack to working height. If you don’t have access to a hoist or rack, support vehicle with jack stands.

WARNING:

Avoid serious burns! Allow your vehicle time to cool completely before touching any factory engine components.

To ease preparation and installation of your new kit:

Apply penetrating lubricant to mounts, bolts and clamps before you remove them.
Use stands as necessary to support parts as you detach them from your vehicle and again as you install new parts.

3. Support system with stands then loosen ball clamp, disconnect isolator from hanger and remove driver side muffler. Disconnect remaining hangers from isolators.

4. Remove fasteners and disconnect exhaust at front flange connections (x2). Retain (x4 ea.) springs and nuts then disconnect wire hangers. Remove and retain bolts (x4) from mounts then lower system down and set it aside.

5. Remove and retain (x4) bolts that attach first set of factory hanger mounts behind front flange connections.
