TOOLS REQUIRED

• Suitable exhaust pipe cutting tool (reciprocating saw with metal cutting blades or pipe cutter)
• Torque wrench
• 17mm socket

REMOVAL OF STOCK SYSTEM

• STEP 1:
  • The following steps include removal of the front silencer (1)
  • The rear silencer (2) will remain on the vehicle
  • If both the Dinan Axle back (D660-0090) and Dinan X-Pipe (D660-0092) are to be installed at the same time, the entire system can be removed at once from the front of the vehicle (skip to Step 4).

• STEP 2:
  • Locate the cut point on the stock system. This location is shown by the red circles. Each tube will have a punch mark
  • DEPENDING ON YOUR CUTTING TOOL, IT MAY BE EASIER TO REMOVE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM FROM THE VEHICLE AND THEN CUT

• STEP 3:
  • Cut through exhaust pipes at marked point with a suitable tool
  • Ensure the cuts are perpendicular to the pipes

• STEP 4:
  • Removing the front silencer requires loosening the nuts on both clamps at the front of the exhaust system located behind the cats
  • Once loose. Slide clamps towards rear and remove the silencer. If super tight, try some WD-40.

DINAN X-PIPE INSTALLATION

• STEP 1:
  • On the long straight pipes of the X-pipe assembly, place (2) single wide clamps
  • Lightly snug the bolts to hold the clamps in position. Do not tighten at this time.

• STEP 2:
  • In the orientation shown, slide the X-pipe assembly onto the stock pipes at the front of the vehicle
  • The system shall bottom out against the stock pipes but may need slight adjustment to tie into the remaining system.
  • Snug, but do not fully tighten at this time.
  • Use a jack stand to hold up the rear end at the xpipe location

• STEP 3:
  • Locate the 2 outlet tubes.
  • These look similar but one is longer, as shown
  • The longer one will be positioned on the passenger side
  • The shorter one will be positioned on the driver side

• STEP 4:
  • Place (1) single wide clamp on the end of the tube that has the expansion and slots. This shall be done to both tubes
  • Slide on both tubes and bottom out into the x-pipe section
  • See preferred clamp orientation and snug
  • Do not tighten, as adjustment may be needed

• STEP 5:
  • See preferred clamp orientation and snug both pipes
  • Do not tighten, as adjustment may be needed

• STEP 6:
  • Slide the double wide clamps onto the 2 pipes
  • This is where the axle back system will mate to the x-pipe system

• STEP 7:
  • Slide the double wide clamps over the gap, split the difference between the pipes and snug the clamps
  • While pushing up and forward on the x-pipe system, tighten the (4) single clamp nuts to 55Nm (40 ft-lbs)
  • While pushing up on the x-pipe system, as well as pushing the axle back system towards the front of the vehicle, tighten the double clamp nuts to 45Nm (33 ft-lbs)

• STEP 8:
  • Due to the enormous size of this system, adjustment in the pipes, both rotation and depth, may be needed in order to properly seat the exhaust system to your liking.
  • Ensure hangers throughout the system are angled towards the front of the vehicle
  • If installing the DINAN axle back exhaust system, refer to these installation instructions also.

• STEP 9:
  • ENSURE PROPER POSITION OF EXHAUST TIPS
  • ENSURE ALL PIPES HAVE CLEARANCE
  • ENSURE MOTORS ARE PLUGGED INTO WIRE HARNESS
    ADJUSTMENT MAY BE NEEDED ON TIPS AND SYSTEM IF DESIRED PLACEMENT IS NOT TO YOUR LIKING.
    ENJOY!
