You MAY have to shorten the intermediate pipe depending on your engine size.

- Install the new tailpipe by slipping the clamps over the inlet side of the tailpipe. Slip the pipe onto the over axle pipe.
- Tighten the two nuts at the front flange evenly until tight.
- Check the alignment of the over axle pipe making sure it is clear of any hoses or wiring. Tighten the clamp at the outlet of the muffler once everything is aligned.
- Align the rear Chrome Tip pipe so that it clears the body and looks aesthetically pleasing. Once you are satisfied with the position, tighten the clamp.
- Check to make sure that everything is clear of any hoses or wiring, and the spare tire.

Work Smart • Work Safe! Most Exhaust Installations 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!
to Before starting, allow the vehicle to cool, disconnect the battery, and
spray penetrating oil on all hardware and fittings that will need to be
removed. Silicone spray on rubber hangers will make them easier to remove and
install.
