As a result of the restricted room available on some applications, you may experience a close fit to some body and chassis
components, this is a normal condition. If this is your first time installing an exhaust product, it may be time consuming.
While not complex, stick with it. As soon as you start your engine, the reward of additional horsepower and performance will
be well worth your efforts.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING:
For the ease of installation, your vehicle must be raised a minimum of 24". WARNING: Should you decide to install any exhaust
products yourself, be warned that the original equipment jack that came with the vehicle is intended for emergency use only. The use of
a frame jack in conjunction with a floor jack as main support is highly recommended to minimize the accidental dropping of a vehicle
while the installation proceeds. Never go under any vehicle that is supported by a bumper jack!
CHOOSE THE MOUNTING LOCATION FOR YOUR CUTOUT(s):
Please keep in mind that the underside of all vehicles will vary. The most performance efficient location to mount them is right behind
your headers. On non-header equipped applications an area close to the front of the system after the pipes makes their exit from the
engine compartment parallel to the underside of the vehicle.
It is very important that extreme caution be taken to insure that there is ample clearance (due to the extreme temperature range of the
exhaust gases) between the main body of the CUTOUT(s), as well as the CUTOUT(s) dump exits and the following items:
1. Ground Clearance 5. Fuel lines 9. Fuel Pumps
2. Vehicle Floor Pan 6. Brake Lines 10. Traction Bars
3. Frame and Sub-Frame 7. Wiring & Wiring Harnesses 11. Parking Brake Cable
4. Drive Shaft 8. Suspension Components
YOUR CUTOUT SHOULD ALWAYS BE WELDED OR BOLTED INTO PLACE.
MUFFLER CLAMPS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED, AS EXHAUST LEAKS MAY OCCUR.
After installation has been completed, coat the threads on the studs and wingnuts with an anti-seize product. We highly recommend
that you re-coat the threads periodically to prevent corrosion and rust from forming. Using a crescent wrench or a set of pliers, tighten
the wingnuts 1/8 of a turn past finger tight. After your CUTOUT(s) have been installed for a while, the bypass plate will seat into
position and finger tightening the wingnuts should be enough tension to keep them from coming loose. Please remember to check the
wingnuts from time to time, as you would your header bolts, making sure they haven't loosened.
When you have finished installing your CUTOUT(s), take the vehicle for a road test. Listen carefully for any exhaust leaks or other
strange noises and make corrections. When the vehicle has been driven for a few days, retighten the wingnuts.
NOTE: This product must be used in compliance of all local, state and federal emissions and noise laws and requirements.
Therefore: this device is not legal for use before the catalytic converter on catalytic controlled motor vehicles. On these
vehicles it is intended for use on racing only vehicles that will never be driven upon a highway. If you have any questions
concerning how this affects you and your vehicle, contact the dealer from whom you purchased this device or contact the
factory direct.
