Removal of Stock System: 1. Apply a penetrating lubricant liberally to all exhaust fasteners, hangers and rubber insulators. 2. Loosen the nut on the band clamp located behind the catalytic converter using a 15mm wrench or socket. 3. Remove the muffler and tail pipe from the OEM rubber hangers. If a hoist is being used the system can be removed in one piece by removing the bottom shock bolt of the passenger side on ’03-’04 models. This is not required on ’05-’07 models.
4. Loosely assemble the in bed portion of the T-Pipe Assembly (T-Pipe, 13” Elbow and 37” Elbow). Some models may require trimming of the T-Pipe in order to accommodate the width of the truck bed and the Stacks that have been purchased. Be sure to place the Clamps over the pieces before they are assembled. Figure 3 Figure 4 5. Place the Stacks onto the T-Pipe Assembly and place into the desired position in the truck bed.
10. Set the T-Pipe Assembly at the desired height from the floor of the bed (This will set the height of the Stacks). Using spacers to hold the T-Pipe Assembly at the desired height, loosely attach the Stacks to the Mounting Brackets making sure that they are straight. This will hold the assembly steady while you line up to the exhaust underneath the vehicle. Refer to Figure 7. Figure 7 11. Measure from the T-Pipe slip joint to the Extension Pipe.
