securely with properly weight-rated
safety stands, ramps or a commercial
hoist. Take care to balance the vehicle to
prevent it from slipping or falling. When
using ramps, be sure the wheels are
centered squarely on the topsides. Place
the transmission in park (automatic), set
the parking brake and securely block the
wheels that are on the ground.

the inlet labeling of the muffler) onto
the intermediate pipe outlet. Orient the

Adjust each of the pipes to ensure
that all of the hanger pins are parallel
with the frame mounted pins and that
the rubber hangers are all positioned
slightly forward (See Figure 3). This
allows the hangers to be properly
positioned once the exhaust reaches
operating temperature.
