Using a reciprocating saw, cut the
two (2) intermediate pipes 13” front

NOTE: All clamps should be positioned
at the beginning of the slots (on the
1⁄2 circle punch).
NOTE: Once the pipe / muffler has
been completely engaged in the slip
joint, mark the pipe with a scribe or
tape for reference when tightening the
clamps later in the installation. Mark
each slip joint in this fashion.

corresponding vehicle rubber hanger.
Lightly tighten the rear muffler hanger
clamp to secure the tailpipe.
10.
Adjust the tip about 1⁄2” under
the body panel, such that the tip
position is aesthetically pleasing.
11.
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 4). This
allows the hangers to be properly
positioned once the exhaust reaches
operating temperature.
