HONDA RUBICON BOLT ON ADAPTER WITH 1 3/8” O.D. OUTLET
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Carefully remove the original equipment spark arrester bolts. These bolts may try to seize and break off as
you try to remove them. Use penetrating oil and work the bolts back and forth till they will come out
without breaking. It is not necessary to remove the spark arrester, but make sure the gasket behind it stays in
place.
2. Apply Orange Hi-Temp Silicon liberally to the rear of the spark arrester, where the adapter and gasket will
contact it. Apply silicone sealant to both sides of the gasket and install in place on the muffler.
3. Apply anti-seize compound to the threads of the 6 x 20mm replacement bolts supplied in the kit.
4. Again, make sure gasket behind the spark arrester is in place and make sure the new gasket for the adapter is
in place. Then hold the adapter in place being careful to get it exactly in place the first time. Start all 6 x
20mm replacement bolts and turn them in and tighten them evenly. It is important that these bolts be
tightened evenly so the adapter seals properly all the way around.
5. Let the silicone dry while you finish the installation of the Stealth Exhaust 2.0. It is important that the
silicone has adequate time to dry before starting the machine. Check the tightness of the mounting bolts
again, both before and after starting the machine.
6. This adapter has a 1 3/8” O.D. so the Stealth Exhaust 2.0 can now slide over it and be installed direct, using
the 1 3/8” muffler clamp in your kit.
7. IMPORTANT: If you are using the 80 degree adapter elbow pipe for the connection between the bolt on
adapter and the Stealth Exhaust 2.0, you must slide the #59 Split Bushing, from your Exhaust kit, onto the
bolt on adapter outlet before installing the elbow. This bushes the outlet up to the proper 1 ½” size needed
to install the elbow. ALWAYS USE HI-TEMP SILICONE ON ALL CONNECTIONS FOR MAXIMUM
NOISE REDUCTION.
