Removal of stock system:
1.
Apply a penetrating lubricant liberally to all exhaust fasteners, hangers and rubber insulators.
2.
Remove the exhaust system from the rubber insulators and remove all of the clamps from the
system.
3.
Separate the slip joint behind the muffler and remove the tail pipe. Next, separate the slip joint located
behind the catalytic converter and remove the muffler and extension pipe. Remove the catalytic
converter by separating the slip joint located between the down pipe and the catalytic converter. Now
loosen the band clamp connecting the down pipe to the turbo and remove the down pipe. Do not
discard the band clamp as it is required for the installation.
4.
Remove the OEM down pipe hanger bracket from the bellhousing. Do not discard these parts as
they are required for the installation.
5.
Remove the spare tire. You may not be able to reinstall your spare tire after the installation of this
exhaust system.
Installation of MBRP Inc. Performance Exhaust:
1.
Slide the OEM down pipe hanger bracket onto the Down Pipe hanger. Install the Down Pipe in the
same position as the stock down pipe by reattaching the hanger bracket to the bellhousing and then
attaching the flared end to the turbo using the stock band clamp. Do not fully tighten until all
components are in place.
2.
Install the Mid Pipe onto the Down Pipe and then the Extension Pipe onto the Mid Pipe. The
combination of the Mid Pipe and Extension Pipe provides the required length to fit a Quad Cab Long
Bed truck or Mega Cab. These pipes will have to be cut to fit all other vehicles.
Installation Tip: Temporarily install the Muffler and Tail Pipe using the factory rubber insulators and
the Hanger Clamp. Measure from the Muffler to the Mid Pipe to determine the length required. Cut
the pipe to the required length.
3.
Install the Muffler over the required pipe so that the exhaust will flow
smoothly over the louvers. Refer to the illustration on the left.
4.
Install the Hanger Clamp into the OEM rubber hanger located on
the frame near the inlet of the Muffler.
5.
Remove the factory rubber insulator for the factory tail pipe and install
it onto the Tail Pipe hanger. Install the Tail Pipe from the rear of the
truck, over the axle and attach to the outlet of the Muffler. Finish
hanging the Tail Pipe.
6.
Install the Hanger Clamp into the two OEM rubber hangers located above the outlet of the Muffler.
7.
Install the provided clamps around pipes where needed. Adjust the Tail Pipe and check along the
whole length of the exhaust system to ensure there is adequate clearance around the fuel and brake
lines or any wiring. If any interference is detected relocate or adjust.
