MBRP S8000 - Manual (Page 4)

1. Loosely assemble the in bed portion of the “T” Pipe assembly. 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.
2. Place the Stacks onto the “T” Pipe assembly and place into the desired
position in the truck bed. The “Long 90” should be on the driver side so that the
“T” Pipe passes through the bed floor on the passenger side. Refer to Figure 1.
Figure 1
3. Place the Mounting Brackets between the Stacks and the front of the truck
bed so that the Stacks are properly spaced from the front of the truck bed. Center
the Mounting Bracket on the Stack and mark the front of the truck bed in the
center of the slotted holes in the Mounting Brackets. Center punch the marks
and drill holes to accommodate a 3/8” Bolt. Refer to figure 2.
4. Loosely attach the Mounting Brackets to the front of the truck bed using the
3/8” hardware supplied. Set the Stacks up in the bed and loosely attach them to
the Mounting Brackets. Make sure the Stacks are in the desired position and the
Figure 2 “T” Pipe assembly is level.
5. Mark the bed floor where the “T” Pipe is resting. MBRPinc. recommends
tracing around where the “T” Pipe meets the bed floor. Refer to figure 2.
Remove the Stacks and “T” Pipe assembly from the bed of the truck. Find the
center of the circle traced onto the bed floor, mark and center punch it. Go under
the vehicle and locate the center punch mark. This marks the location where you
are going to cut a hole for the “T” Pipe to pass through the bed of the truck. If
you cannot find the center punch mark measure to it in the bed and transfer these
measurements under the vehicle. Make sure that there is clearance for the Elbow
to pass by any frame cross members. Remove or modify any heat shields that
Figure 3 there is any interference shields that there is any interference with.
6. Cut a hole through the truck bed providing adequate clearance around the part
of the “T” Pipe that passes through the truck bed. MBRPinc. recommends using
a 5” diameter hole saw. It may be required to cut part of a bed rail away.
Figure 4
7. 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 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 the
system up to the exhaust under the vehicle. Refer to figure 5.
