INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. This Crossover is designed for cars with Long tube
headers for off-road use only! Start by removing your
old crossover at the collector reducers(front) and flow
tubes.(back) We recommend an ample dose of WD40
or other brand of penetrating oil to avoid stripping or
breaking the bolts at the header flanges. Remember to
disconnect your O2 sensor switches before dropping
your existing crossover. You must also disconnect the
air tube located just behind the trans mount on the
passenger side pipe(pre 1996 models).
Note: There are no hangers included with the X pipe
assembly. They are not necessary. Because your
Pypes X pipe is about 40 lbs lighter than the factory H
pipe, the header flanges as well as the muffler/tailpipe
hangers are enough to support the entire system.
2. Your Pypes crossover is modular allowing you to
resize both the length and width to attach to almost any
size long tube header. Take some measurements and
determine how much(if any) pipe will need to be cut
from the forward extensions or the ‘width’ middle
extensions. Cuts must only be made at the BACK of
these extensions and only if necessary. It’s always best
to cut less if not sure. You can always cut a little more.
Install the X pipe kit from the headers back. Do not fully
tighten the X connections. Use a stand to keep the X in
place. When you are satisfied with the fit, tighten all
connections.
Note: With this off road X-pipe, the air tube does not
need to be reconnected. You may hear a slight whistling
sound because of this open tube. It is not harmful to
your vehicle. Do not plug this tube. If you don’t like the
sound you will need to use high temperature flexible
hose and clamps (available at NAPA) to reconnect to
the engine tube.
3. Start engine and listen and look for leaks. Black
deposits at any junctions indicate an exhaust leak.
4. After driving the car for approximately 50 miles,
check the system for any possible loose connections.
The first time you warm up the exhaust system you
will notice quite a bit of white smoke. This is nor-
mal! It is the Mandrel fluid used to bend the pipes
that has not evaporated.
