09-14 DODGE RAM TRUCK HEADER INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Thanks for purchasing Stainless Works Muscleflow Headers 2009-2014 Dodge Ram
Truck 5.7L. We have gone to great pains to make sure that our exhaust systems fit and
sound great. Please follow these steps to ensure that your installation goes as planned.
1. Stainless Works recommends the use of Hi-Temp RTV sensor safe silicon gasket
maker as an option to or in conjunction with the use of factory gaskets. The
recommended Oxygen Sensor Safe RTV is either Valco All-in-One Aluminum or
Permatex Copper P/N 101BR available at NAPA, Autozone and other retailers.
2. Disconnect the battery before starting work on the exhaust system for your
vehicle. Reconnect the battery when the job is completed.
3. Your exhaust system can be installed by a weekend warrior but the use of a lift is
recommended for ease of installation. If using a jack, the vehicle must be placed
on a level hard surface and jack stands are required for safety reasons.
4. You will assemble the components together as specified below, but only snug the
clamps as you move along from front to back. When placing the X-pipe into
position, make certain that you push it fully forward and level it in with the
vehicle. After aligning all the components in the vehicle, you will tighten all the
clamps working from front to back of the vehicle.
5. Remove air box and air inlet pipe.
6. Remove heat shields from manifolds (8) 6mm nuts (4 per side)
7. Remove O2 sensors.
8. Disconnect exhaust from Y pipe and connection point in front of muffler (this
section will not be used).
9. Remove (4) 10mm bolts (2 per side) from manifold to catalytic converters
connection point.
10. Remove Y-pipe.
