INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR 2010-2011 FORD F-150
RAPTOR 5.4L HEADERS
Thanks for purchasing Stainless Works Muscleflow Headers for your Ford F-150 Raptor.
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 Permatex Hi-Temp RTV silicon gasket maker as
an option to or in conjunction with the use of factory gaskets. The recommended RTV is
Sensor-Safe P/N 101BR or 27BR, available at NAPA and other retailers.
2. Disconnect the battery before starting work on the exhaust system for your vehicle.
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.
