2. Remove O2 sensor, being careful not to rupture or
destroy the unit.
W ARNING: Do not clean this unit in any cleaning solvent
and do not rupture wire.
3. Making sure the converter is cool, remove the exhaust
crossover pipe. You may find it helpful to clamp the con-
verter to the crossmember using pieces of wood and C-
clamps. This will allow you to work the crossover pipe
loose from the converter more easily. If the pipe is frozen
to the converter, it can be heated with a Propane torch
(or equivalent) to help loosen the joint.
4. Unbolt air conditioning support bracket on frame and use
a crescent wrench to bend bracket end approximately 5
to move hoses away from exhaust manifold (see Figure
1).
A S S E M B LY - LEFT SIDE
1. Install T.E.S. flange gasket and one 3/8"-16 x 1" bolt, lock
washer, and flat washer at rearmost bolt hole (leave bolt
loose enough to accept T.E.S.).
2. Install left side T.E.S. manifold from bottom side.
3. Install all bolts and washers on left side and tighten.
4. Replace original equipment spark plug ends on cylinders
#5 and #7 with 60 connectors and boots provided in kit.
DISASSEMBLY - LEFT SIDE
1. Disconnect negative cable from battery.
2. Use penetrating oil on all nuts and bolts to be removed.
This will prevent the possibility of broken or stripped nuts
and bolts
.
3. Remove air cleaner system (note position of line and
hose connections).
4. Disconnect A.I.R. (air injection reactor) tube from exhaust
manifold (if applicable).
5. Disconnect spark plug wires.
6. Disconnect temperature sensor wire.
7. Remove bolts and exhaust manifold.
DISASSEMBLY - RIGHT SIDE
1. Remove air cleaner box.
2. Remove air conditioning hose bracket under air cleaner
box (if applicable).
3. Disconnect spark plug wires.
4. Remove dipstick and both sections of dipstick tube.
5. Remove bolts and exhaust manifold .
6. Clean exhaust flange surfaces on cylinder heads at this
time.
7. Drill two 7/32" holes in the inner fender well panel and pull
heater hoses to panel and secure with clamps provided.
DISASSEMBLY - CROSSOVER PIPE
1. Raise vehicle and support with jackstands.

STAINLESS STEEL TUBULAR EXHAUST SYSTEM #6661
Application:
1992-’95 Chevrolet & GMC Suburban; 2500 Series, 2 & 4 W.D.,
7.4L V8 w/T.B.I., automatic & std. transmission, w/o A.I.R.
INSTRUCTIONS
P L E A S E study these instructions carefully before installing your new Tubular Exhaust System (T.E.S.). If you have any
questions or problems, do not hesitate to contact our Technical Hotline at : 1-800-416-8628.
TUBULAR EXHAUST SYSTEM: These components are designed as a system to improve the exhaust efficiency of the
GM 7.4 Liter T.B.I. (Throttle Body Injection) V8 engine. They are constructed of 409 HP s
tainless steel to better withstand
the high heat present with the T.B.I. engine, especially when used for towing or other heavy duty applications. The stain-
less steel used for these systems is much more durable than mild steel, although it does not appear different in appear-
ance. These systems come with a coat of black paint for good looks and protection during shipping and storage, and
they can be identified by the part numbers on each of the major components. Note that a magnet will stick to this type of
s
tainless steel; magnetic attraction is not a valid test for these systems. A performance gain can be expected by the
installation of the system. This system requires no welding for installation and retains all O.E.M. emissions equipment.
SUGGESTED TOOLS FOR INSTA L L ATION: This vehicle has some metric fasteners.
3/8 ratchet socket set with extensions and universal 13mm and 15mm swivel sockets
Combination set of open-end wrenches
Jackstands, screwdrivers, pliers, crescent wrench, etc.
Drill motor and 7/32" drill bit
Liquid penetrant, (GM #1052627) anti-seize compound (GM #5613695)
W ARNING: The use of Thermal Wrap materials will void the warranty on your Tubular Exhaust System. Those products
can cause excessive heat and moisture buildup resulting in corrosion of the system.
SPECIAL NOTICE: This Edelbrock part has received an Executive Order number (E.O. #) from the California Air
Resources Board (C.A.R.B.) making it legal for street use on pollution-controlled motor vehicles in all 50 states. To
assist
you with emissions equipment certification, we have included a silver fan shroud decal to help testing personnel verify
that this part is a legal replacement part on the vehicle for which it is cataloged. The adhesive-backed decal should be
affixed to your fan shroud next to the existing emission and engine specification decal. Do not cover your original equip-
ment specification decal with the Edelbrock fan shroud decal.
NOTE: High temperature spark plug wires and boots are recommended to withstand heat from TES.
