Removal:
1)
Raise the vehicle up on a hoist or rack to working height. If you do not have access to a hoist
or rack raise the vehicle and support securely with jack stands.
2)
To make removal of the stock system easier, you may choose to cut the stock tailpipe off
where it exits the muffler. This can be done using a hacksaw or sawsall. This step is not mandatory,
but makes removal easier. After cutting, remove the hanger at the rear of the tailpipe from the rubber
mount/mounts on the vehicle and set aside.
3)
Support the muffler with a stand and remove the two hangers at the rear of the muffler along
with the hangers in front of the muffler from the rubber mounts on the vehicle. Then remove the
clamp on the slip connection just behind the factory Y-pipe.
After removing the clamp, this
connection will have to be either sliced or heated in order to separate the connection.
Remove
the muffler and set aside.

At the rear of the frame, on the driver’s side of the vehicle (next to spare tire) there is an
oversized slotted hole that goes through both sides of the frame. Using this hole, connect frame
