RAPID FLOW INSTALLATION
INTRODUCTION
The Bully Dog Rapid Flow Exhaust Systems have been specially designed with the lowest mandrel bends in the industry. The lower mandrel bends allow increased air ow which reduces exhaust temperatures and burns more fuel in the combustion chamber resulting in additional horsepower and fuel economy. This instruction set covers the Rapid Flow 3.5” Aluminized Cat Back Dual Exhaust for the 5.6L Nissan Titan vehicles ‘04-’10.
Note: This instruction set and the Rapid Flow Exhaust systems included are made exclusively for the
5.6L Nissan Titan vehicles ’04-’10.

IMPORTANT: It is illegal in all 50 states and Canada to remove the catalytic converter. Catalytic Converters must be reinstalled in accordance with Federal Law.
In these steps you will remove the stock exhaust system.
Remove the stock Tail pipe:
1. Locate the joint just behind the muer that connects the tailpipe to the front sec­tion of the exhaust. Disconnect the tailpipe from the front section of the exhaust, and then move to the other end of the tail pipe to remove the tail pipe through the rear end of the vehicle.
2. Use channel locks and a graphite lubricant to remove the hangers welded to the tail pipe from the rubber grommets that hold them in place. Once each hanger has been removed from those grommets the tail pipe can easily be removed in one peace out the rear side of the vehicle.

Remove the Muffler and front section: The Muffler and connected tubing which also connects to the catalytic converter are removed in a single piece.
1. Locate the area along the exhaust stream just behind the catalytic converters. Notice
that the exhaust system can be disconnected just behind the catalytic converts on the driv-
14mm
ers side and passenger side. Use a 14mm hand wrench to loosen the nut and bolt holding the exhaust onto the Catalytic Converter. Save all of the hardware and reuse the hardware on the new systems.
Disconnect exhaust from Catalytic Converter
2. Notice that there is a gasket between the exhaust piece and the catalytic converter; save this gasket because it needs to be reused for the install of the Bully Dog Exhaust System.
If the gasket material is worn out and will no longer facilitate a good seal, a new gasket can be purchased at an OEM dealer or the gasket can be replaced by cutting out a gasket using an exhaust rated gasket material.
Save the Gaskets and Hardware

3. As was done on the tail pipe, remove all exhaust hangers from the rubber grommets. To make removing the Hangers an easier process, it is recommended that you use a graphite spray lubricant to spray each of the rubber hangers holding the stock exhaust. Once that is done the muer and attached exhaust tubing will remove in one large section.

2. Begin the installation with the Driver Side 1 pipe by attaching it to the drivers side cata­lytic converter. Make sure that the stock gas­ket is in place before attaching this exhaust piece. Use the stock hardware to secure the tube.
3. Attach Passenger Side 1 tube making sure to reinstall the gasket. Use the stock hardware to secure the tube.

4. Hang the hanger A and secure passenger side 1 tube in hanger A. Do not tighten yet!
5. Attach Driver Side 2 to the end of Driver Side 1, use a clamp to secure the attachment but do not completely tighten the clamp because the pipe will need to be adjusted for t. Also attach the tube into Hanger A and loosely at­tach in Hanger A.

6. Install Axle piece 1, use the stock hanger location and the hanger that is welded onto Axle piece 1.
7. Install the muer onto the end of Axle piece 1. With the muer temporarily attached to Axle piece 1 mea­sure the excess length on tube: passenger side 1, and driver side 2. Then remove the muer and cut any excess length on the end of those two tubes. Some vehicles do not require any cutting.

9. Next install the hanger adapter in preparation for installing the Dual Tail Pipe. The Hanger Adapter simply installs onto the vehicle frame next to the stock rubber grommet used to hang the stock exhaust. Then install the tail pipe and attach the clamps to the joint between the Dual Tail Pipe, Axle 1 and Axle 2.

10. Once the entire exhaust system is installed, inspect the system to ensure that no part of the ex­haust is in direct contact with the chassis or body; adjustments may be necessary. Having any part of the exhaust system in direct contact with any part of the body or chassis will the cause the exhaust to rattle.
11. Return to each of the clamps and tighten with a 14mm wrench or socket driver. The clamps should be tightened to hand tight, do not tighten to the point that exhaust tubing deforms.

12. The nal step is to install the Exhaust Tips, once positioned tighten the bolt on tip using a 17mm hand wrench or socket driver.

If your exhaust seems too loud, Bully Dog can sell you another muer which will allow you to double stack muers. This extra muer would take place of one of the straight pipes included with this system.
This is only applicable for aluminized systems.
If your exhaust is too quiet (and is being used ex­clusively for o-road use) you can purchase another straight pipe to replace your muer.
