CAREFULLY READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION
When installing this exhaust system make sure to use proper safety precautions. Use jack stands when working under the vehicle, set parking brake, block tires and use safety glasses and gloves. Allow exhaust to cool before attempting installation. Severe injury or burns could occur if safety measures are not taken.
SUGGESTED TOOLS: 1/2”, 9/16” 15mm wrenches & sockets, WD-40, hacksaw, jack stands.
2. To remove stock exhaust
unbolt it from the 2 bolt flange located in front of your stock muffler. You will reuse the factory nuts. Cut your stock tailpipe off for easier removal of stock exhaust. Use WD-40 to disengage hangers from rubber grommets. Do not damage or remove the rubber grommets as you will reuse them to mount your new system.
5. Install overaxle tailpipe #C into muffler 1 ½” – 2”. Use clamp #F to secure pipe to muffler. Do not tighten.
GIBSON EXHAUST systems are designed on a factory stock vehicle. Any aftermarket products installed could increase the sound
levels of this Exhaust.
Make sure there is a 1” clearance from ALL rubber brake lines, shock boots, fuel lines, tires, etc to prevent heat
related damage or fire.
4. Slide muffler #B onto headpipe
1 ½”-2”. Use jack stand to support muffler. Use clamp #F to secure muffler to headpipe. Next, install band clamp #G onto muffler. Insert hanger into rubber grommet. Use bolt kit #H to secure band clamp. Do not tighten.
3. Install headpipe #A onto your exisiting 2-bolt flange reuse your factory nuts to secure. Do not tighten. Insert welded hanger onto rubber grommets.
6. Slide exit pipe #D onto overaxle tailpipe. Insert welded hanger into rubber grommet. Use clamp#F to secure pipes together. Do not tighten. Rotate pipe until level.
7. Install stainless steel tip #E. Clamp down. When you have everything in place, firmly tighten all bolts and clamps down securely. Use stainless steel cleaner and a Scotch Brite pad weekly to prevent tip from discoloration. Inspect all fasteners after 25-50 miles of operation and re-tighten as necessary.
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable before removal of OEM exhaust. This will allow the computer to reset and recognize the new exhaust. Lay out the exhaust on the floor so it looks like the drawing and compare parts with manual.
