Check the box to make sure you
received all the parts listed above
before starting. If any parts are
missing, call JBA Tech at 909 599-

5955.

Allow the truck to cool completely,
hot exhaust can and will burn you.

1. Remove the two nuts that hold
the front of the intermediate pipe to
the stock Y Pipe.

6. Slide one of the clamps over the

muffler inlet then slip the New JBA
intermediate pipe into the muffler

inlet. Attach the JBA intermedi-

ate pipe to the stock y Pipe flange
using the two supplied flange nuts.

Do not tighten at this time

11. Align the rear Chrome Tip pipe
so that it clears the body and look
aesthetically pleasing. Once you are

satisfied with the position, tighten

the clamp.

Be sure to see the Complete line of
JBA and PerTronix Performance
parts and accessories at

2. Remove the clamp that holds
the intermediate pipe to the factory

muffler and remove the pipe.

3. Remove the remainder of the
original exhaust system by careful
prying the hangers from the rubber
mounts. WD40 will really help. You
may have to cut the tail pipe from

the muffler section to ease removal.

4. Mount the over axle pipe to the
truck using the two hangers that are
on the pipe to the original rubber
mounts.

5. Slide one of the clamps over the

muffler outlet then slip the muffler

onto the over axle pipe and mount

the muffler to the forward hanger

on the frame. Do not tighten the
clamp at this time.

7. Slide one of the clamps over the
inlet side of the rear Tip pipe. Slip
the pipe onto the over axle pipe.

8. Check that the muffler and inter­mediate pipe are straight and square
to the frame. Tighten the clamp at

the inlet side of the muffler.

9. Tighten the two nuts at the front

flange evenly until tight.

10.Check the alignment of the over
axle pipe making sure it is clear of
any hoses or wiring.
Tighten the clamp at the outlet

of the muffler once everything is

aligned.

12. Check to make sure that ev­erything is clear of any hoses or
wiring, and the spare tire.

13. Check that all clamps are good
and tight.

14. Take the truck for a short test
drive and check for leaks and
rattles. If everything is correct, we
strongly recommend that you tack
weld all the connections to insure
that they do not work loose while
driving.

NOTES:

1. All exhaust systems expand
about 1” rearward when exhaust

temperature rises. Keep this is mind

when mounting components.

2. Use anti-seize on threads of

clamps.

JBA recommends taking the vehicle to a mufer shop and having all slip connections tack welded. 7-11-2012
