the tail pipe can be disconnected from the rest of the
exhaust system. HI NT: The factory exhaust can be
disconnected between the catalytic converter and
mufer by removing the U-bolt clamp. Aftermarket

5/16” x 1-1/4” (G) mounting bolts, depending on
the application. Both types of bolts are supplied,
but only one will thread easily into the original
mounting holes.
Place a 5/16” Split Washer (J) and 5/16” Flat
Washer (I) on the appropriate metric (H) or standard (G) mounting bolts. Apply anti-seize lubricant
to bolt threads.
Position Cross-Over Shock Mount against the
