Many factors affect the installation of headers and y-pipes, some of which are broken or aftermarket motor mounts,
accidents that impact the configuration of the frame, and/or the installation of different engines or aftermarket
cylinder heads. Most installations require some welding. If you are uncomfortable with welding operations, we
recommend that you contact a professional exhaust system specialist to install your new Y-Pipe.

BEFORE STARTING

We recommend welding all pipe slip joints. If no welding equipment is available at the

time of installation, use the furnished clamps to secure the pipes until they can be
welded. If you are not going to weld the slip joints, apply a liberal amount of Ultra
Copper Hi-Temp Sensor-Safe Silicone Sealer to the joints to further ensure a proper

seal.
This Y-Pipe is designed to fit with Doug’s Header Part No. D3328 or D3329 only!
This Y-Pipe will attach to a stock catalytic converter.

DISASSEMBLY

the body and align as needed.

components. Also, ensure that the Connector Pipe is rotated and indexed properly prior
to tightening.

10. Connect the negative battery cable.

START THE ENGINE

Start the engine and allow it to warm up to operating temperature. Check for any unusual
noises or exhaust leaks. If every thing is OK, stop the engine and tighten all bolts while
the engine is still warm.
NOTE: Check the bolts periodically to make sure they have not loosened. Re-tighten
after the first 500 miles and then again at 1000 miles.

IMPORTANT CHECK LIST

Be sure that all brake lines and fuel lines are clear of headers and/or connector

pipes.

All spark plug wires, battery cables, or other electrical components should be clear

of headers and/or connector pipes.

Double-check the tightness of all bolts including brackets and accessories.
