JEEP JK 4-DOOR Y-PIPE

Thank you for choosing Rough Country for your suspension needs.

This y-pipe kit is intended to gain clearance on the exhaust on the 2012 JK 4-Door models (Will not fit 2-door
models). Changes in the this year model allow the front driveshaft to come in contact with the exhaust with the
addition of most lift kits. This kit will relocate the crossover pipe on the exhaust away from the driveshaft allow­ing for more clearance.

Rough Country recommends a certified technician install this system. In addition to these instructions, professional
knowledge of disassemble/reassembly procedures as well as post installation checks must be known. Always allow the
exhaust to cool before initiating installation. Please read instructions before beginning installation. Be sure you have all
needed parts and know where they go. Please review tools needed list and make sure you have needed tools.

If question exist we will be happy to answer any questions concerning the design, function, and correct use of our prod­ucts by calling 1-800-222-7023.
