JEEP JK 2012+ EXHAUST SPACERS
GENERAL NOTES:
• These instructions are also available on our website; www.synergymfg.com.
Check the website before you begin for any updated instructions and additional
photos for your reference.
• The installation of these exhaust spacers relocates the factory crossover pipe
down and rearwards to allow for additional front drive shaft clearance.
• Installation of the spacers can be done with simple hand tools.
PARTS LIST:
1. (1) Long (Passenger side) exhaust spacer
2. (1) Short (Driver side) exhaust spacer
3. (4) Hex Head Bolt M8x1.25 – 80mm long Gr8.8
4. (4) 5/16” Gr8 flat washer
5. (1) 0.5 mL Capsule 242 Medium Strength Loctite
INSTALLATION:
1) Begin by removing the stock transfer case skid plate. Remove the 4 mounting
bolts using an 18mm socket. See picture below.
2) Next, loosen the exhaust clamp where the factory cross over pipe enters mid
exhaust section just behind the transmission cross member. Use a 15mm wrench
for this.
3) With the clamp loosened, knock off the small rivet which prevents the factory
cross over pipe from sliding further into the mid section of the exhaust. An air
hammer with a chisel end works great for this. However it can easily be removed
by hand with a hammer and chisel if an air hammer is not available. See image
3.1 and 3.2 below for before / after reference photos.

cross over pipe to the exhaust manifolds. Use a 13mm wrench for removal.
