Maxx Installation Notes (Part #5487)
1. Remove the stock pipe and pipe hanger wire from the chassis.
Note: The removal of the exhaust coupler is not necessary, but
may be helpful during installing of the new pipe.
2. Attach the long hanger wire (included)
to the chassis using the stock hardware.
Using pliers, bend the wire directly upward
from the chassis. The bend should be
about 17mm (11/16") away from the nut that
attaches the wire to the chassis). (A)
3. To make it easier to attach the pipe to the
hanger wire, the wire needs to be cut off
about 51mm (2") above the chassis (B).
Note: It’s better to cut off too little than
too much.
4. Insert the wire through
the mount at the end
of the pipe (C), and
then slide the end of
the pipe into the open
end of the exhaust coupler (D). Make sure
that the pipe is seated into the coupler all
the way around the pipe.
5.
Secure the coupler to the pipe with a
medium zip tie (included), and then secure
the pipe to the hanger wire by tightening
the 4x4mm set screw (E). Finally, attach
the pressure line from the fuel tank to the
pressure fitting on top of the exhaust pipe. (F)

Nitro 4-Tec Installation Notes
1. Remove the stock pipe.
2. Use the small tie-wrap
to secure the receiver
wires to the top and
bottom of the receiver
tray (A). Use the heat
shield to cover the large tie-wrap that secures the receiver. (B)
3. Replace the stock
pipe hanger with the
provided hanger in
the kit. Bend the wire,
making a slight curve
upward (C). Test fit the pipe onto the hanger (D) and into the
coupler and mark where to cut the wire. Remove the pipe and
cut the wire where you made the mark. (Note: It is better to cut
off too little than too much. Leave a little extra, then trim off the
rest after installation is complete.)
4. Follow the Jato installation steps 4 through 7 (under “Install the
performance-tuned pipe”).
5. Secure the pipe to the hanger by tightening the 4x5mm
set screw.
