INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Suggested Tools for Installation:

❑

3/8” rachet set and metric sockets

❑

15mm wrench

❑

Jackstands and jack

❑

Liquid penetrant and rubber lubricant

DISASSEMBLY

1. Raise vehicle and support with the proper jackstands for

the weight, leaving the suspension hanging.

2. Use caution around hot exhaust systems to avoid burns.

3. Use penetrating oil on all nuts and bolts.

4. Remove all nuts, bolts, and hanger lances from the rear of

the catalytic converter to the tailpipes and save them.

5. Remove the old system. In some cases, you will find it

easier to cut the overaxle pipe to remove it.

ASSEMBLY

1. Install the intermediate pipe to the catalytic converter

with the stock bolts and just snug them so you can adjust
the pipe easily.

2. Slip the overaxle pipe in over the axle from the rear. As

you rotate it into position, slip the hanger bracket on the
tube onto the stock frame mounted rubber hanger. Line
the intermediate pipe rear outlet up with the front of the
overaxle pipe and slip them together. Install one of the 3”
band clamps on the connection and just snug it so that
you can adjust.

3. Install muffler onto outlet of overaxle pipe along with a 3”

band clamp.

WARNING: Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, a deadly invisible gas. Correct any leaks before driving!

4. Install elbow #25-3224 on the left side outlet of the

muffler and elbow #25-3225 on the right side outlet using
2-1/2” band clamps.

5. Install left hanger clamp #23-4068 onto O.E. rubber

isolator using supplied bolt, nut, and washers. Larger
fender washer goes against isolator. Snug clamp.

6. Install tailpipes onto elbows, snug the hanger clamp on

the left side. Install a 3” band clamp on the right side
elbow and snug the clamp.

7. Now begin at the front of the vehicle, align the system,

paying particular attention to the overaxle area. When
you have the overaxle pipe centered between the inner
panel and the gas tank shield, tighten up the band clamp
behind converter and 3” band clamp on the overaxle
connection. Make sure that you rotate the band clamp to
clear suspension-to-chassis movement.

8. Rotate the muffler up at the rear (about 10 degrees), align

the tailpipes and tighten everything up as you align.

NOTE:

Due to large production tolerances on GM F-Body

cars, it may be necessary to trim overaxle pipe at the
muffler inlet.

CAUTION:

There needs to be a minimum of

2” slipped into muffler for proper clamping.

Tailpipe

centering can be affected by how muffler is positioned on
vehicle; muffler should be parallel to the rear axle.
Trimming of the elbows at the muffler can also be used to
adjust tailpipe centering.

9. Check for leaks and correct as needed.

MPORTANT NOTE:

Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer. Improper installation will void warranty and may

result in poor performance and engine or vehicle damage.
