Product: 4" Performance Exhaust Tube Pipe Kit
LEGAL DISCLAIMER & COMPLIANCE
OFF-ROAD USE ONLY: This high-performance component is engineered exclusively for competition, racing, or sanctioned off-road use. It does not comply with federal or local laws for highway operation. Installation on any vehicle registered for public roads is strictly prohibited. The end-user assumes all legal liability and risk associated with the installation and use of this product.
PHASE 1: DISASSEMBLY & REMOVAL
Step 1: Sensors and Component Extraction
-
Carefully disconnect all EGT sensors, pressure sensors, and DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) injector harnesses from the downpipe, SCR, and DPF units.
-
Remove the bolts from the flange connections joining the Downpipe to the DPF and the SCR to the DPF.
-
Loosen the clamp at the rear exit of the exhaust tailpipe. Completely remove the DPF and SCR units from the vehicle chassis.
PHASE 2: COMPONENT INSTALLATION
Step 2: Downpipe and Pipe #1 Integration Align the flange to the outlet of the downpipe. Loosely tighten the bolts to allow for movement during alignment. Install Pipe #1 and insert the integrated hanger into the factory OEM rubber isolator.
Step 3: Pipe #2 Alignment and Clearance Prior to connection, ensure all necessary pipe clamps are placed over the tubing. Install Pipe #2 onto the end of Pipe #1 and lead it into the inlet of the main exhaust assembly.
-
CRITICAL: Ensure the inner bend of the pipe is oriented toward the truck frame to maintain proper clearance.
Step 4: Hanger and Bracket Securement Install the #3 hardware/hangers into the corresponding dual-hanger positions located on the SCR mounting bracket.
PHASE 3: FINAL CALIBRATION & TORQUE
Step 5: System Adjustment and Tightening The exhaust system should be installed with moderate tension. Adjust the positioning of the new pipes to ensure they meet all clearance requirements and aesthetic standards.
-
Starting from the front flange connection, tighten all hardware and clamps evenly.
-
Work your way toward the rear of the vehicle, ensuring each connection is fully secured.
POST-INSTALLATION ADVISORY
-
ECM Tuning: Installation of this kit typically requires a compatible ECM Calibration (Tune) to account for the removal of factory emissions components.
-
Thermal Check: After the first heat cycle (initial drive), it is highly recommended to re-torque all clamps to account for material expansion and settling.
