Original Exhaust System Removal
Note: With a used vehicle, we suggest a penetrating spray lubricant to be applied liberally to all
exhaust fasteners and allowing a significant period of time for the chemical to lubricate the threads
before attempting to disassemble.
1. Remove two top bolts and two bottom nuts securing the anti-sway bar leaving the bottom bolts,
which run through the lower control arm in place.
2. Swing the anti-sway bar down and out of the way as shown in figure 1.
3. Loosen the clamps shown in figure 2 located just under the transmission at the rear of the
vehicle.
4. Using a 13mm socket, unbolt the spring hangers located just in front of the clamps as shown in
figure 3. Place the bolts aside for use during the installation of your new exhaust system.
5. With a muffler stand or an additional person to hold the h-pipe assembly up into position, using a
15mm socket, unbolt the flanges shown in figure 4 located just behind the catalytic converters.
Place the hardware and gaskets to the side for use during the installation of your new exhaust
system.
6. Remove the h-pipe assembly from the vehicle by dropping the front down, than sliding the rear
portion out of the factory over axle pipe/muffler assemblies.
7. Remove the vacuum lines as the one shown in figure 5 from each muffler assembly and insert the
plugs included with your new system into each line. Tuck the vacuum lines away into the
bumper.

assemblies.
