09+ DODGE RAM TRUCK CATBACK INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Thanks for purchasing a Stainless Works Catback Exhaust System for your 2009+ Dodge
Ram Truck. The Catback for headers version comes with an X-pipe, while the Catback to
factory connection point comes with a Y-pipe. We have gone to great pains to make sure
that our exhaust systems fit and sound great. Please follow these steps to ensure that your
installation goes as planned.
1. Stainless Works recommends the use of Hi-Temp RTV sensor safe silicon gasket
maker as an option to or in conjunction with the use of factory gaskets. The
recommended Oxygen Sensor Safe RTV is either Valco All-in-One Aluminum or
Permatex Copper P/N 101BR available at NAPA, Autozone and other retailers.
2. Disconnect the battery before starting work on the exhaust system for your
vehicle. Reconnect the battery when the job is completed.
3. Your exhaust system can be installed by a weekend warrior but the use of a lift is
recommended for ease of installation. If using a jack, the vehicle must be placed
on a level hard surface and jack stands are required for safety reasons.
4. You will assemble the components together as specified below, but only snug the
clamps as you move along from front to back. When placing the X-pipe into
position, make certain that you push it fully forward and level it in with the
vehicle. After aligning all the components in the vehicle, you will tighten all the
clamps working from front to back of the vehicle.
5. Remove tailpipes from hangers and muffler outlets.
6. Loosen clamp in front of muffler and remove muffler from hangers.
7. Remove muffler.
8. Note: In the instructions below, you may need to replace the word ”Y-pipe” with
the word “X-pipe, depending on which system you ordered. (Systems that fit up
to Stainless Works headers have an X-pipe, while system that fit up to the factory
connection point have a Y-pipe.)
