Step 1: (Read Instructions prior to installation) Remove your stock exhaust from the rear of your truck working your way

forward. Take caution not to damage the factory isolation mounts as they will be reused. It may be helpful to lubricate the

isolation mounts prior to disassembly. It is recommended to not fully tighten the clamps until the entire system has

been installed.

Step 2: For faster installation spread the pieces of the exhaust along side of your vehicle according to the diagram shown.

Step 3: Install the over-axle assembly, utilizing the factory isolation mounts. It may be necessary to remove shock absorber.

Step 4: With 2.5” band clamps install mufﬂer to over-axle assembly. Make sure center inlet on mufﬂer is towards front of

vehicle. Offset outlet should face towards rear of vehicle closer to drive shaft.

Step 5: Select and install mid-pipe with 2.5” band clamp to mufﬂer. Install and tighten bolts at cat side. To adjust for

alignment, tighten all connections and reinstall shock absorber if removed, tighten to factory specs. Your installation is now

complete. It is recommended by aFe to re-tighten all parts after 50-100 miles and continue to check periodically.

NOTES:

• aFe recommends that the tailpipe be at least 1/2”-1” away from any body panels to avoid heat related body damage. Tighten and secure.

• Controller/Programers are required to operate this system. Extra sensor bungs are included and need to be welded in place if your programmer requires sensors.

Caution: Allow time for your vehicle to cool down prior to installation. When working on or under your vehicle proceed with caution. Exhaust systems reach high

temperatures and may cause serious burns. Wear protective safety equipment; eye goggles and gloves to ensure a safe installation. aFe recommends professional

installation on our proaducts.
