3/8" ratchet set with SAE and metric sockets

9/16” and 15mm wrenches

Jackstands and jack
Liquid penetrant and rubber lubricant

DISASSEMBLY
1.

Raise vehicle and support with 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 the bolts and clamps from the system and lubricate the rubber hangers.

5.

Use a long pry bar to pull the rubber hangers off of the pipe hangers.  

6.

Remove the old system.  In some cases, you will find it easier to cut the overaxle pipe to remove
it.

ASSEMBLY
1.

Slip the intermediate pipe onto the catalytic converter outlet pipe with the 2-1/2” clamp and just
snug them so you can adjust the pipe easily on the catalytic pipe.  Engage hanger onto rubber
factory mounts.

2.

Slip the muffler onto the intermediate pipe with a 3” clamp on the front.  The offset of the muffler
is the (rear) outlet.  Snug the clamp so you can adjust the pipes.

3.

Install a 3” U-clamp hanger assembly on the front of the overaxle pipe and engage it into the
stock rubber hangers.  Snug the clamps.

4.

Install tail pipe hanger, engage into rubber mount.  Do not tighten at this time.
Note:

You will find there are two different tail pipe hanger assemblies in this system.  This was

done because the Durango has two different rear frame configurations.  Use whichever hanger
assembly allows you to position the tail pipe under rear bumper properly.  With the correct hanger
in place, you can adjust the height of the tail pipe by sliding the hanger forward or back.  Tail pipe
gets very hot and can burn plastic bumper if too close.

5.

Working from the front of the system, align and tighten each pipe.  Check for clearance to body,
frame, and driveline as you tighten the system from front to rear.

6.

Using the 3/8 nut supplied in kit, re-install grounding strap to U-clamp of cat-back system.

7.

Check for leaks and correct if any is found.
