Disassembly
1. Raise vehicle and support with the proper jackstands,

leaving the rear suspension hanging.

2. Use caution around hot exhaust systems to avoid

burns.

3. Use penetrating oil on all nuts, bolts and rubber

hangers.

4. If you are using a lift or jackstands, the old system can

be removed in one piece by removing the lower shock
bolts and the upper arm bolts to let the rear end hang
down as far as possible.

Remove the nuts to the

catalytic converter pipes and remove the old muffler
assembly.

5. If you do not have access to a lift, it will be necessary

to cut off the tail pipes behind the mufflers, then
remove old mufflers.

Please study these instructions carefully before installing your new Cat-Back Exhaust System. If you have any questions,
please contact our Technical Hotline at: 1-800-416-8628, 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, Pacific
Standard Time or e-mail us at Edelbrock@Edelbrock.com.

1. Install the left and right muffler assembly to the

catalytic pipes. Refer to parts list to identify left and
right muffler. Using O.E.M. nuts, snug mufflers only
hand tight at this time.

2. Install the 2-1/2” band clamps onto the mufler outlets.

Install the tail pipes into the mufflers, and the brackets
into the stock rubber isolators.

3. Align the system to clear the chassis and suspension

and tighten all fasteners. It is important to tighten
catalytic pipe flanges evenly for proper leak free seal.
Check and correct, if needed. NOTE: Bumper height
may vary by as much as 1/2” on different vehicles, so
you may need to bend the rear hangers to adjust for
your application.
