4. Remove the bolts and clamps from the system and
lubricate the rubber hangers.

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. AlignnotchinI-pipesupplied withaligningpin infactory
assembly, then clamp the intermediate pipe to the
catalytic converter Y-pipe assembly with the stock
clamp or 2-1/2” clamp provided and just snug it so you
can adjust the pipe easily on the catalytic Y-pipe
assembly.
2. Slip the muffler onto the intermediate pipe with a 3”
clamp on the front. The offset of the muffler is the inlet
(front) on these vehicles. Snug the clamp so you can
adjust the pipes.
3. Install muffler hanger/clamp assembly #23-4033 into
stock rubber hangers.
4. Install overaxle pipe into muffler and rear hanger clamp
onto the stock rubber hanger. Install tailpipe into rear

Note: Ford uses two different length rubber hangers to
support the exhaust system depending on the year of
the vehicle. You may find it necessary to lower the
overaxle pipe away from the frame. This can be done
by installing the two thick 3/8” washers between the
frameand thefactoryexhaust supportbracketbolted to
the frame.
