Installation Instructions #98001
When installing this exhaust system make sure to use proper safety precautions. Make sure to set parking brake, block tires
and use safety glasses and gloves. Allow exhaust to cool before attempting installation. Severe injury or burns could occur if
safety measures are not taken.
Note: The factory Exhaust Springs and Gaskets will be re used in the install of the Gibson Exhaust.
SUGGESTED TOOLS: Needle Nose Pliers,15mm & 12mm wrenches & sockets, WD-40
1. Remove the factory
muffler by using the
15mm wrench or socket at
the band clamp shown in
the photo. Spraying a
small amount of WD-40
will help with the removal
of muffler from the rubber
hangers
2. Next remove the entire
exhaust. Do not damage
the factory springs or
Exhaust gaskets as they
will be re used.
3. Now install Gibson Muffler
Item D. Slip the muffler in
from the rear of the Rzr.
Slip the lower long
hangers into the rubber
grommets first then pull
back and slide the upper
hanger into the single
rubber grommet.
4. You will need to assemble
the header and collector
before installing onto the
Rzr. Item A will be
installed onto the front
exhaust port. While Item
B is the rear exhaust port.
5. Use the factory springs to
attach Item C to the
header pipes. Item C the
collector will have a top
and a bottom. When
looking at the collector
from the side one way will
have the single exit facing
up wards at about a 10
degree angle or down
ward. You want the single
exit of the collector facing
downward when slipping it
onto the header pipes.
6. Slip item E dome gasket
onto the outlet of the
header collector and install
the header assembly into
the Rzr. Adjust the
header tubes to allow the
flanges to line up properly.
Install supplied header
bolts and factory gasket.
Do not tighten.
7. With the header still loose,
but the header bolts
installed attach the
supplied Gibson springs.
Use the Needle nose pliers
and a small flat head
screw driver to assist with
the install. It is important
to use your safety
goggles.
8. After springs are installed
make sure everything is
fitting properly and tighten
the header bolts. Now
install the supplied heat
wrap around the radiator
hose seen in the photo.
9. Install Cylinder head heat
shield item J. Above
cylinder head you will find
two ½” factory nuts and
bolts. Remove nuts and
install the heat shield
using the factory nuts and
bolts. Once installed and
in place tighten the factory
nuts and bolts.
10. After everything is
installed make sure
everything is clean of all
grease and finger before
starting the vehicle to
maintain a nice clean
surface.
GIBSON EXHAUST systems are designed on a factory stock vehicle. Any aftermarket products installed could increase the sound levels of
the exhaust.
Make sure there is a 1” clearance from ALL rubber brake lines, shock boots, lines, tires, etc. to revent heat related
damage or fire.
