2008-2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 Cat-back 3″ Dual Kit with Performance Mufflers
Instructions:
NOTE: DO NOT TIGHTEN ANY CLAMPS UNTIL THE LAST STEP!! Note: you will need to reuse your original tips and clamps for the tips for this system.
1) Support the vehicle in a safe manner, using a shop hoist or frame contact jack stands on a level surface. Remove the old exhaust system behind the converter pipe, where the old system clamps to the converter pipe. Note: you will need to reuse your original factory clamps after the converters, as well as your original factory tips and clamps for the tips. You can remove the old system just by removing the clamps after the converters, and removing the exhaust at the flange after the large dual in/out factory resonator muffler on the driver side, and then pulling the factory exhaust system forward and out of the rubber hanger mounts, you may need to lubricate these to remove the wire hooks from these, reuse these rubber mounts. You will also need to disconnect the ground on the rear hanger on the passenger side at the inlet of the exhaust tip.
2) Install the 2-3/4” i.d. end of the H-pipe to the converter pipe, using the included 2-3/4” clamps. Tighten the assembly slightly, but do not over tighten at this time.
3) Install left and right front mufflers to the H-pipe outlets using the included 3” clamps. Note: the straight end is the inlet on both mufflers, and the hooks of the hangers are welded on the outside edge of the mufflers and hook in towards the o.e. rubber hanger mounts above. Attach these wire hooks to the o.e. rubber hanger mounts above.
4) Install the left (driver side) and right tail pipes to the front mufflers using the included 3” clamps. The tail pipes are mirror images and both have 3 bends, with the long straight end on both being the inlet, and the hooks of the hangers are welded on the outside edge of the tail pipes and hook in towards the o.e. rubber hanger mounts above. Attach these wire hooks to the o.e. rubber hanger mounts above.
5) Install the left and right rear mufflers to the left and right tail pipes using the remaining 3” clamps. The inlets of the rear mufflers have the slots in the necks, and the hooks of the hangers are welded on the outside edge of the mufflers and hook in towards the o.e. rubber hanger mounts above.
