How to Replace Jeep Muffler Tail Pipe
If you take your Jeep Wrangler off road often, rust problems can develop on your exhaust system due to water and moisture. Whether you are replacing your exhaust with an aftermarket kit or a factory system, the process is virtually the same. Exhaust kits may be purchased at any local auto parts store and installed yourself using simple tools. Eye protection must be worn to protect against falling debris.
Instructions
Removal of Stock Exhaust
- 1
Cut the exhaust pipe directly behind the muffler using a hack saw.
2Remove the bolts on the flange that connects the muffler to the catalytic converter using a ratchet and socket. Remove the muffler from the vehicle.
3Remove the stock tailpipe hangers off the factory mounts located on the frame by pulling them out of the rubber bushings with your hands.
4Pull the stock tailpipe out of the vehicle.
Installation of New Exhaust
- 5
Slide the tailpipe hangers into the stock bushings located on the frame.
6Lift the muffler into position. Slide one end into the tailpipe.
7Install the flange onto the catalytic converter and tighten the bolts using a ratchet and socket.
8Place the exhaust clamp that came with the kit over the muffler and tailpipe connection. Tighten the bolts using a ratchet and socket.
9Start the vehicle and check for leaks in the system.
