Secure the vehicle on a level surface making sure the vehicle will not roll or lean when jacked up.

Using a jack, lift up the vehicle. Every vehicle comes from the factory with a jack. To locate and properly use this jack see the owner's manual. The owner's manual will inform you what proper jacking locations should be used.

Secure the vehicle with jack stands on both sides for safety before starting any work. The pinch welds or the frame rails are the two best locations to use. Do not rely on the jack to hold the vehicle up while working.

4

Inspect the entire exhaust system for damage. If your system has multiple sections that are rusted, cracked, or causing exhaust leaks, it is recommended that you install a new exhaust system into your vehicle.

5

Use a floor jack to support the exhaust system.

6

Starting from the rear of the vehicle, remove the components that need to be replaced.
