I am installing a set of pacesetter long tubes on my 04 Ram QC Hemi in the morning with a buddy of mine and I just realized that there are no instruction in the box. It seems pretty straight forward as far as cutting existing exhaust, and removal of manifolds. I am just wondering on installaion if I am missing anything?
Does anyone know of a forum where they cover the installation of these headers? Just want to make sure I am doing everything right.
Anyone have any tips, tricks or advice they could offer?
Thanks everyone

 

You are right, pretty straight forward. Tips? Put in a good gasket and make sure the orientation is right. Put antisieze on the studs/bolts before you put them in.

 

locktight the the studs.... helps from having to re torque the nuts as much ive heard,

 

Not sure how tight it will be but if you have clearance problems, loosen the motor mounts and use a jack to tilt the motor if you need more room. Pivot-joint sockets may work best as well.

 

Here's a nice set of instructions, but they are for the entire Dynatech system. But very good, none-the-less.....

Exactly what I did. The higher you get your front end off the ground the easier. the y pipe will slip out of there without removing extra stuff. You just have to get the whole assembly to swing over to one side and it will slip out past the torsion bars (if you have 4x4).

I used antisieze and didn't have to retighten. I checked periodically and no leaks.
