Installing an MBRP Turbo Back Diesel Exhaust system can transform your vehicle’s sound and performance. This guide will walk you through the steps to achieve that rugged sound you desire.
Understanding the MBRP Turbo Back Diesel Exhaust System
The MBRP Turbo Back Diesel Exhaust system is designed to maximize exhaust flow, improve performance, and enhance the sound of your diesel engine. It replaces the factory exhaust system from the turbocharger to the rear of the vehicle.
- Improved exhaust flow
- Enhanced engine performance
- Rugged sound profile
- Durable construction
Tools Required for Installation
Before starting your installation, gather the following tools:
- Socket set
- Wrench set
- Torque wrench
- Cutting tool (if necessary)
- Jack and jack stands
- Safety glasses
- Gloves
Step-by-Step Installation Process
Step 1: Prepare Your Vehicle
Start by parking your vehicle on a flat surface and engaging the parking brake. Raise the rear of the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands for safety.
Step 2: Remove the Old Exhaust System
Using your socket set, remove the bolts securing the factory exhaust system. If your vehicle has a welded exhaust, you may need to cut it off. Be cautious and wear safety glasses during this process.
Step 3: Install the MBRP Turbo Back Exhaust
Begin by installing the downpipe from the turbocharger. Secure it with the provided clamps and bolts. Follow this by attaching the mid-pipe and then the tailpipe section. Ensure all connections are tight but do not overtighten.
Step 4: Check Alignment and Secure Everything
Check the alignment of the exhaust system to ensure there are no contact points with the vehicle’s frame or suspension. Adjust as necessary and secure all clamps and bolts with a torque wrench to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Step 5: Test the System
Start your vehicle and listen for any unusual sounds. Check for leaks around the joints. If everything sounds good, lower your vehicle and take it for a test drive to experience the new sound and performance.
