SME10/ SME13
Stainless steel header/cross-member back exhaust system for
1969-74 Mopar E-bodies
SME10: 2-1/2” w/ x-pipe
SME13: 3” x/ x-pipe (coming soon)
1. Begin by placing the vehicle on a lift or four jack stands at maximum height to
aid in an easier installation. To help ease the installation, pre-t all the components into
a complete system on your garage oor, using the diagram provided.
2. First, remove the existing exhaust system from the headers or the exhaust
manifolds back. You can also remove any hanger mounted to the frame as your new kit
includes new hangers.
3. Now it’s time to install your new components. You will be starting from the
back of the car and working your way forward. Begin by installing the new tailpipes.
Temporarily hang the tails over the rear axle. These tailpipes are designed to mount in
the factory rubber tail pipe hanger. If they are not present you can utilize the universal
rubber strap style hangers provided. Slide the mufers onto the tailpipes placing a
support under them. You will be clamping a hanger to the back of the mufer neck and
attaching it to the under body of the car. In some applications, your factory hangers
may be used.
4. Slide the mufers on to the tailpipes. The inlet should be closest to the drive
shaft and the outlet should be towards the rockers of the car. The clamp attached to
the hanger at the backside of the mufer will be the only connection clamp used. The
mufer inlets should be angled in towards the driveshaft for connection to the rear legs
of the x-pipe.
5. Next, install the x-pipe. This is where trimming of the front legs may be
required for the optimum t. Install the xed rear legged “X” onto the mufers rst.
Your center “X” should be positioned approx 8-12 inches behind the tail shaft of your
transmission and centered under the driveshaft. Also, the center plate in the “X” has an
arrow stamp which must point forward. Next, slide the front legs into the x-pipe. They
should end somewhere close to the humps in your transmission cross-member. These
may need to be trimmed to t the width of your headers or optional down-pipes. Nar-
rowing width will require trimming to leg as it slides into the center “X”. Be extra careful
when measuring and cutting. A helpful tip: Line up the front legs under the center “X” to
mark your cut lines making sure to line them up with you headers or down pipes. Finish
the system by connecting the front legs of the x-pipe to the headers (collector reducers)
utilizing the two 1ft connection pipes. Trimming the length may be required. If down
pipes are used, make sure they end close to the rear side of the transmission cross
member. If they are too long they must be trimmed. Some header applications require
custom collectors due to the header not ending square and parallel in the car. For
proper system t, you collectors must run parallel with your rocker panels.
6. Finish the system by making all your nal adjustments to position the x-pipe,
mufers and tailpipes. Now tighten all the clamps (Warning: tightened clamps will
leave marks in the tubing, making removal or adjustments extremely difcult) or for the
best t weld all the slip joints. Stainless steel can be welded with your standard mig
welder, and is highly recommended when possible.
Now it’s time to re up that muscle car and enjoy your
new Pypes Performance Exhaust.
